Recycled Rubber Beetle Bag

If I ever want my outfit to have attitude, this will be the bag I grab!
English Retreads designed this bag out of repurposed bike tires. I love the stud detailing!

At 16×10×6, it’s roomy enough for everything you need without being overpowering! You can pick yours up for $209.00 at the Greenloop!

Natalie Portman’s Vegan Shoe Collection

I forgot about Natalie Portman’s new side gig as a shoe designer, but thankfully Ecorazzi reminded me!
Natalie’s line of vegan shoes are now available at Te Casan!

To be honest, the collection isn’t anything special. They are normal, stylish, animal-free shoes. However, it looks like it’s going to be popular, because several styles are already sold […]

Fair Trade Wooden Bangles

I love a bold wooden accessory. Who doesn’t? And the latest fashion magazine (I forget which one!) I read told me that bangles were in this spring.

So, imagine my excitement when I came across these funky fair trade bangles by Organic Style. They are made by a Bali-based fair trade organization that helps women keep […]

What I Want This Valentine’s Day–Organic Undies!

So this organic cotton underwear by Buenostyle would never fall under the category of “sexy”. Or even “lingerie” for that matter. But they are super cute, colorful and look comfy!

I really like how these look boycut, but are sitting lower on the models’ hips. And who doesn’t think the cherry and the “Eat Organic” message […]

What I Want This Valentine’s Day–Gumball Ring

I heart this quirky gumball cocktail ring by Hovey Lee. It’s made out of recycled copper and a “gumball” agate gemstone.

You have your choice of yellow (shown), green jade or rose quartz. Yellow’s my fave, then the rose. With such a cheery ring, it needs to be a cheery color!
This ring is $52.00 and can […]

What I Want This Valentine’s Day–Alex and Ani Pendant

This Alex and Ani pendant is super classy. Made out of recycled metals from American mills, it’s simple enough to go with everything, but interesting enough no one will ever call it bland! I think it would make a great Valentine’s gift!
(*coughcough*)

And for $68.00, it’s a steal for a present! It’s available at Saks […]
