I know it is the worst thing in the world to seemingly tacitly dismiss the last 10+ years of her life, but here goes: Alicia Silverstone still looks EXACTLY like Cher from Clueless! We were squished together at the end of a bench at a vegan lunch for her new line of cosmetics bags for Ecotools. She was in red Stella McCartney, a dress that totally channeled the scene where Cher gets mugged wearing Alaia in a valley parking lot (An Officially Iconic Fashion Moment in Cinema, P.S.).
... there was, in my sleepy little town that Silicon Valley was to someday fabulize, Town & Country Village. It had a fancy grocery store—whenever I heard that Dan Fogelberg song about meeting the old lover in the grocery store, I thought of the one in Town & Country Village—and maybe a kitchenware shop and a little corner storefront selling children’s sandals. Now, however, it is a destination shopper’s paradise, and it features a full-on luxe and eco-friendly day spa complete with “Ivy League instructor”-led Pilates classes. LaBelle Day Spa sells its own line of organic beauty products and is reportedly “exclusive.” The beauty angle is, now officially, everywhere.
Through the month of April, Origins will plant a tree with every purchase of A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer (which is amazing, FYI). The new Return to Origins Recycling Program, however, is year-round: bring your empty cosmetic bottles, jars, tubes, etc.—regardless of brand—to an Origins store and they'll be sent away to be recycled or used for energy recovery (instead of going into landfills). Awesome.
Smashbox Cosmetics will also plant a tree (via non-profit organization Trees for the Future) with every purchase of its Mother Earth Palette, which has gorgeous shadows and is made from sustainable materials.
