Pocketflops Foldable Flip Flops: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 04:50:22 PDT

We live in a busy world, so investing in convenient pieces is a plus. But the trick is to find convenient pieces that don't sacrifice good taste. They're sometimes hard to come by. What do you think: Are these Flock Designs Pocketflop Foldable Flip Flops ($22 each) cute? They come in all sorts of prints and colors - zebra, purple, argyle, paisley - and the fact that they fold in half is way cool. Even cooler, they're made of recycled tire rubber, and the storage bags are made from 100% organic cotton. You can throw one in your bag wherever you go, just in case of any shoe emergencies. Would you get a pair?

There are many fashion layers to the fabulous Emma Watson. Of course, we love her as the face of Burberry, but we also enjoy seeing her eco-conscious side. Since we first announced her collaboration with organic line People Tree, we couldn't wait to see what the British beauty would come up with. Well, the wait is over, and we're officially smitten with her cute collection - modeled by the designer herself - of skinny jeans, striped tops, chic shorts, and flirty frocks. I love the timeless hues of red, gray, white, and blue, and the casual yet refined silhouettes. I can totally see myself rockin' these organic looks, can you?

On Our Radar: Tobi Loves Ugly Boxes

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:00:22 PDT

One of my favorite online retailers, Tobi, is making a loud and proud declaration: It loves an ugly box! In order to stop adding more waste into the environment, it has decided to start reusing all the boxes it receives on a daily basis. A brand new box may look prettier, but Tobi believes it's what's inside that counts. So next time you order something from the retailer, the box you get may be ugly, but what's inside is going to be anything but.
