Cute and Easy Ways to Repurpose Your Fashion Throw-Aways

by

You don’t have to start an organic cotton farm in your backyard to do your part in making fashion more sustainable. In honor of Earth Day, we put together an illustrated guide to making your home—and life!–a little more green. With minimal tools and money spent, these crafty eco-friendly solutions are easy to assemble, pretty to look at, and kind to Mama Earth. Oh—and you definitely don’t need a garden to get these guys growing. We all live in NYC and, yeah, we are not living that garden lifestyle.

Broke and the City: Beauty Treatments From Household Items

Broke and the City: Beauty Treatments From Household Items

by Mickie Meinhardt and Sarah Ferguson

One of the most irksome parts of trying to get by on little money is that inevitable time when you run out of a necessary beauty item. Buying another is more of a need than a want but it’s like a pin in your side to have to shell out precious dollars on shampoo or mascara, especially if you share our opinion that it’s better to splurge on a few nicer beauty products that you’ll use every day rather than on an expensive article of clothing that gets much less wear.

However, while some beauty products are worth shelling out for, many others you can easily make at home for little to no money. Raiding the cupboards or local bodegas can be surprisingly fruitful and yields results identical to those of pricey packaged products. Here, we’ve compiled a how-to of basic at-home treatments ranging from hair conditioners to teeth whitening.

DIY: We Made a Fashionista Tee At the Topshop Bus Stop and Now So Can You

by

Last Spring, a tricked-out Topshop truck showered the city with gift cards and tote bags in anticipation of the store’s opening. Since this Wednesday, the same truck has been on a promotional tour around the city. We wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so we decided to, quite literally, get our hands dirty and head over to McCarren Park in Billyburg for Day 3.

What we found was a full-on t-shirt customization workshop, so we grabbed a free tee, and with some help and inspiration from a few well-dressed Topshop employees, gave it a full-on Fashionista makeover. While ours was certainly not the most intricate or detailed, it was pretty easy to make and we are proud of it, so here are some step-by-step instructions in case you want to make your own!

Fashion Is Fun

Legoland

by

When we were younger, we loved Legos. Making little towns could entertain us for hours– or until our Barbie showed up and totally towered over her supposed home. And we think that these Jean-Charles de Castelbajac customizable Lego sunglasses that we found on Dazed Digital, are too funny. The sunglasses are available in red, white, Read more →
