Valentines day is over but sexy times is year round.

Coco de Mer is one of my favorite stores in LA and they’re having a sale starting this week and it’s not to be missed.  This might be the time for me to pick up that sustainable rubberwood paddle I’ve been wanting.

Oh god!  I just went on the website to pull some pictures and I found my new obsession.  A jade cock ring!!!  To be worn as a bracelet, of course. ;  )

One good thing about living in the shopping district of Melrose and Fairfax is the shopping.  Most of the shops are pretty pricey but I can always count on finding something cheap and chic when visiting MJ.

My latest find was a bright yellow reusable shopping bag for $9 and a small clutch made from recycled plastic for $14.  Win!

Gucci’s Signature Stripe Just Got Cooler. And Greener

I never thought I would see this day but now that it’s here, let’s join arms in an interlocking G formation.

Gucci has joined forces with the Rainforest Action Network and decided to stop using paper from Indonesian rainforests and plantations as well as avoiding the suppliers Asia Pulp and Paper.

“Standing rainforests are not a luxury, they’re a necessity if the world wants to stop climate change,” said Mimma Viglezio, executive VP for global communications. “Our actions are lowering our own carbon footprint, but we hope that they will also raise awareness inside the fashion industry that it’s possible for our industry to make a difference for rainforests and for the climate.”

With this policy, they are ensuring that all paper categories used by the group, from printing paper to shopping bags, do not come from endangered forests.

The Gucci Group also owns Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen so this small change is going to make a HUGE difference.

I would be more than happy to be seen doing my a.m. walk of shame in these. What? Don’t judge! At least they’re %100 cruelty-free!

Terracycle Wants Your Wrappers

Todays theme in my posts: junk food. Bad for us, but we still eat them.

I check in with Terracycle from time to time to see what new recycled wrapper products they’ve come up with.

I loved flying kites when I was a kid. And I also loved Oreo cookies dipped in milk. Now, not so much. But this kite made from recycled wrappers for the low price of $5.99 is pretty slick.

The holidays are less than 100 days away and although my Candy Spelling manic wrapping days are over, sometimes a bow on a plain box or bag adds just the right touch.

Go to Terracycle to find out which retail locations carry their products or join their online brigades to raise money from your wrappers to donate to a charity or your favorite school.

My Hello Kitty days ended a long time ago and I probably wouldn’t want to advertise my guilty pleasure of the occasional Diet Coke around my neck but I have to admit these necklaces upcycled from trashed sodie pop cans are cute.

All under $5 at the Funky Recycling Etsy shop.

Here is the long awaited Maria Menounos story I styled for Coco Eco Magazine. There were so many good things about this shoot. Maria was an absolute sweetheart to work with and all of the amazing eco-lines we used fit her like a glove (a stylists dream). We shot in the beautiful, solar powered Marrakesh House and had an electric powered, bright orange Tesla delivered specifically for the shoot.

Happy 1st Anniversary Coco Eco mag!

Check out Cocoecomag.com for the rest of the shots and the inside scoop on TV’s green “it” girl.
