A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL

We know that, in the world of jewelry, big has notoriously been better. Bold bib necklaces, chunky bracelets and oversized rings have dominated the scene for the past several seasons. While that movement shows no signs of slowing down, like all trends, it might not work for everyone.

BIG BAG THEORY

A woman´s purse is kind of like one of those clown cars at the circus. Sure, it may look tiny, but open it up and then stand back, as mints, hair accessories, keys, a protein bar, a cell phone, the occasional Lego piece, paper clips, lipstick, wallet and more come tumbling out.

BE MINE

If you want to make an impression on the one you love this Valentine’s Day, forget flowers and candy. Instead, give that someone special something extra special that he or she can enjoy all year long — and for many more to come.

WINTER WHITE OUT

White has come a long way from the virginal, sweet, pure shade it was once considered to be. Today’s white is sexy, sleek, sporty, sophisticated and elegant. Sure, it looks great against summer-bronzed skin, but white has finally shaken off...

NEW YEAR´S REVELATIONS

As a season wears on, it is easy to become stuck in a rut. After bundling up for a couple of months, you long for spring. And, after weeks of tank tops and flip flops, you crave a sweater. You’re bored with the old, but it’s not time to bring out the new. What’s an eco fashionista to do?

SALES, SALES, AND MORE SALES

One of our favorite four-letter words is SALE — especially when some of our favorite eco fashion designers and boutiques are taking off 50% and more on some of the season’s hottest looks. The only downside to sales is that you have to take the time to do some digging.

GET MOVIN´

What’s the most popular New Year’s resolution? You guessed it! To exercise more and get in shape. What better way to get motivated then by treating yourself to some stylish exercise clothes and gear? These eco fashion finds can take you to a yoga class, a bike trail, a tennis court or out for a low cal lunch with the ladies!

SNOW BUSINESS

It is the season of peace on earth and good will towards your fellow man. Sure, we know it’s hard to show good will during the holidays when people are pushing and shoving to get the last Zu Zu Hamster, but there is no better time to remember that we are all in this together. And, while you may not be able to wave your magic

PEACE ON EARTH

LITTLE GIFTS — BIG SMILES

Whether you celebrate the holidays by hanging a stocking or not, you know you love the fun little “happys” that qualify as stocking stuffers. They are usually small, typically inexpensive, often

IN THE CLUTCHES OF FASHION

Nothing ruins a beautiful evening dress like the wrong bag. But let’s face it — sometimes a girl needs her lipstick, iPhone, keys, wallet, powder… Okay, so maybe you could pare things down a bit.

FOR THE HOST AND HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST

Your mother always told you never to show up empty-handed, but she never told you what you should bring to those holiday parties coming up. Flowers, although beautiful, require the host or hostess

LAYERS OF SUBSTANCE

One of our favorite trends this season is the resurrection of the blazer. No longer associated with prep school snobs, the blazer has relaxed and quit taking itself so seriously. From the slouchy boyfriend variety to a more traditional fitted cut, we love these eco friendly styles for their ease

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

Well-dressed women seem to have one thing in common — they know how to accessorize. They understand what the right necklace, earring or other bauble can do to an everyday outfit. With this season’s jewelry making a bold statement, achieving that perfectly accessorized look

BIKER CHIC

Our Top Eco Friendly Styles to Get Your Motor Runnin - The latest fall trend is embracing all that’s good about looking “bad.” It falls somewhere between Joan Jett and Hell’s Angels and relies heavily on leather, spikes, and chains. At first glance, it is not a trend that appears to lend itself to the green way of life. But, look a little closer and you will find that these eco fashion essentials will

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

Let the Best Eco Friendly Coats and Wraps of the Season Keep You Toasty Warm - Is there anything better than snuggling up in a warm winter coat when the temperatures begin to drop? It’s kind of like enveloping

SUPPORT YOUR BREASTS

Boobies, ta-tas, jugs, hooters, rack. Call them anything you want if it makes you less inhibited when it comes to talking about your breasts. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there is no better time to get acquainted with your own pair. According to the National Cancer Institute, one in every eight women will develop breast cancer within her lifetime.

A VESTED INTEREST IN FASHION

If you are going to purchase one transitional eco fashion piece this season, may we recommend investing in the vest? Designers have a vested interest in this classic look for fall and are offering vests in a variety of sizes, shapes and fabrications. From fitted and tailored to relaxed and slouchy
