Digby and Iona: Handmade Jewelry with a Whimsical Touch
Aaron Ruff, the designer behind Digby & Iona, in his Brooklyn studio. It’s rare that I obsess over jewelry; I am lucky enough to have inherited all my grandma’s and great-grandma’s necklaces, rings, hatpins, brooches and bracelets, pieces from 1880-1980, and rarely find anything that’s as interesting or beautiful as…
Anjolee Diamonds: An Eco Chick's Best Friend
Diamonds. They’re there for a girl when she needs them. As they sparkle back at you, you’re reminded of a time in your life, or a place, a person or cherished memory. But what’s even better than those feelings a diamond evokes, is the pride you have as you rock…
Pag Island’s All Natural Waste Wool: A Creative Eco Fashion Challenge
Guest Post by Kristin Vukovic Pag is a northern Croatian island made famous by its intricate handmade lace called Paška čipka, and Paški sir, its unique sheep’s milk cheese. The dry and craggy island of 8,000 inhabitants has a long tradition of cheese making and agriculture—and the island’s sheep play…
Naya Shoes Challenge: Day Four, Black and Blue
For Day Four of the Naya “Renew Your Soles” Challenge, I paired navy blue with black, which is one of my favorite combos. I dressed up a short faux-suede navy skirt I’ve had for years with some sheer blue tights with a star pattern on them, and offset the look…
Naya Shoes Challenge, Day 5: Nouveau Victorian
Between the gorgeous vintage photos I have of my great-grandmother and her sisters, to the totally captivating characters (and costumes!) on Downton Abby on PBS, I know I’m not the only one having a Victorian moment. The tailoring, the long skirts, and the lacy undergarments; what’s not to love? I…
Kelly Lane's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection: Ethical Fashion in Clouds and Canoes
Plain fabrics and neutral colors are just not my thing; even as a kid, my grandma let me pick out the fabrics that she would sew my dresses from, and I always went for textiles with gold and yellow flowers, bold stripes, or whimsical animal shapes. Not much has changed;…
Naya Shoes Challenge, Day 3: White in Winter? Yes!
I’ve always been a fashion rule-breaker, and my favorite dictum to eschew has always been ‘no white after Labor Day.’ In the last 3-4 years especially, I’ve noticed more and more people ignoring it, and none too soon – I don’t know that there can be anything better than big…
Naya Shoes Challenge Day 2: Euro Eco Flair
I don’t love to wear pants, but some day are so chilly it seems necessary. I bought these organic cotton skinny military-inspired cargos in Paris from a company that specializes in responsible fashion, Ekyog. The coat is a hand-me-down from my London-based friend Jenn, and you’ll recognize the Naya Lark…
Sweet Blossom: Dreams of Foggy Mornings
The French eco fashion line, Sweet Blossom, is perfectly named. Incorporating mostly organic cottons and silk, the dreamy collection is made up of delicate, lace-edged pieces. Looks like the line is only available in a few stores in the US, but hopefully more to come, as I found them at…
