Organic never looked so good!

I love floral. I’ve always loved floral. Floral is timeless. Though some may say floral might not be for everyone, but who can turn down florals made with organic cotton?

Last night, thanks to @yumi_ang, we went to the H&M Garden Collection launch party at Pacific Centre. I practically loved the entire collection. The best part was that it was entirely made of recycled and organic materials! I love sustainable design. Plus, I was surrounded by shopaholics like myself with yummy hors d’oeuvres, and wine too!!! ;)

In the end, I only managed to get these flats (above) from their Garden Collection, since we went pretty late and most of the smaller sizes were taken. But I did get a nice floral scarf and a floral dress that wasn’t part of their collection to make up for it. I would go back to see if they get more stock in, but it’s back to budgeting for me.. must save for Japan in May!

On a related but less brighter note, buying things made of sustainable materials doesn’t necessarily make the world sustainable at all. Buying things that aren’t a necessity is not helping the environment. But I can’t help it.. I love clothes, shoes and bags. At least I know that buying something I love will not end up in the landfill. Which I guess is not so bad? Plus, I refuse to drive to places, I always bring my own coffee mug and I recycle almost everything, so I guess I’m already greener than alot of people I know.
