Here’s something that I never thought I’d see, Kim Kardashian and
pollinator conservation mentioned in the same article. Admittedly, the two
are not connected in any way. They are separate items in a round-up of
fashion news, but it seems there’s no harm in the association, especially
if it means more people will be drawn to an item that mentions pollinators!
Oh, and Beyonce is mentioned too. Bees are flying in some lofty celebrity
circles…



The entire article is pasted in below, though you have to skip past Kim
Kardashian in the opening paragraph and Beyonce in the third to reach
mention of bee conservation in the fifth. Thank you to J.Crew for making
this possible!

*Kim Kardashian Looks Timeless in a Ball Gown at the 'Time' 100 Gala*

By Ann Brady on April 22, 2015



(Source: FameFlynet) It's hard to deny that Kim Kardashian looked rather
elegant at the *Time* 100 gala last night. Usually the selfie star
gravitates towards tight and revealing looks, but this Sophie Theallet
evening gown (with pockets!) suited her well.

Also making an entrance at the gala was comedian Amy Schumer who made a
rather not-so-spontaneous fall in front of Kim and Kanye. Who is Amy
Schumer? Well, she's funny and stylish and if you don't know of her...it's
time to get to know her. See her best looks here.

Speaking of time, Beyoncé is the latest fashionista (following Karl
Lagerfeld) to show off the yet-to-be-released Apple watch. Other mortals
have to wait until Friday to get their hands on the in-demand product. We
wonder if Angela Ahrendts—the impressive former CEO of Burberry turned
Apple employee—has anything to do with its fashionable debut.



Another stylish debut taking place: the first-ever swim collection *and*
collaboration for Carolina Herrera. The classic brand has teamed up with
swimwear blogger Natasha Oakley for the campaign. Your special-occasion
swimsuit has just been found. [Neiman Marcus]

Happy Earth Day! J.Crew is out to save the bees by supporting The Xerces
Society—a non-profit organization that protects wildlife through the
conservation of invertebrates and their habitat—with its latest collab. Why
bees? They are quickly becoming an endangered species and their plight will
have unbelievable and devastating effects on our environment.
Illustrator Donald Robertson created rad Save The Bees tees with the brand
and 50 percent of sales goes directly to the society. [J.Crew]

With it being Earth Day and all (and the warmer days becoming more plenty),
why not recycle that old pair of jeans you have in your closet and turn
them in to cutoffs? [SHEfinds]



And while we're on the subject of denim, London-based label MiH Jeans
created a seven-piece capsule collection exclusively for Net-a-Porter,
which launches today. The range of easy, breezy pieces is inspired by
summer in the South of France so it's all very tres chic. [Net-a-Porter]
