Let the fashion games begin!!!
My first event of a long evening began with the best event ever: ModCloth and Swap.com ‘s Blogger Swap. I love clothing swaps. I love ModCloth. Together in one space, my night was made. I was part of the original SwapTeam and they are the most eco-friendly way to reinvent your wardrobe. I certainly lucked out that night. Ladies were asked to bring two items to swap. We got to choose one ModCloth item and then swap among the other options brought by an array of other blogger fashionistas.
Jack by BB Dakota Rebel Yell Jacket :: $65.00 ::
My goodies included a faux leather ::aka vegan friendly:: Jack by BB Dakota Rebel Yell Jacket ::picture above and available at
modcloth.com for $65:: I love everything about this jacket. It is all in the details from the bronze like buckled sides, asymmetrical front zipper, seamed elbows, and detachable, grey, sweatshirt hood. Now the most versatile piece in my closet as you can dress it up or down.

I ran around NYC looking for an event that would satisfy my sustainable craving and it was an epic fail. That is until I reached Sustainable Fashion Night Out hosted by Textile Arts Center in Manhattan, EcoSalon, Of Rags, and the NYC Fair Trade Coalition.
Sustainable designers sold their wares, while I overindulged in Gone Pie‘s vegan apple bars and a glass of wine. Designers included: Arcadia, Global Goods Partners, Tompkins Point Apparel, Digs, Of Rags, A.D.O Organics, Afia, Feral Childe, Wool and the Gang, Erin Considine, Shabd, and Kaelyn Garcia. An array of dresses, accessories, shoes and more were displayed. There were also interactive displays that chart the flow of clothing in the global marketplace
While I appreciate the aesthetics, treats, and thankfully discovered the Textile Arts Center, a more diverse palette of attendees and designers is definitely welcomed for future events.

The word touché is from the French from verb “toucher” to touch. It also means an acknowledgment of a hit (usually in fencing). I started Touché Tuesdays to highlight pieces, people, and places that are touching and/or a hit.
Dolci Nocciola Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce :: $12.00
Today I bring you foodgasm in jar. And it’s vegan! This is an informal introduction to Dolci Nocciola Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce from Bella Cucina. Think couture Nutella but even better. It is decadent and smooth Belgian chocolate with roasted hazelnuts ; rich and subtle notes of Espresso highlight this chocolate symphony. So far, I’ve used it on coconut milk ice cream, on biscuits, waffles, and licked it from a spoon. A little bit goes a long way. If you don’t watch it though, your jar will be empty in a week. I’ve personally paced my use and still have half left. You can also find Dolci at Dean and Deluca, Eataly in NY, or purchase online.
angelrox chocolate bamboo wrap :: $158.00
I meet designer Roxi Suger in 2002/3 when we were both starting out in the fashion world. She was a new designer and I was an co-editor and curator one of the first online e-zines. I had the pleasure of running into her after years at a show and see we are now on the same path of eco-friendliness and sustainability.
Wraps and the “I can wear it 10,000 ways” dress were heavy in the fashion market last summer. AngelRox makes this versatile ware sustainably focused by using bamboo. There are so many creative ways they have come up with to wear them from dresses to outfit accents and in a multitude of colors. Check out AngelRox.com to see her full line.
