So even in this recession, there are still some fabulous eco-fashions that I just HAVE to own. I am proud of myself for keeping some of those pieces in my dreams, but others are just too great not to have (like an English Retreads tote).
My closet is full of jeans, jeans, and more jeans. Half of them are two sizes too small, but I love them too much to throw away. Hey I will fit into them again soon, right? My latest obsession is with Del Forte‘s amazing organic cotton denim. That Eugenia skinny jean is the pant that you can dress up for a night out, or wear with a cotton v-neck and sandals. I love/want/need them.
Calleen Cordero shoes are amaaaazing!
I seem to always have a difficult time finding really stylish shoes that don’t have that overly earthy hippy look to them. Now I love my Toms, but for a night out with my girlfriends, I am always looking for a something special to dress up my denim. That leads me to Calleen Cordero. She isn’t fully “environmentally friendly,” but this North Hollywood designer creates beautiful locally handmade shoes that feature really interesting vegetable dyed leather. Cordero uses reclaimed leather and claims that “you can bury [her] shoes, and it will biodegrade.” That’s pretty cool in my book. I can’t get over the stunning gold color of her “Cleo Met” sandals. At $339.00, these shoes are probably going to stay in my dreams forever.
I’ve blogged about Larsen Gray before, and that’s because her stuff is beautiful. This is a designer that knows how to seamlessly blend environmentally friendly fabrics with high-fashion design. Eco-chic is taken to a whole new level with this simple, yet glamorous tiered tank.
I would top off this entire look with none other than an English Retreads handbag! The Model T Tote Luxe lined in Jet would be my choice. Simple, fashionable, timeless, and 100% vegan. So there you have it, my dream eco-outfit of the day. I would love to know what all you eco-fashionistas are lusting over this spring.
