I’m a huge supporter of digital magazines. Now, V Magazine has gone digital! I first subscribed to NYLON’s digital magazines because it was cheaper, and easier to read at work (haha). Why go digital? Firstly, it’s about saving paper and going green. Next, you can easily capture screen and blog about it (that’s a plus for me). And finally, you get to read it at your convenience and also, you can find pages in an instant minus the paper cuts!
Are you reading V?
Fash-E was at Raffles City today (actually, I was there yesterday too) to check out the Greenpeas Eco Bazaar. Cassie Yang, our local distributor for Dopie sandals and Terra Plana shoes messaged me yesterday regarding this event - unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet up today. Terra Plana shoes are sooo comfortable -according to Moe Moe. I was amazed at how good Logo, bamboo fibre clothing felt! If you happen to be at City Hall, do drop by the event held at the basement beside Gloria Jeans Coffee:
Natalie Portman: Beautiful, talented actress (not to mentioned, Oscar-nominated), Harvard Grad, style icon and now, eco-evangelist. What can you not to like about this amazing woman? I envy her because my boyfriend thinks she’s gorgeous - but I approve his excellent taste. Better Natalie, than Pamela Anderson.
Yesterday, Miss Portman launched her virgin line of limited edition ‘vegan shoes’. Te Casan’s values listed “Every human being is a limited edition. We offer every woman the possibility to express herself in her own way – through limited edition shoes.”
As a proud, enterprising Vegan, Natalie said, “As a vegan, it’s been challenging finding designer shoes made of alternative materials. This collection offers a great selection without compromising quality or style.”
But hey, there’s a catch: Her shoes cost between a whopping range of USD$255 to USD$275! Ouch, talk about feeling the pinch in your pocket. Why being eco-friendly comes with such a high price-tag? It’s like paying the extra dollar for organic food, and vegan products.
Her shoes are now ready for pre-order for you crazy fashionistas out there. I’m sticking to my “McDonald’s” of shoes, thank you.
VF is back and now, as Crocs converts! Yes, we’re won over by that formerly known as “fugly rubber thing with holes” when Crocs presented their new range of Prima ballet slip-on pumps.It’s perfect for the rainy day (considering it has been raining religiously for the past few days, dammit). It is slim-fitted, ballet-inspired and V. COMFY. Your cheaper, rain-friendly alternative to the beloved Birkenstocks.
Apparently, Crocs are comfortable, cool and molds to foot. It has an orthotic foot bed, anti microbial and odor resistant - what is more versatile than that? Crocs Prima retails at $47.20. Shockingly, I’ve already gotten myself a pair of silver Primas. Sue me. HAHA.
Attention treehuggers! Would you fancy carrying this lovely clutch bag made from 100% recycled candy wrappers? If yes, click on Ecoist whose aim is to create fashion accessories for the eco-minded consumers. I think there is nothing hippier than eco-uture! Ponder about the many trees that we can “save” and recycle into something pretty. Just make sure you don’t get “paper cuts” - haha.
hehes. i wish i had nicer legs to wear them with.
