As seen yesterday, The F*Word has dedicated a whole week to Earth Day. By us being uber nerdy, tree-hugging, earth freaks and all; we wanted to show everyone out there how to be fashionable without causing a ton of damage to the earth. Now, the climatic point: Don't you hate getting up every morning, dragging yourself out of bed only to get stuck on the 405 {if you're in LA}, ALL of Manhattan or whatever street that helps you access where you're going a tad bit easier only to have it clogged by tons of other people? There's no denying that spring is here so why not opt for a more earth conscious ride around town. Besides everybody's doing it. {I know, I can dish out the peer pressure}

Remember This?
Do you guys remember this tote that cause such an uproar, it created several spawns? Yes, well I still remember it like it was yesterday. And if you wanted Anya Hindmarch's tote from last year, you still won't be able to get it this year unless you search ebay or craigslist. But there is always hope and while I decided not to overwhelm the masses with choices, I just chose one representing the most artistic and another for the most impactful statement {see the above bag for last years winner} Enjoy!
"For Like Ever" Tote by Village {Most Impact}
Keren Richter for Vans Artistic Tote {Obviously, Most Artistic}
Juicy Couture "Go Green" Tote {Go Figure Award, not something to be proud of btw}Have Fun!
I woke up this morning not feeling as serious as I usually do..do my meditation...gotta get this done, gotta do that...I will say it's all a big drag (being so serious). So I vowed to myself, Yes, life is serious, but it's not that serious. I mean I basically have been a serious person all of my life. Can you imagine being a little 3 year old girl, being serious? The situation and the circumstances called for me to be serious then but now I'm grown and the situation has changed so I just want to have fun with life. Now I hope you are not as stuck on serious as I was. If you are then, know that Life is serious, just not that serious. We can Live, Love, Laugh in a way that soothes our souls and gives us time to stand in awe of all the beauty that we are able to sense in the moment. Complex creatures that we are. It's the lighter moments that open up our consciousness to give us grace. That being said let's see what we can get into today!
It would truly have a greater impact if you saw it on a model. This little number is available at the French Connection. I think it is too cute. It's called the "Daisy Beads Dress." Available in two additional colors. It comes with a scoop neck tank style with a sequin design on front. And it comes to mid thigh. I'm thinking that could be fun!
I definitely have quite a few pairs of shoes that will go with dress. This dress has a Bohemian feel to it. You'd probably enjoy this one better on a model too. It's a great choice though. This dress is from the French Connection also. It's called the "Bex Beads Dress." It has long sleeves, puff sleeves, sheer sleeve, lined bodice, sequin design at neck, and it hits mid thigh. It's silk.
What a fun little blouse! Serious but not too serious! You could wear this to work with the proper undergarments and maybe a light jacket.
By Roberto Cavalli for Just Cavalli. The blouse is called their "Bow Blouse." It's 100% cotton. It has a sweetheart neckline with long ties in front and ruffle trim over each shoulder. It comes in white. Available at Roberto Cavalli, Nordstrom, e-luxury and other fine retailers.
This little blouse could also do double duty worn with a nice little jacket or blazer in the day and by itself at night. Made by Fendi, it's called their "Sleeveless Petal Blouse." The blouse is 100% silk. It has a round neckline and it's sleeveless. It has paneled petal-like silk patches that decorate the blouse. How cute is that? It comes in one color: "Toffee"
It's available at Fendi, e-luxury, and other fine retailers.

Wearable Paper Couture
Jennifer Collier is a British fashion designer who creates paper fashion collections. She has created a group of carefully crafted garments and accessories from bits of paper, plastic and assorted recyclable objects and materials. These disposable materials are then transformed into transient, fleeting works of art. I create innovative textiles and craft pieces using natural and found materials. Through methods of weaving, waxing, trapping, embedding and stitching I create unusual materials, which are then developed into garments and accessories. I often utilise plastics, papers and fabrics into my pieces. The works have the power to communicate ideas about recycling, as well as themes exploring the body. My work is 
often inspired by literature. The work is non-functional and aims to encourage people to speculate on the nature of value. I enjoy the idea of working with disposable organic materials that are transient in nature, imbuing them with worth and creating something intriguing and of great beauty. "If you woke up this morning with more health then illness, you are more blessed than the millions who will not survive the week. If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank or in your wallet you are among the top 8 percent of the worlds wealthy. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not."---Anonymous

Christian Louboutin Fetish Shoes
These incredibly bizarre Christian Louboutin stilettos like they would leave the wearer in absolute agony, but that’s part of the point. They’re part of the Fetish exhibit at the Galerie du Passage in Paris.
Going on point is one of the most difficult parts of formal ballet training, and while these make it easier to stay on your tip-toes, taking the strain off your toes, they’d likely torture other muscles instead.
Would walking in these even be possible? I don’t think it matters, the wearer probably wouldn’t be standing long anyway! You know what? I am going to sit this one out and let CL do his thing! Absolutely No Comment!

Celebrity Fashion Robots - Gwyneth Paltrow In Vogue
The intrigue with futurism and robots has permeated the fashion industry, with space-inspired styles supplementing the growing integration of robots and smart technologies in our daily lives.
Labels like Diesel have captured these elements in futuristic photoshoots, but to further solidify the movement and take it to the next level—potentially pushing mainstream—top tier sartorial magazines are capturing celebrities in galactic wardrobes. 
In a shoot by Steven Klein, Gwyneth Paltrow posed in a bikini for Vogue with slicked back hair and smoky eyes that would have made for a beautiful, yet ordinary, editorial spread, but the fashion magazine dared to awe by transforming her right arm into a robotic aparatus.
The shoot was meant to promote her new movie, Iron Man, but it worked as so much more. In addition to adding something unconventional yet cutting edge in terms of fashion, it was also a clever way to accentuate the muscle tone in her body without making it about sexual objectification.

Magical Glass Concept - Tablet Tells You About What You See
I instantly fell in love with this concept. Imagine having a magical glass with you that you can use to obtain information about anything you see.
The thin ultra-connected tablet device by Japanese Mac Funamizu doesn’t have a name yet, but it really is like a magical glass, a window to the world. You look through the glass, choose any object you want, and you can instantly access a multitude of information about it.
You can use it when you want to know a car model, an insect name, what kind of food is served at a restaurant and how much it costs, who built a bridge, etc. etc. Choose a building or a monument and it brings you details of the location and features of the area. 
You can use it to check the meaning of a word in the newspaper, book, magazine, etc. You can opt for a dictionary, wikipedia, thesaurus and anything else available on the web. 
Imagine having this device when you are on vacation or a trip. Such an exciting way to explore new places. Now that's what I'm talking about! Instant Education!
"All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own."--– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Mother's Day
Aaahhh! What a joy! The day of the year when all I have to do is BE. I don't even have to shop for anything cause that's done for me. It's funny though, I like getting gifts don't get me wrong but the gift I enjoyed the most was a flower pot my daughter made for me when she was in grade school. Knowing that it was her little hands that made it and knowing it was so important that she brought it to me in one piece makes it even more precious! She may rag on me for keeping pens and pencils in it, (Not a plant) but I don't think she took the time to realize I STILL HAVE IT and it's more precious to me than gold. And I swear to you if she keeps talking about it I am going to remind her exactly what grade she was in when she made it! Now on to shopping! I saw quite a few new items today. Let's go check them out!
