unruly things

I’m always a big fan of shirtdresses. they are so casually comfortable, but yet versatile enough be dressed up as well. I especially love this one from Nature vs. Future. not only is it 100% organic cotton, but it’s also been given a little twist on the original classic. and I love that fabric

I love these prints from Mod Green Pod. 100% organic cotton, and hand-silkscreened without harmful chemical finishers, Mod Green Pod’s fabrics are healthier for you, your house, and the environment.

oh my gosh, what a fabulous website! sprig is a site dedicated entirely to eco design, then broken down by food, fashion, beauty, home, and lifestyle. sprig takes the hard work out of hunting for great green finds. each item on the site explains “why it’s good” and “why it’s green”, which I think is truly amazing. I have a feeling I’ll be browsing this site a lot more when I have the time.

I picked up the May issue of Elle magazine on Sunday, which just so happens to be titled “The Green Issue”. I didn’t have a chance to look at it until yesterday while at the gym, and I found some really great things that tie into my eco-friendly posts from Monday. Under the Canopy is an entire collection of men and women’s clothing that utilizes the Earth’s resources in an eco-friendly, sustainable manner by using organic fibers and fiber blends such as organic denim, organic cotton angora, and soy. both of these tops are made from 100% organic cotton. I love the relaxed and layered look of the collection. and of course, I adore the neutral colors. {if you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know I’m a sucker for neutral colors…indigo blue, gray, white, chocolate brown…} they also have organic cotton sheets, towels, and spa robes.

I’ve always loved the layered screen prints of amenity home decor. amenity offers a wide selection of organic pillows that not only are eco-friendly, but bright and colorful as well.

I saw these dresses once before in domino and wanted to post about them, but never did. I’m in love with the style of these dresses. they are a bit vintage looking and oh so fabulously “green”. designer Vanessa Barrentes incorporates natural fibers such as bamboo into her linen fabrics.

since yesterday was Earth Day, I decided to concentrate my posts today on effective ways to be earth friendly as well as chic and fashionable. now, not to say that I’m 100% perfect when it comes to doing things for the environment, but I’d like to be better. here are some really cute canvas shoppers with the environmental shopper in mind. designed to tote along with you on your light shopping days but big enough to fit an entire Italian meal, including bread, wine, cheese, pasta, veggies, and meat!
