Style File Friday: Earth Day Happenings

This is always a day that I think about all the things I could be doing to save the earth, make my community better, and be more involved.  It really is quite the list.  I usually end up feeling overwhelmed and downtrodden by it.  So today I am thinking about all the things I have done and continue to do to make this a better place than I found it.
-Last week I planted our 10 arbor day trees.  It's turning into a yearly thing. (psst... Arbor Day is next Friday)
-I've started recycling all of the shops plastic bags.  Every shirt, pant, accessory comes in plastic= lots o plastic.
-I'm consciously buying more locally made items (no plastic bags involved and lower carbon footprint).

What are some of the earth friendly habits, skills or projects that you've done?

Earth Day/Weekend events happening around town:
-Habitat Restore Celebrates: Habitat Restore: Saturday 12-4pm

Style File Friday: Dane County Farmer's Market

It's finally warming up.  How I love it when our part of earth swings towards the sun.  As a result of this warm weather everyone is getting out of the house and I have a greater range of events to choose from.  It's verging on the difficult side to choose this week.  Dane County Farmer's Market,  Midwest Horse Fair (a childhood obsession with the animal at times still prevails), Lit Fest, Family Farm Day at the Children's museum...oh Boy!  What will I pick to do?

 You already knew the Dane County Farmer's Market would win this one, hands down.  My family and I will be making the loop.  A bottle of honey, a perennial plant or two and perhaps some asparagus are on my list.

Long Terry Sweatshirt Jacket: $92

I (Heart) Veggies Tee: $32

Denim: $86

Picnic Plaid Scarf: $19

Recycled Plastic Market Tote: $30

 Enjoy the fresh veg!

Style File Friday: Wisconsin Film Festival

I'll just put it out there... I thought it was spring.  I'm supremely disappointed with the latest snowfall (although it was beautiful wasn't it?).  I want to crawl back into bed and pull the sheets over my head until all this melts and the greener grass returns.  Or I guess I could go hide away in a movie theater all weekend long.  Now that I think about it what a perfect weekend for viewing numerous films.  Thank you crappy weather.  There will be no urges to get my fanny outside, none what so ever.  Find a few films you think you'll enjoy and attend guilt free.  This is not the weekend to get yard work done.

What: Wisconsin Film Festival
When: March 30th-April 3rd
Where: All over town.
Find out more on their website.

Wisconsin Film Festival Outfit:

Yes, you can wear one of the many (tons!) of bright spring dresses in this weather.  Just add a pair of warm leggings, your winter boots (seriously, I have to get mine out, again) and a cardigan because you just never know how warm/cold the theater will be.

Urtsula Dress by Skunk Funk: $89

Skunk Funk Geo Scarf: $26

Looking for spring under the sheets.  I'll let you know if I find it.
