Green Chic: Reading In Style

I just finished reading Green Chic: Saving the World in Style, and I must say I truly enjoyed it. Author Christie Matheson is a humorous and accessible writer. She isn’t preachy or negative or self-righteous and the book is filled with antedotes from her personal green experiences.

This book understands that no one can do everything, […]

Stewart & Brown Racerback Jumper

I love the look of the racerback? Remember the racerback vest that won a challenge for Victorya on Project Runway this season? That’s because other people love the racerback too! Everyone loves a racerback!
Which is why I really love this organic cotton racerback jumper by Stewart & Brown.

Leggings, boots and a long-sleeve tee or thermal […]

Chic Sale: Cropped Quilted Vest

If I wore this quilted vest by Ryann, I’d feel all urban and tough, especially paired with a long tank and skinny jeans. For an unexpected twist, throw it over a pretty dress.

Made out of hemp and silk, it’s currently on sale for $80.00 through Fashion Ethic. It’s sweatshop free, sustainable and eco-friendly, so order […]

Lara Miller Erin Dress

How could I not write about this dress? It’s named after me! (Okay, it’s really not, but I’m going to pretend it is!)
If Lara Miller knew me, she would have made this dress a bit louder and more interesting (ha!) and it would probably clash with everything.
But this 67% bamboo, 30% organic cotton, […]

Lara Miller Kyro Dress

This Lara Miller dress is fun and flirty and a perfect look for spring! Dress it down with a cardy and flats or wedges or–oooh!–gladiator sandals (I love this trend!) or up with some heels and it’s good to go for day or night!
It’s super versatile, can be worn as a halter dress or as […]

Chic Sale: Anna Cohen Bikini

While I was browsing the sale e-racks of the Greenloop, I came across this colorful Anna Cohen bikini. It’s made out of factory surplus fabric. That is, it’s waste scraps from fabric used to make the uniforms of Olympic speed skaters.

Spring (and summer!) are just around the corner and I’d love to be lying […]

Organic Cotton Bowtie Blouse

I love this yellow blouse by BTC Elements. It’s made out of super soft organic cotton and the bow is detachable!
I’d love to pair it with some capris and flats! It would be very Audrey Hepburn, I think!

You can order it for $68.00 from BTC Elements.
