Eco Fashion – Green Skirt

Finally! This eco-fashion web site offers up a variety of good-looking green clothing with shape.

So much “green” fashion includes shapeless clothing made of fabric that droops and drags. I found it refreshing to find this skirt.

As my grandmother would say, “this skirt is different.” I almost want to dislike it because it’s so unusual — I often do that when I see something unique and then it turns out to be my favorite item and the one that gets the most notice — yet the unusual styling on the right side makes it a hot pick in my book.

The No Plastic Bracelet

This no plastic bracelet is right up my alley. The beads are made from eco-friendly cornstarch-based resin with a dye made from natural herb tea. The recycled brass charm is the word “plastic” in a circle with a line to cross out the word. Even the card that comes with the bracelet is 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper printed with a soy based ink.

The goal of the organization making the bracelet (Everybody Green) is to raise $1 million for environmental organizations by the end of 2008. A portion of the purchase price of this $10 bracelet will be donated. The $10 includes shipping.

When I clicked on the accessories button and discovered the sunglasses, I figured they’d be made of plastic. I was already wondering how the store would spin using plastic and if they’d use recycled plastic and call it a day.

Imagine my surprise when I found these (see more wood sunglasses) crafted from materials such as teakwood (swoon):
