I have a really bad habit of just tossing my sunglasses into my purse when I’m through wearing them. And I can’t tell you how many pairs have been laid to rest because of a scratch dead center of a lens. I bet one of these Roxy Marj Pouches might give me a good incentive to clean up my act.

Two great reasons to get your own GoodLife Key Tag:

2. It will feel like you’re on vacation every time you walk in your front door.

That quality of sleek sophistication that makes others stop and take notice, things that you’ll hang onto for years to come. The thing is, there are different ways to define luxury. Maybe it’s the ubiquitous form-fitting LBD, or an outfit that makes you feel so much like yourself that you don’t ever want to take it off. Perhaps something you love so much you take it with you everywhere. I’ve created a few looks inspired by something equally sleek and luxurious – the HP Spectre XT Touchsmart Ultrabook™. What’s your idea of luxury?

The Genet Scarf

See that beautiful, graphic scarf up there? It was woven by a former sex worker named Genet. She lives in Ethiopia and has been counseled, trained and employed by FashionABLE, an incredible for-benefit company based out of Nashville. The Genet scarf was designed by my friend, Janette (different spelling, same name!), who won the vote of 600 Alt Summit attendees in January to have her design produced in a limited-edition for delivery by Mother’s Day. Today and tomorrow the scarf is available for pre-order through the ONE Campaign and FashionABLE. The more scarves sold, the more lives we can change!

I would be foot-stomping mad if I owned a pair of Shwood‘s limited edition stone framed glasses and lost them. As I tend to do. These beauties are made by fusing slate with birch wood and are available in white and black in the Canby and Belmont styles.

Hellooooo, Spring! As much as I love winter, it’s always nice to see buds on the mystery tree in my front yard and the perennials in my flower bed popping up for another year. Later this week the temps are supposed to drop again, spring you’re just so fickle! That means my day-to-day wardrobe will be full of pieces that are great for layering and stripping off, here are a few I’ve got my eye on…
