We’ve got the gossip on a hot new trend for steamy nights! Tribal Watercolor is the newest print that is both electric and classic. Jessica Szohr stepped into the future when she paired a computerized print silk dress with an open-toe bootie heel.

Designer Julia Smith MIA (made in Africa) is no stranger to tribal prints and her new line for S/S 10 delivers the goods. The Luna Splash Dress is made from organic cotton in Ghana under a Fairtrade project. Complete the look with Yellow Heeled Vegan Shoe Boots from Olsenhaus.

Sustainable Style Make-Over: Oxford Shoes for Ladies

Women have been stealing their male counterparts’ sweaters, tees and jeans forever- now it is time to covet their shoes! Alexa Chung shows us how to sport oxfords in style. No longer meant just for the blokes or school children, oxfords are a fashion statement that brings a new take to a flat and comfy shoe about town.

Pair them with leggings or those boyfriend jeans you already stole, and add a buttondown and scarf for the full effect. Marais makes a vegan version that is fair trade made in China from cotton.

Ed. Note: Melissa makes a pair in deep purple fuzzy plastic (yes, plastic! Don’t worry, they are recyclable and also come from a closed-loop factory, ensuring no toxic chems get into the environment).
