This week's dose courtesy of Joni, who hails from my second hometown Atlanta and has the coolest job I've ever heard of. If I wasn't so busy persuading the world to be a bit more thoughtful, classic, and "green" I'd probably be molding peeps one by one.

She'd always giggle when momma teased daddy every morning, "want some coffee in your sugar dear?" Wonder if daddy would laugh now, knowing a bucket load of sugar is the least of our worries. Now there's eel anus, arsenic, and antifreeze in a sweet pint of ice cream. What a knee slapper.

Allot has been weighing on my mind as of late thanks to the ever-disappointing mass market fashion industry rearing its Medusa head time and again. And while I will be devoting my entire weekend to peeling back the layers of the little ethical choices we do have left, it goes without saying that ... when in doubt, thrift!

I am so hopelessly infatuated with a few new blog discoveries this month that trying to embark on soaking up all the intelligent prose, cultural perspectives, and tasteful curations are more rewardingly distracting than sifting through eBay all night for ACNE in my size or Givenchy for less than $500 (which is like finding the gosh damn loch ness monster).

While lazily perusing through the archives of some of my daily blog reads, I came across Joy expressing her delight with Giambasta Valli's consistency and quiet elegance, but that she too feels haute couture is a dying art form making a mockery of its former glorious self with the likes of Lindsay Lohan designing for Emanuel Ungaro among other inexcusable marketing efforts, and that while</atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/WTaKd/~3/Gm8sKRlSpUQ/on-topic-of-attainable-couture-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Letitia - The Fashion Editor)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DetrP_Gu7Pw/UZT0FpuKkmI/AAAAAAAAAmg/qOsPi2SU1Q4/s72-c/couturedanishfashion.jpeg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>11</thr:total><description>&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/WTaKd/~4/Gm8sKRlSpUQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><feedburner:origLink>http://becominglola.blogspot.com/2013/05/on-topic-of-attainable-couture-for.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494391760644922517.post-3029539283335200954</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2013 14:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-17T20:55:37.274-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal style</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">sustainable fashion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">couture designers</category><title>modern haute couture more sustainable than ready to wear fashion?</title><atom:summary>

I'm already two weeks into my wardrobe culling for the minimalist French wardrobe project, and that means one man's trash can be another man's treasure. Clearly we're talking about me, the pragmatic former utilitarian-minded fashion editor, and you, the Kate Moss inspired blog reader. If you like basics, and you like them built to last, then my closet is your ideal perusal.

Hi. My name is Letitia. I'm a classics addict. (Now everyone unanimously say Hi Letitia! or this doesn't work). Ah, and if you don't remember, I also completely lose myself in anything Parisian, French, or Francophiliac (&lt;-- invented word) as you can see here.

Here is a story about a girl no different than you and me. A girl who hibernated in a thicket of winter’s grey frigid days, fervently waiting for the Spring sun to arise. A sun so illuminated and tepid that each day became a chance to escape in the wanderlust fantasies that plagued her mind in seasons past.

There's something about trends that are inexplicably lost on me, and being a fashion editor I find the irony to be alarming. Without fail, a slew of new prevailing tendencies emerge from the catwalks of my hometown, and Paris, and Melbourne, and London, and of course Africa and Brazil are never too far behind.

Let's talk about heels for a second. When did your love start? Not with the guy, with the HEELS. For me, that is overly simple to answer. Since my mom is not Diana Ross, and there was no Pandora's box of sumptuous leathers, spunky sequins, or strappy Manolos...I simply resorted to adopting Sarah Jessica Parker as my unbeknownst-to-her mother. Perhaps there was a heel or two beforehand.

Okay I have a bit of a rave rant. Ever get the feeling that models on the street take their job too seriously? Sashaying down the avenue in a head to toe runway look, as if being a clothes hanger 9-5 wasn't enough.

to buy, or not to buy...that is the question! what do you think dolls, do these fiercely fabulous shoes look like a must-have or a trendy wardrobe fling? this is what I'll be wondering over the weekend. that, and whether or not I should cheat on my detox cleanse with dark chocolate.



what are your weekend plans?
