Amazon - Isabel Toledo: Fashion from the Inside Out by Valerie Steele and Patricia Mears
The First Mom is a fitting sartorial muse for all contemporary women: mothers and daughters, friends and mentors alike. Lucky for us, on the occasion of Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration, Michelle put the spotlight on a previously under-the-radar designer: Isabel Toledo. Celebrate any and all the women you admire with a trip to the Fashion Institute of Technology for Isabel Toledo's upcoming exhibit (June 17 - September 26, 2009) and/or a copy of the designer's new book (to be published July 2009.)

That we all have the capacity for compassion is the central tenet of this book. Although we generally think of compassion as something we exhibit towards other people, I also see it as something we can demonstrate towards our planet and other life forms abiding with us: earth-bound compassion, if you will.

Packing your own (super healthy, of course) lunch is a money-saving proposition, of course. But when you have a place to store a beverage and utensils and have the assurance of knowing it is going to last you more than one school year ( or calendar year ), you have got yourself a truly sustainable lunchtime plan. You even get to choose from an array of stylish colors. Sustainably yum.
