ONE SHOULDER WONDERS
by Bonny Osterhage
Giving someone the cold shoulder is never a good thing — unless you do it wearing one of these stunning one-shoulder creations. One of spring's hottest eco fashion trends is nothing to shrug off. An asymmetrical line, such as this, is slimming, elongates the neck and, let’s face it, if you want to draw attention from other less flattering areas, showing a sexy toned shoulder is the way to do it. Take our word for it — giving the cold shoulder has never looked so good!
Beau Soleil "Beau Guard"
Heads will turn and jaws will drop when you walk in wearing this slinky, sexy bamboo dress from Beau Soleil.

HORNY TOAD BRINGS THE POWER OF 9
“If I had a dollar for every time I’ve…” Well now you can — nine of them to be exact — with Horny Toad’s “9 in 09” spring campaign. We know, we know, the satisfaction that comes from doing good deeds should be reward enough, but admit it…getting cool stuff isn’t bad either…especially when that stuff is “Toad Bucks” that you can use to outfit yourself from head to toe in some of the coolest eco friendly clothes around.
Leave it to the Toads to once again think outside the box and find fresh, fun ways to inspire others on their mission to do the right thing. The way it works is simple: First, select a cause from the list of nine at www.hornytoad.com. After you have contributed to your selected cause (or causes), share your story online and receive $9 in Toad Bucks. That’s it — no catch!
On the 9th and 19th of each month, the Toad powers that be will draw the name of a participant who will be awarded a $99 Horny Toad gift certificate. A grand prize of a $999 gift certificate will be drawn on April 29.
Just think — you can be rewarded for doing something as simple as riding your bike to work, bringing your own bag when you go shopping, or going on a hike with a friend. No effort is too small and all the causes work together to support the Toad’s one big cause: making the world a better place. Now that’s a cause worth fighting for!
SO HOT! — GO "GOLD TIE"
Whimsical jewelry is one of our favorite things and statement jewelry is definitely “of the moment.” So, not only is the Filagree Bow Necklace from VerdeRocks a bold statement, but it’s also absolutely fun and adorable. Made from vintage components, we actually like it worn casually with, perhaps, a v-neck tee and jeans, but it would also be a hit with a little black dress for a night out. $69 at www.verderocks.com
