Update!!



*Sigh* Yes, I have actually been moving! Which is no fun and lots of work and I've been missing blogging! But I will be back in the game as soon as I crawl my way past the boxes to my computer! And I have THE contest on the drawing board, and I hope you will find it fun! Look for a post any day now announcing it and all the details! There will either be cash prizes (paypal), coupons, or gift certificates awarded so stay tuned!

Ah yes, almost forgot! Since 7 for all Mankind and Rock & Republic tied, I will be doing a 'designer denim deal of the day' for both, of course ;) That will be around any day now as well!:)

By the way, ever heard of Sling and Stones? They put real 24k gold rivets on their jeans! Pretty spiffy eh? AND...drum roll...they use organic cotton (which I am happy to hear)! And they contribute to sustainable living. If I ever buy a pair of premium denim full price, it just might have to be from this designer! They are way ahead of the game!

"Sling & Stones denim is made of American-grown organic Supima cotton, one of the finest and rarest natural fibers on earth. Our jeans are virtually pesticide-free, unlike the average cotton jeans which contain 27% harmful chemicals."

Check 'em out at www.slingandstones.com for yourself!

"The twill and denim are accessorized by genuine 24k gold plated hardware and zari thread, handcrafted by skilled artisans in India."

"The twill for our pocket bag lining is made of organic Fair Trade cotton, grown on the farms of Peru. Our supplier programs in Peru (1) help poor farmers, who previously were forced to grow cocaine, (2) generate electricity for the nearby villages, and (3) donate proceeds back into the local communities. Fair Trade ensures workers are paid enough to care for their families, put food on the table, and send their children to school."

"A percentage of Sling & Stones’ profits will be used to immunize villagers in Peru, fight teen suicide in Japan, and build an orphanage and youth rehabilitation center in India."
