It is no secret that Stella McCartney has an eco friendly streak, but this latest bag design is something else. Obviously, for the right person carrying around the head of deer is fine, but there are going to be those people who believe it is bad taste.

Yesterday I posted about the impending lawsuit that actress Kate Hudson is facing with her eco-friendly hair care line. The actress, her hair stylist David Babaii and the manufacturer Universal are being sued by 220 labs for allegedly stealing their secret eco-friendly ingredient, volcanic ash, and making their own eco-friendly hair care line.
Through her spokesperson, Hudson has denied the allegations and has stood firm on the claim that she

These shoes are definitely something special. They are based on designs from Argentina and are light yet comfortable, but what makes these shoes so special is that for every pair TOMS sold the company will donate another pair to children in need!

Some shoes are easier to make from eco friendly or sustainable materials, such as leisure shoes like trainers, flip flops and other types of simply designed shoes.

These sports and recreation style shoes are easier to make from sustainable materials because they do not have the same amount of work going into them, granted some sports shoes, which are designed for sports, are going to be more complex, but these are leisure shoes.

I am a HUGE Coldplay fan! I have all their albums, plus their music reminds me of my youngest brother who is also a fan. It was interesting and kinda funny to read that Coldplay makes their own clothing, and that they are all into SEWING.
These guys are the epitome of cool and they like to sew in their rooms while on tour? That is revelatory to say the least. Having said that, it is kinda neat to learn that the band members and front lead singer

Ok. I’m all for the environment. I don’t buy leather shoes anymore and I really adore the green Simple brand of footwear. But, once in awhile, style trumps eco friendly. See below.
The green shoes above are made using sustainable wool and recycled fasteners. But as you can see they are not all appealing. Sorry Patagonia, but you dropped the ball big time here.

While the intention was good, it seems that actress Kate Hudson left out some minor details. In a previous post I made in June, it was announced that Kate Hudson was partnering with hair stylist David Babii to create an eco-friendly hair care line to which the proceeds with go to the WildAid Foundation. Apparently there was something more to it.
An eco-friendly secret formula called “Vanuatu Complex” was reportedly copied and used paving the

She may be more famous for designing eco friendly lines of fashion, which includes clothing lines and even the eco friendly bags, which most designers seem to knock out these days as a standard back up line.

Shoes are a delicate matter when it comes to being eco friendly. As there are numerous components that go into producing a shoe, making it difficult for customers to know what the pair of shoes that they are looking at is made from.

However, there are some makers who go out of their way to make sure that the entire shoe is totally eco friendly. This is really hard to do, so in fact there may be a limited amount of chemicals within the makeup of

Clothing has come a long way when it comes to eco friendly or ethical design, there was a time when this title would have meant woolly jumpers and jeans with a load of whole it them, but it is all different now as designers begin to add fair-trade, ethical and organic materials into their designs.

Here is a watch that is claimed to be eco-friendly but tough on the pocket. Perhaps a bit too pricey for the normal consumer, the Quicksilver Eco-friendly watch can be a good addition to the collection of anyone in the line of millionaires these days.
But while that is an issue, the eco-friendly make of this watch is something that has not been clearly defined. This timepiece is said to be worth $500 and if you are looking on how eco-friendly t

Well not exactly, a green wedding as such, but a white wedding dress which is eco friendly. There must be so many choices to make when choosing a wedding dress, but do the materials and how the dress has been made, ever come into the equation?

Well it should because an eco friendly wedding dress does not have to be made of banana palms to be green, as this selection from Morgan Boszilkov are everything that a green girl could ever want.

If you’re into a modernist look or a Mad Max look, i know each is quite different, but the items showcased below fit each design aesthetic.
Re Nest recently stumbled upon an Etsy designer who specializes in creating art out of recycled circuit boards. Some of the pieces are even functional, such as the recycled circuit clip board. My personal fave is the recycled pc circuit board sun catcher pictured below.
