Hemp for Victory

hemp denim pencil skirtHemp denim and coconut buttons? Sounds like something Mary Ann whipped up on "Gilligan's Island" — this hemp pencil skirt was handmade by enterprising Moroccan women through ethical clothier Amana. They train, pay fare wages and ensure ethical working conditions to their artisans for creating clothing made from organic and natural materials. (£50/$68)

It's got a hoodie, cap sleeves, arm darts, built in belt, sewn in seams, kangaroo pockets and a wonderful cuff on the hem of the short. Not to mention the golden zipper which goes allll the way down! Whew! Fly Girl rocks it with a tank, sneakers, Louis Vuitton and gold jewelry. Glam J. Lo takes it to the yacht with a Chanel beachtowel, metallic bikini, platform espadrilles, and Tom Ford sunglasses.

My Humps

high-waisted denim dungareesRemember on those rare occasions when Daisy Dukes wore jeans instead of her signature cootchie cutters? Those rump huggers looked something like these super flare high-waisted denim dungarees. "They" say that skinny jeans are in, and bellbottoms went out with the last episode of That 70s Show. Never one to follow the trends, this pair will be near the top of my wishlist until I can come up with the $198 needed to make them all mine.
