Target shades : Alex and Chloe necklace : Mini for Many shark tee : Celebrity Pink shorts : F21 suspenders : vintage rings and bag : Vivienne Westwood x Melissa shoes

Minimarket came out with a new diffusion line that's gentler on the pocketbooks! Mini for Many! Such a clever title. As you will remember, I have been eyeing the shark sweater from Minimarket's spring line. Not able to justify spending over $200 on a sweater when Mother Nature has already started turning up the heat, I was ecstatic to find out that Mini for Many had a much more affordable shark t-shirt. The tee is super soft (I even had someone ask to touch it in a store- no kidding) and profits go to savetheblue.org, which will go toward the making of a documentary about the slaughtering of sharks. I purchased mine from Scout but just found out Oak has it as well.

Now for the guilt part- it just so happens that it's in my culture to eat shark fin soup, and yes, I admit that I have had it as part of a large seafood feast. I will not deny my past and after buying this shirt, I have decided to be a shark reformist. No more shark fin soup for me. Seriously, have you checked out the Save the Blue website? Knowledge can open your eyes to some very sad and scary stuff.

  9. Thank you for the comment!

    You look super cute on these photos! Loving the outfit too! I have a very similar pair of shorts only darker denim, from Zara.

    I've also had my eyes open to some scary stuff recently, not about sharks though, but about the extreme use of natural resources for energy, not as touching I know, but scary if you understand it properly.

  12. I love Vivienne Westwood shoes. They are waterproof and comfy, and GREEN.

    I agree about the need to sport things that benefit the planet. Some good cause. Good for you for bringing more information to the masses.

    I love that shirt in combo with that pair of shorts, too. Love that goofy photo, too. So fun.

  16. hahaha, your tee is so funny:)

  17. Ken: Yes indeedy, those shoes do have a little hole at the tip. For ventilation, I suppose? :)

    duckalicious: The shark attempting to munch on the pendant was totally unintentional! I didn't notice until I uploaded the photos.

    And yes, Glasnost is the name of my hubby's band. They took it from the Russian policy of openness and transparency!

    Sophia Leo: There are definitely lots of scary stuff out there. Of course, the first step is actually finding out and reading up on them. I definitely try to be more aware these days.

    Betty Gaeta: Nope, I'm not Brazilian, although I would love to visit Brazil one day. I purchased the shoes online. I love Melissa shoes! They are surprisingly comfy!

    Sam Harvey Handbags: I'd like to see these delicious shoes you are talking about! Oh husbands, always in the way of us making our ridiculously expensive purchases. Ha, my hubby likes spending our moolah on gidgets and gadgets, so sometimes I don't feel too bad. ;)

  18. I was thinking the same thing! I actually poked holes/randomly shredded/completely destroyed almost every t-shirt I own. It was incredibly cathartic haha and I feel like I have almost a brand new wardrobe.

    The silly pic had me giggling for a minute- a perfect goofy moment caught on film. love it.

    as for those suspenders? PERfect accent for the outfit.

    oh, and thank you for your comment, by the way :-)

  20. Those shorts are absolutely adorable. I just became a fan of the Celebrity Pink line because their skinny jeans are so comfortable.

    I'm definitely checking out that shark shirt too.

    You look so pretty!

  33. STARR: I'm wearing Almay Powder Blush in Pink. I used a blush brush to apply it, rather than the tiny brush that it comes with.

    sha: Neh, I don't judge people by what they eat. I was pretty much born eating everything under the sun and every part of the animal, and I've got a stomach of steel to prove it!
