green designer: habitude

image:Habitude
I came across Habitude while trolling around the ‘net and I love their look. They have a very glam feel about everything they design, while remaining eco-friendly.
Laura Chapuis, the designer of Habitude, spent 8 years working in the fashion industry, and wanted to find more meaning in her work. The line was launched in 2005, […]

golf gear: lela designs

I do not golf, but I will admit there is a intense lack of eco-friendly gear for athletes in general. While you can find plenty of yoga clothing that is green, it’s hard to find stuff for golfers and tennis players.
Enter Lela Designs, a Canadian company with a serious love […]

Linda Loudermilk’s Spring 2008 Collection

Linda Loudermilk’s collection screams ethereal rocker chic. She has created a collection filled with whimsical, edgy and dark pieces partnered with edgy and practical garments that evoke the feelings of her more over-the-top dresses. Her striking color palette (I love her choices of electric blue and the pale flower print), asymmetrical cuts and unique silhouettes […]

Stella McCartney’s Spring 2008 Collection!

As much as I love Stella McCartney, her website is really hard to navigate–too much flash– so I thought I’d share her Spring 2008 collection with you.
I love the texture and shapes she uses, it’s very floaty and girly. However, the neutral color palette washes the entire collection out.
