Rogan for Target at Barney's: Inside the Dressing Room
This shirt was the hit of the event. You can’t say I don’t do anything for you, my faithful Eco Chick readers- for goodness’ sake, I took you inside the dressing room at Barney’s with me at the Rogan for Target debut, which was held at Barney’s on Madison Avenue…
Ecofashion Label Toggery: A Look Inside
I’ve been a fan of Kate D’Arcy’s line, Toggery, for some time. Her comfy, simple, and stylish pieces are all a little more than basic, with great detail. Best of all, they come in COLOR! and lots of it. Kate’s an ecofashion designer who works in way more than neutral.…
Under the Canopy Sale
We spend one third (that’s 33.3333 . . . percent) of our entire life “in bed” (disregard promiscuous college students). Yet, the importance of healthy bedding is often overlooked, considered excessive and far too expensive. Yes, some bedding items (i.e. the throw pillow) are unnecessary, but soft, cozy, non-toxic bedding…
Because Mother Earth is a Woman
Ok, ok, I’ll admit it. Mother’s Day was born from the corporate strategists at Hallmark, but who wants to be a grinch . . . especially when it comes to your mother, the woman who gave you life and . . . well . . . pretty much most of…
Toys R Us Goes Green-ish
This week Toys R Us announced that it is launching a new line of green toys to be released by Earth Day, April 22nd 2008. I tend to be skeptical when bigger companies like this try to hit a marketing sector they may have previously missed. The Forest Stewardship Council…
Sublet: Subtly Sexy
Sublet’s mellow-sexy bamboo and organic cotton tops and dresses make dressing sustainable downright simple. The genesis of the label is a reflection of how the designers of the line met-cute: After responding to a Craigslist sublet posting during college, Inessah found herself dragging two suitcases up three flights of stairs…
Sweet Pepita Clothing
Shannon Kline is the creator of Sweet Pepita Clothing. Using recycled fabrics from old, funky tee’s and 100% organic cotton, Sweet Pepita blends sustainability with hip, retro style. You can send Shannon a favorite old tee-shirt that you don’t want to get rid of and she will give it new…
Baby Bunch
Baby Bunch makes these too-cute new-parent’s gifts. They look like a bunch of flowers, but they are really organic cotton baby onesies, booties, hats and towels. Because they’re disguised as a bouquet, they can be given as is, rather than wrapped, saving resources at the same time!
Eco-Fashion Makes Local Farmers Happy
The organics industry is expected to boom faster than ever in the next few years. And I’m stoked. It seems like everywhere I look, someone else is going organic. Just the other day I was perusing my favorite store, H&M and came across and entire organic section, that I had…
Lululemon & oqoqo in Chicago
One thing that’s driven me crazy since moving to Germany is the total lack of decent clothing for working out … and by decent, I mean that it had to fulfill at least one of my sustainability criteria: be made of organic or sustainable fabric, be recycled or secondhand, or…
