Review: Gaia Conceptions Organic Cotton Tube Dress

June 26, 2008

I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated multi-tasking clothing as much as I do now that I have this lovely Gaia Conceptions “Love me two times” dress. I love it as a tube dress more than just a skirt, but they are both fabulous, and perfect for travel. I took this to Florida recently and got [...]

Eco-Chic: Sweetskins Denim Skirt

June 15, 2008

Oh!! I love this denim maxi skirt by Sweetskins. It’s totally earth friendly; made from luxurious indigo hemp-cotton denim, and produced by a company that is ethically run. Sweetskins is run by designer/mom of three, Mira Fannin, who is devoted to using the “latest & greatest” in ecologically sound materials (I see she is partial [...]

Review: Sustainable Collective Organic Cotton

June 8, 2008

Another fabulous new eco-friendly designer is Sustainable Collective by Convoy Apparel. Sustainable produces more “avant garde” pieces than many other earth-friendly designers, and I think there is a definite need for that; they appeal to the more fashion-forward “environista” with their unique take on the hoodie, versatile vests, rocker-chic tees, and much more. I was [...]

Review: Rogan for Target

June 3, 2008

In case you’ve been stuck under a rock (or thinking about something other than fashion or shopping…), Target launched their new Go International Designer collection by Rogan Gregory yesterday. I normally DO NOT get excited at all about these collections; they are usually too “juvenile” for my taste, and never fit me correctly. But I [...]

Review: SPUN Organic Cotton Tops

June 3, 2008

This is my new favorite top. Seriously. I received a fabulous package of goodies from new eco-friendly designer, SPUN, last night, and I can already tell this top is going to be a staple in my closet. The fit is perfect – it flares out a bit at the hip, but isn’t boxy at all. [...]

Eco-Chic: Cardigans

May 26, 2008

I’m just as much a sucker for cardigans as I am for dresses when the weather warms up. I CANNOT go without a cardigan or something long-sleeved during warmer weather because I FREEZE anytime I’m in air conditioning. Pardon my “yelling,” but it is so frustrating. So, my solution is to look for sleeveless dresses [...]

Eco-Chic: Sublet Clothing

February 20, 2008

It seems like many designers, in an effort to be unique and innovative, only end up with really complicated designs. Not Sublet. The company started by two roommates, literally while subletting, focuses on sustainable fabrics, responsible business practices, and pretty clothes. Aside from the environmentally friendly aspect of their designs (bamboo and organic cotton), I [...]
