"Eco-Chic" ...

I am so unbelievably sorry that I'm so late in posting this photoshoot! The truth is, I've only just stumbled upon it, but it caught my eye immediately. Why? Well, for a few reasons, of course. One, Cameron Diaz is one of my all-time idols. She sticks true to what she believes in, and she's extremely professional. Not to mention a style icon! The second reason, and by far the most important, is the overall idea of the shoot. Diaz is well-known among many for her eco-friendly habits; her hybrid car and all natural clothing only grazes this fact. So, for the photoshoot, photographer Mario Testino decided to clothe Diaz in "green". Not the color, my darlings, but the mantra. Thank you, Mr. Testino, for delivering me one of my favorite shoots of the year.

So everyone, in honor of the lovely Miss Cameron Diaz, let us all try our hardest to be as "green" as we can this year. We owe it to the gorgeous clothing made by these amazing designers, Mr. Mario Testino, ourselves, and most importantly, the earth we live on. I'll do my part right now by shutting off my laptop to conserve electricity, but I'll leave you with this one thought. Wouldn't you feel good to be a part in prolonging the life of the beautiful place we live? Isn't it worth it to shut off that one television, to pick up that one piece of trash on the ground, and to recycle that one empty bottle? I say yes to both questions. So, my darlings, let's "go green"!
