look good while saving the planet
What I love the most about the GreenAid is not the play on words of this nifty little piece of design: It's the functionality. Eco bags have become a crazy cottage industry, but few actually do more than be a mess when they're not filled with product. This one tucks into its soft grenade and hooks onto a belt loop or bag strap when you're walking to the market.

Create beauty, not war. We just got these porcelain vases in store. A hidden feature is the peace sign at the base. Even empty, the piece is striking.
Earth--or at least Planet L.A.--is burning up, so nothing beats this ingenious little ice maker-ice chiller combined. Also love that the Ice Orb doesn't take up a lot of space in a fridge already crammed with Andy's stock-up of fileted eels and buffalo burgers.

Color Me Lacroix
If the high-octane exuberance of Christian Lacroix didn’t live up to his past efforts with his Spring 2009 couture presentation, there was still plenty of magic. The program notes for the afternoon show titled “The Designs of her Nature” broke down in terms that both rebelled against and recognized the bleak world outside the Centre Pompidou, where the show was held last week.

Lady Lacroix might be “fastened, caught” even “wavering” in this newly sober time. But she remains a bit “untied” and “mischievous” as ever. In Mr. Lacroix’s idiom, this doesn’t simply mean a Crayola super box of unexpected colors and combinations.
(My favorite)
It’s also piles of the widest bangles, with the odd floral or coral wreath spiking out; sparkling, plate-sized flamenco hoops; and braided crowns of pink and blue hair. The essence was unmistakable: The world might be gray, but that’s no reason to look it. Time to get out the costume jewelry and play dress up to the hilt.
It's all on the wrist.
