Friend Friday: All Natural

I know, I know… it’s Saturday! I was having some technical difficulties on Friday that kept me from posting this video on time.  All I can say is “better late than never!”.   This week’s Modly Chic’s Friend Friday discussion is veering more toward the beauty side of things and talking about the growing trend of going all natural by eliminating shampoos, soaps, deodorant, etc…

In case you missed it, the New York Times recently ran an article entitled The Great Unwashed, that sheds some light on this growing trend. Watch my short, 8-minute video to hear my thoughts on the matter and also get some tips on natural products that I use in my own beauty regimen.

Closet Confection: When It Rains, It Pours

2010_1104_outfit3

When: Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Jacket ($60 French Connection via Loehmann’s), dress ($50 Marc Jacobs via Century 21), boots ($100 Givenchy via eBay), umbrella (Missoni via Century 21)

So this post is a little out of order (I’m doing Wednesday’s outfit tomorrow), but it finally rained hard enough for me to show off my new rain boots, and I just couldn’t wait until tomorrow to share.

A friend of mine got them last year, and I’ve been coveting them ever since. Unfortunately, they were sold out everywhere at the time.  Being the determined ebay ninja that I am, I finally spotted a pair in my size (at a significant discount), and the rest is history!

I love them so much that I want to make a movie about them…

However, I’d probably be the only one in the audience.  Kind of like that time I saw Cable Guy…
