Sliding into Style... 50 years of Fashion and Baseball

50 Years of Fashion and 50 years of Baseball.

Who knew that the New York Mets had anything in common with the rising stars of the fashion world? This year marks the 50^th anniversary of both The New York Mets and The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).

In celebration of their success, they decided to collaborate in a 50^th anniversary celebration. Starting July 24^th, you can purchase pieces from the mini collection of Mets inspired apparel, designed from members of the CFDA, at Citifield. Those designers for this collection are: Billy Reid, Yigal Azrouel, Rogan Gregory & Scott Haan (from Loomstate) and Jeff Halmos (from Shipley and Halmos).

Nothing is sexier than Sunscreen!

So this summer, what are you wearing?

What ever you wear, make sure that you have the best accessory you can carry with you: Sunscreen. Although that tan may make you look sexy, the effect of the golden brown skin may not have the results you wanted. Even with darker skinned individuals, sunscreen should be apart of your every day regimen.

For years, in fashion, we said “brown is beautiful”  but with recent awareness on our environmental changes and cancer developments, we have been shown what the sun can really do to our bodies and earth.

How "Green" is your fashion?

Going Green in the Fashion Industry

“The Touch, the feel of cotton; the fabric of our lives.”  These are the words you hear in TV ads for the cotton industry. So my question is: “what about organic cotton?” Cotton is a natural fiber, so isn’t all cotton organic?
     Merriam-Webster dictionary defines organic: ”a (1) : of, relating to, or derived from living organisms (2) : relating to, yielding, dealing in, or involving the use of food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides <organic stores> “   

            Many of us have a heighten awareness of what “organic” means when it comes to our food, but what about our clothing? Often times, when you are shopping in stores, you will see labels with “certified organic” and you think you are doing something good for you and the environment, but it can be misleading.
