Line Dry your Clothes!

POSTED BY Lindsey Chen, 27 June 2008 | PERMALINK

Did you know that besides the refrigerator, the dryer is the most household user of electricity? Ok so, it's not like you can unplug your fridge for a few hours everyday to save on money and electricity, but what you can do it NOT USE YOUR DRYER! You may be thinking, why would I do that? A dryer makes the clothes so fluffy and it's way faster than hanging your clothes! But, there are way more...

I keep a folder on my computer entitled ‘inspiration’ and here I save a variety of images ranging from pretty items, diy ideas, magazine editorials, a ton of street style shots and the like.

Interview with Cosette Cornelius-Bates!

POSTED BY Lee Meredith, 25 June 2008 | PERMALINK

 

 

I'm so excited about the release of Knit One, Embellish Too by Cosette Cornelius-Bates (aka Cosy), having been an admirer of her work through her blog for awhile now. Cosy is an amazing accessory designer/knitter, and yarn recycler and spinner.

Hey guys! It's great to be back and posting after my summer vacation, and, without further ado, here are my top five street style picks from the last two weeks:

 

 

Both these women sport truly wearable looks with some really excellent details. The outfit on the left (from a June 18 post at Stilinberlin) is incredibly basic - I can imagine that black dress styled a million different ways...
