Oversized, layered and otherwise adorned, our eco friendly finds are all you need to look well turned out. Just make sure you keep the rest of your clothing simple.

SERIOUSLY?!
Plant Life is Looking Up!
If you walk into a friend’s home and notice that all the plants are hanging upside down, you aren’t hallucinating. Turns out the Boskke company of New Zealand has decided to save water (and floor space) by creating the Boskke Sky Planter. By utilizing a reservoir system that releases more water when the soil is dry, you only need to refill it around twice a month. SERIOUSLY?! This is one of those things that is probably a really good idea, except for one thing: it looks ridiculous! It’s like an Alice in the Rabbit Hole kind of thing. It’s a nice try, but really — we don’t need our worlds turned upside down any more than usual. $25-$75 at www.unicahome.com.
SO HOT!
Changing the Face of Mineral Makeup
Mineral makeup has been the darling of the industry for the past few years, due to the way it allows the skin to breathe without clogging pores. But up until recently, the color options were a little, um — how do we say this — dull — well, maybe not exactly dull, but less exciting then something from one of the edgier brands. Mineral Fusion makeup is working to change that by offering a vibrant color palette for eyes, cheeks and lips. The all-natural products combine superior antioxidants with the finest quality minerals available, so that your skin is being nourished from the inside, while you look great on the outside, We are big fans of eye shadow trios that make the business of creating beautiful eyes simple. We also like the bronzer that left us goddess gold, rather than oompa loompa orange. Prices range from $15.50 - $39 at select Whole Foods and www.gloskincare.com.
