We're Only Gonna Die


I'm really glad I work (er, 'intern') in very casual place, where nobody looks at me weird for wearing newspaper skirts, latex leggings and a piece of fabric twice the size of my body that I paid way too much money for.

One of my core environmental problem solving courses this semester is all about bottled water and we had a guest lecture by corporate representatives from Nestle and the Canadian Bottled Water Association. Though it didn't really change my overall negative opinion on bottled water itself, it was nice to see 'both sides of the story'. I don't know why I just told you that.

I love newspaper-print things. I have a sweater, a jacket and (shhh) some undies!

Morgan said...

Is that the circle scarf from American Apparel ?
I'm pretty sure it is.
I have it in Navy, and I just ordered it in grey. I love it !

Oh, and congrats on the mention on Teen Vogue. You really are deserving, I've been following your blog before I ever even made one myself.

i agree, that skirt is the shizz

i never really thought much about the negative aspects of bottled water until my economics teacher highlighted it. i think the funniest thing, is people who pay for the 'pure, moutain spring distilled ionised H20' kind

Your skirt is really excllent. I shamefully admit I am a bit of a water bottle fiend, our tap water is so very chrolrinated and I do prefer the fresher taste of evian-I bet this makes me sound like those ignorant bottle water drinkers you try and stop. I will make a proper effort to refrigerate my tap water this week in order to save the planet.
Hope
