Coming Soon…Portovert
I’m excited about the upcoming launch of the online-only wedding magazine, Portovert, the “First and Only Online Magazine for Eco-savvy Brides and Grooms”. The wedding business in the United States is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, one that creates insane amounts of waste (not to mention Bridezillas!). Up until…
Electric Cars ARE for Girls!
I love this new site, Electric Cars Are for Girls. Since women buy the majority of cars in this country AND make up the bulk of people who consider themselves environmentalists, it makes perfect sense to get women on the electric car bandwagon. Lynne Mason, who runs the site, knows…
Solar Striptease
Ladies, this one’s for you…..Love it! (Kinda Not Safe For Work)
InStyle Goes Green(ish)
I don’t usually buy InStyle (but Kate Winslet was on the cover! I love her), but I’m quite pleased that I picked up the December issue at the grocery store last night. What to my wondering eyes should appear, but in the midst of their gift-giving multi-page extravaganza, with such…

I love them all, and wear them all, too. Obviously I…

Check out Summer Rayne’s HOTT new video for Behind the Label, her eco-fashion editorial for Lucire Magazine. Why can’t we get eco-fashion photography like this in a US-based magazine? (FYI, Not Safe For Work)
The Site Was Down….
……the last few days due to server upgrades and software changes. Thanks for your patience! More new features to come…..
Green Girls Gone Global
Have you all seen Green Girls Gone Global?? It’s another all-chick-all-the-time Eco Blog. I’m so excited to see women jumping into the blogosphere with all their various female voices. They have some great posts up now, check them out!
Flor for Your Floor
I have the world’s smallest bathroom considering I don’t live on the island of Manhattan, so I hired a Superb Bathroom Renovation South Dublin service to swap out an extremely ugly (faux blue marble patterned plastic, need I say more?) sink cabinet for a vintage pedestal sink that was left…
Anthropologie Does a Little Green
Anthropologie is one of my favorites stores, but one I haven’t been shopping at as much lately, now that so many green fashion designers have such gorgeous stuff out there. Gone are the days when ecofashion meant organic cotton yoga pants with a stripe down the side. (While I love…
