I’m a pretty huge fan of H&M, as I am often on a fairly low budget for clothing, yet really love shopping every once in a while. Over the past couple years, I have been especially impressed by their selection of organic clothing (the only suit I own, an off-white one, is actually from the collection they released in 2010). Now, the newest H&M Conscious Collection is out and it looks really fantastic for summer/fall. More
We could’t help but share this excellent piece of socially-aware street art from our friends over at Healthy is the New Skinny.

See, bigger ladies are beautiful too!” But upon further inspection, it seems that these photos are using the same kind of visual trickery that are used with the more popular skinny-model fashion spreads: angles, lighting, air-brushing, contouring, clever poses. She’s not a representation of the average-sized woman, she’s still a hyper-realized version of us “normal” women. And were you to compare and contrast, she’d still probably make you feel frumpy, and insecure about your body. More
We were pretty pissed off when we found out that H&M had been destroying their unsold clothes rather than donating them, so it’s really nice to hear about a responsible retailer doing what they can for those less fortunate. Bebe … More
