A truly fashion-environmentally friendly piece: the kelly green Silk Romper from Haute Hippie. From the drape of the amazing silk fabric to the pop of the color, this is a perfect item for spring.

Gorillaz unleashed their much anticipated third album Plastic Beach today. The album opens with a lush intro filled with orchestral arrangements then moves to the album’s first song (Track 2) “Welcome To The World of The Plastic Beach” featuring Snoop Dogg, but its not really about Snoop Dogg its about a smooth beat with Snoop popping in here and there with some lines.
