Reduce.  Reuse.  Recycle.  Three words that everyone should live by, and just because this is Earth Month.  

Yes, I’ll admit it, I’m a hippie, albeit, a materialistic one, but a hippie nonetheless.  So I was ecstatic to hear that Origins has launched a recycling program.  You can bring in any clean, empty cosmetics container – regardless of the brand – to any Origins counter, save for the ones at Nordstroms, and stand-alone stores.  All of the returned packages will be recycled or used for energy recovery.  And as a bonus, you’ll get a free sample of Origins skin care whenever you drop off a container.

Kate Moss showed off her signature style whilst attending the dinner celebrating the opening of the first American Topshop.  The supermodel wore a chiffon print Topshop dress with dark tights, a tuxedo jacket, and YSL platforms.  The look is very Kate Moss and very easy to replicate – in fact I wore that look the other day, perhaps that’s why I’m a fan of the ensemble.

I’m loving the fresh, neutral look that 90210‘s Jessica Stroup wore to the Origins recycling program launch.  It’s so refreshing.  Very appropriate for spring.  She kept everything simple – the outfit (Brian Reyes), the makeup, the accessories (Jimmy Choos and a gold bangle).
