My brother, Alex, who has been getting me more and more interested in sustainability was recently asking me about eco-friendly designers that I may have known from my school. Although I couldn't pinpoint any specifically, I continued the search to stumble upon thousands of businesses in Philadelphia who are currently vamping their businesses to a more sustainable approach. Whether in fashion, food, or free giveaways for the less fortunate, Philadelphia is ON THE GO with green. Want in on it? Here are some links to find out about what's getting it on green style in the area: http://www.greenfestphilly.org/features/exhibits.php

On the not of things green, enjoy the day today. Put on something flowly. Frolic with friends. And always smile. If it feels right, wear it. Without a care of what the neighbors will say, do cartwheels in the front of the house. Play hopscotch.

DO SOMETHING.

Let the sun soak up the stress.

G'day, all.

Someone asked me why I haven't been keeping up my blog lately.

I replied that, "I guess I've been pretty busy and distracted."

That was a lame excuse.

The past few days I've worn probably the darkest make-up that I've ever applied to my face in my life. Sometimes I feel that even when we're feeling outside of ourselves, we don't necessarily need to play up our looks. I realized that I inadvertently pinned my hair in all directions atop my head today, which mimicked the tizzy that was occurring inside of it. I was wearing lots of layers- even more than normal- because I didn't want to be exposed. What we think about, we tend to bring about. I reflected my mood outwardly, and therefore allowed it to permeate throughout the essence of my entire day. It's amazing that my my mind is like a magician. I have the ability to create whatever I want, yet sometimes I trick myself and let the negative things set in and have a ping-pong tournament with myself. What's that about?

Diane Von Furstenburg's MONTRA OF THE MONTH

"You are always with yourself so enjoy the company."

Today, after modeling some of the senior's beautiful clothes from their collections, I tried to envision my own designs laying elegantly over another's body. Who will appreciate what I have to share?

Have you ever told your teacher that your cat ate your homework? Ask Lizz about it.

May this be a good night. May the universe correspond the nature of your song.
