Mr. Right...

The Bite:
...or Mr. Right Now? Don't settle - try our current favorite Mister, Mr. Larkin. This just-launched, drapey-delicious apparel collection is SF-produced, Berkeley-dyed, and Oakland-cut using sustainable fabrics. Pick from layer-able and flow-y dresses and tops in whites, creams, and grays, adorned with gorgeous vintage chains and jewels that you can wear with jeans and flats, or to keep it classy after dark. Recycled adornments = no waste, and the seed paper tags sprout delphiniums when you plant 'em. Deal, sealed.
Why Care?: 
Nabbing duds made with biodegradable milk fiber fabric, organic cotton, and handmade plant dyes avoid questionable chems used in regular textile manufacturing and keep pesticides off the earth.
Props to Anne Hathaway for sportin' ML's 100% milk fiber Elsa Dress embellished with 1950s jewels - if we had a grand to drop, we'd drop it on the Elsa too.
Wanna Try: 
Mr. Larkin, available online and at Belljar, 3187 16th St. (415-626-1749). Molly Dress, $275; Lady Skirt, $335.

Cocktail Fact

In a recent dating study, men and women both said they wanted someone like themselves; during a speed-dating session, the men sought the prettier women, while the women were drawn to money.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters buy an organic cotton top instead of a nonorganic one, we'll keep the weight of 28 Mr. Rights in pesticides off the earth.
