Fashion Friday (on Monday)-EcoFabulous

Monday, May 19th, 2008


(all dresses by EcoSkin)

One of the best things about traveling to me is hitting Hudson News and buying absolutely obscene amounts of magazines with zero guilt. My last cross country flight I think I had eight different rags stacked in my hands upon boarding. So this weekend, with only a one hour flight I still managed to get four read. I saw a dress (above, green background) in InStyle that made me swoon, and even more swoon-worthy is the fact that it’s made of bamboo and Tencel and designed by a line called EcoSkin. When I think of eco-friendly clothing I think of sack-like garments made of itchy hemp. But this dress looked paparazzi ready, so I went in search of it. Of course, it’s sold out about everywhere I looked, except in black at BlondeLA. But there are so many great little dresses by them (see above) it’s hard to choose!
And while searching for the dress I found this site, Nimli, which has the most stylish selection of eco-chic clothing, jewelry and accessories I’ve seen to date! Here is a taste of the goods, but there were just so many things I liked (especially the jewelry) that I couldn’t possibly post them all.

Sandals made from recycled leather and fabrics

Great bracelets (loving the ombre silk!)

Gorgeous, glamorous earrings with opal.

Even something for Fido- a recycled wine box feeder!

Media Mobile!

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I sometimes am totally grossed out by the stacks and stacks of magazines that live under various tables and in baskets around my house. I have a full blown addiction, and can only sleep at night knowing that I recycle them. But while perusing my favorite baby site yesterday, Fawn & Forest, I came across this recycled magazine mobile and thought, “When that time comes, how PERFECT for my stylish little offspring!” Although perhaps it would be a terrible way to get the little peanut hooked from infancy, staring up at clippings from Vogue and Domino. Eh, I digress, it’s so cool and earth friendly!

Pretty AND Green!

This tip about the company Pretty Green came from my friend Liza. I am loving these reusable grocery totes they make out of Amy Butler’s fabulous fabrics! After watching Oprah last week about recycling and green efforts, I am determined to never use a plastic or paper bag again! These would help make it tres, tres chic to do so!
