Of Corset It’s Eco!
June 15, 2009
RENE GENEVAI apparently set out to write about that amazing designer by a year ago, and thereupon somehow forgot- which is a shame, considering she has a huge range of wonderful eco-friendly clothes.

THE BROKEN PLATE PENDANT COMPANYI like a company whose name says what it is, (unlike Saturn, who doesn’t invent spaceships).Although, The Broken Plate Pendant Company isn’t quite accurate in its nomenclature– they plus build belt buckles, cuff hyperlinks, earrings, rings, and hair pieces out of rec…
