Take a stand against inhumane and unethical practices like horse racing and dog fighting. I mean now! All Creatures shows you how. They’ll tell you what you can do to discourage betting and help shut down these atrocious events. And once you’re done fighting for the furry ones, take a gamble on something decent instead – like a brand new hairstyle. I recently re-invented myself with a new two-toned palette and bangs `a la Bettie Paige. Not only do I love the look, but I’m eager to find new ways to express myself through it – like showing off the back blonde streak in a stripe type way. Channeling my inner Ed Hardy Geisha graphic, I threw it all up in a messy ball of elastics and locks, managing to turn eek! into eccentric with pearl white Horseshoe Dice Hairsticks by Luck 11. So much sleeker than Chinese takeout chopsticks, they’re also a bit Asian-inspired and edgy – but most importantly easy. Always a safe bet.

Ed Hardy – we all recognize the infamous brand. Some of you cool kids may even know the sweet story behind the legendary tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy, for whom the line was named. Anyone who catches a glimpse of me on a regular basis can easily attest to my serious addiction to this signature label. It comprises the majority of my once-well-rounded wardrobe. While it may just be a passing trend for some, it’s definitely left a permanent dent in my closet – surprising considering many of the items from the Ed Hardy collection are hardly animal-friendly. While I take refuge in comfy cotton tees and luxe loungewear, I find myself sorely disappointed whenever I browse their seasonal accessories line-up. Everything from bags to bracelets is completely overwhelmed with leather. Even canvas covered clutches sport a touch of leather detailing or an unsympathetic strap.
