KEEP YOUR SHIRT DRESS ON!
The Shirt Dress is One of Spring’s Most Versatile Pieces
By Bonny Osterhage
Every few years, the shirt dress experiences a return to the fashion forefront. We think that is because few other items are as versatile, especially during those tricky transitional months. Depending on the fabric, and your choice of accessories, the shirtdress can be preppy, sexy, or even a little edgy. Don’t believe one dress can be all things to all people? Check out these eco fashion finds and see for yourself !
SERIOUSLY?!
Something’s Fishy in Metropolis!
Who says you can’t take a fish for a walk? Certainly not Michal Shabtiali, the genius behind this ridiculous portable fishbowl. The shatterproof bowl is designed with a handle for those times when you need to take Goldie out on the town. Okay — Seriously?! Why on earth would anyone want to do this? You might as well announce to the world that you have no one else to hang out with! And, think of the poor fish with all that jostling around. What if you have to run to hail a cab? Let’s leave the quality outdoor pet walks to our four footed friends and let the fish swim in peace. Since we cannot find a place that sells this brilliant contraption, we are guessing that others agree!
