Eco Chick Giveaway: Cozy Scarf by Nepali TDM Design

The weather has been bitter in the morning this week and a scarf is a perfect add-on to keep warm. Collections of scarves are abundant in boutiques, however a dud scarf can break an otherwise chic outfit. Scarves should tie an outfit together. Bright scarves add a pop of color to a more subdued outfit, whereas a brown or black scarf tones down color. How to choose the right one? The best solution is to have a couple to choose from depending on your ensemble for the day.

Of course an eco-chick must have an adorable eco-conscious scarf, like these from TDM Design.  The Nepali collection is a perfect solution for some eco-chic warmth.

Nepali began when the cofounder Michele Baldwin began to draw inspiration on her frequent trips to Nepal. She loved the vibrant colors and the natural fibers that the weavers used. Nepali was launched in 2007 and creates cute and sustainable scarves woven in Nepal. TDM Design works directly with women’s cottage industries in Nepal to support both women weavers and women’s craftsmanship.

Eco Chick Giveaway: Adrian Grenier’s Nautica T-Shirt for Oceana

You might be familiar with this hot hunk from Entourage, however Adrian Grenier has a new agenda: saving the ocean.  Grenier claims his passion for the environment turns the paparazzi and media off (not us!) but no matter what he is determined to make a difference.  He believes his responsibilities on a “human level” are to “give and contribute”.  In fact, in 2008 assisted by a team of green experts, Grenier’s Alter Eco TV show premiered on Planet Green. The show is about better, sustainable, and more ecological methods to transform living space using eco-lovable products. 

We see celebrities talking about saving the environment, but Grenier takes it one step further and has made it a passion of his to see what he can do to change the environment.  He believes it is most important to, “….see first hand what is happening”.
