Thy leaves are so unchanging...?

So this blog is not fashion related (aaahhh!), but it's such a great concept, I just had to share.

This holiday season, instead of buying a tree that will dry up and shed to death in your living room, why not RENT a tree!?

That's right, you can rent a living tree from The Living Christmas Co., in a pot with it's roots still growing, that will go back to the nursery after the holidays and have a chance to continue growing.

Year after year you can request the same tree, building it right in to your annual family traditions, until it's too big for your living room. Once it outgrows it's ornaments, it will be permanently planted somewhere to make our world a more beautiful place.

Ranging from $50 to $135, this is a great option this holiday season. It's like giving the earth a Christmas present!

Earthy Earth Day

Okay, let's face it.  Sometimes "green" clothing can look just a little too earthy.  We fashion lovers want more than message tee's about recycling plastic (even though some of them are pretty cute).

I love a bohemian look on some people, but is looking like an homage to the 1960's a prereq for dressing eco friendly?  Not anymore!

Designer Linda Loudermilk creates beautiful, strong, sophisticated designs from sustainable materials including sasawashi, bamboo, sea cell and soya.

Friendly Bags

Not long ago, I found out about an eco-friendly, 100% vegan, charitable line of bags called Matt and Nat.  I quickly became intrigued and excited because they seem to have something for everyone.

For the girl who wants a that 80's splash of color that is so hot this season, try the Mod or Japanese Paper collections.  

Women craving a rocker edge should browse the Metal collection.

Even everyday work bags can be both environmentally-aware and  fashion-forward with the Streamline and Bi-line collections.

Added incentive?  Online orders of $250 or more get a free, 100% recyclable and biodegradable "Enviro Tote," perfect for the beach...or more shopping.

Heal the World

Just in time for Earth Day (April 22nd), I came across two happy little blogs dedicated to living green, with lovely sections on ECO FASHION.  Check them out at ecofabulous and Heart of Green.

Celebrate Earth Day all year round by remembering that little things you do can make a difference.  You can go green when you shop by asking the clerk not to wrap your clothes in tissue or forgoing a store bag altogether and carrying your purchases out in your own bag or purse.  They are easy ways to start showing some love for the Earth.
