Green is the new black.
Being eco-conscious is just the latest trend among fashion's elite. Hippies, hipsters, and the haute couture wearing social elite all finally have a trend among them, but their sources for green friendly wears trifurcates, as eco-friendly garments are becoming more and more available, from the high-end (Stella McCartney's vegan chic & Rogan Gregory's Rogan and Edun lines are all known for their organic and sustainable pieces) to the super affordable (H&M recently released a statement that they will feature organic cotton more prominently in their autumn/winter 2008-09 collection along with other sustainable materials such as organic and recycled wool and polyester).
Below, 8 great products that are all-natural, organic, and environmentally sound.
*Tarte Natural Beauty Cheek Stain
Açaí, pomegranate, and goji berry extracts pack a powerful punch of skin-softening and vitamin rich powers that allow for this sweet smelling cheek stain to subtly add a flush to your face. The all-natural ingredients not only provide your skin with vitamins that are anti-inflammatory, but they reduce redness and brighten and soften the skin. And, with each gentle glide you can rest easy that no toxic or hard-to-pronounce chemicals are being rubbed on. Genius!
*Korres Absinthe Men's Shave Cream
All the benefits of an all-natural shaving cream (non-irritating, incredibly close shave) with all the fun of absinthe. A great gift idea, or pick one up for yourself.
*C&C California Organic Sea Tank
I almost began to clap and squeal outloud when I first read that C&C California, brand of the softest, longest, and far superior tank, makes organic wear. Swap your earth-unfriendly Hanes tank for this one, either as a bold earth-friendly statement tank, or a perfect layering piece.
*Rogan for Target Leopard Print Monokini
A fun and affordable option for beach and pool-side play that won't leave you with even an ounce of guilt, by your wallet or tree-hugging friends.
A dusty blue hoodie for men or women with a cool graphic print on the hood. 100% organic cotton fleece makes it a perfect layering piece to grab on chilly nights in the summer or on your way to class in the fall.
*J Brand Green Label Organic Lovestory Jean
Super denim brand makes their popular Lovestory jean in organic cotton. The flared bottoms add a slightly hippie edge any ensemble, without going overboard.
*Larsen Gray Bouquet Ruffle Sash Dress
The answer to the environmentally-sound little black dress, Coco Chanel circa Now would be so proud.
Any re-usable bag will do when plastic and paper are the alternatives, but why not put brand yourself as an organic-using shopper with this tote that can be tucked away in your status bag and used for groceries, art supplies, work papers, and the occasional shopping spree.
