Etsy shopping…. The Peeko Apparel shop at Etsy is stocked with unique handmade clothing items made from reclaimed, recycled, can reconditioned materials. I really like the tunics, some as long as short dresses, made from men’s dress shirts. She reuses parts of the shirts – collars, sleeves, etc – in new ways to make a peaked sleeve or a stand-up collar. Really interesting designs.
The tops are customized – you pick the color and material combination for your shirt and it’s sized to your specifications. Each tunic takes 3 weeks to make,  so if you are planning to make it a …read more

Popmomo. I love that name. I can’t read it or say it without it bringing a smile to my face. The name stands for post-postmodern movement. Here are a couple of men’s tees from Popomomo.

Redwood Temple Tee
$57
Redwood tree as eco-warrior? Interesting, whatever it is. This natural-colored, organic cotton tee is available in a men’s size small to extra-large.
The productof an artful collaboration between Popomomo and Isis Aquarian of The Source (a Hollywood-based spiritual “family” that began in the late Sixties). Peace-promoting and thought-provoking….
Okay, so maybe not warrior-ish. Do you have any ideas?

Ring of Fire Tee

Interesting art work again. Star. Third …read more

My favorite  style of earrings is a hoop. I can still remember my very first pair of little gold hoops, when I was 11. This pair of silver hoops was made by the Green Diva Jewelry company out of hammered, recycled silver. The hammered texture gives the timeless classic hoop a “…bit of an edge.”  They are 2.5 inches in diameter.

After years of low-cut pants and skirts, a higher waistline is making a comeback. Sometimes the look can be awkward. For example, remember Jessica Simpson in the high-waisted pants?  So many comments were made about her weight, but I think her weight was fine. She was just wearing a very unflattering pair of pants.
A skirt is a much easier way to wear the high-waist look. There’s no awkward fit through the crotch and the skirt makes the body look longer and leaner than a pair of high-waisted pants.

Vaute Couture is a small fashion house that specializes in vegan clothing. They have a line of gorgeous coats made out of recycled materials. I especially love the Luxe coat. The design was inspired by the art of Brooke Hagle.
The Luxe is available in Black, Blue, Ivory, and Gray. It has a gorgeous feminine shape, an assymetrical collar, full sleeves, and a pleated coat “skirt.” This is a warm coat that flatters, rather than hides the female figure.

The coat is wind and snow resistant, with a lining made of a “Closed Loop, Zero Waste Satin Ripstop from Tejin® …read more

Eco-friendly designer, Linda Wong, founded Canopy Verde in the Fall of 2008. Her experience at both Cole Haan and Fila taught her the basics of bag design and after managing accessories at Fila for 7 seasons, she decided that she was ready to branch out on her own.
Wong is very particular about every aspect of bag construction.
“In creating Canopy Verde, I wanted to be very thoughtful about any component that was put into the bag as well as the construction methods,” she explains. “Special attention was paid to everything down to the lining and the dyeing process.”
Canopy Verde bags are …read more

Etsy weekend shopping…. I found an interesting interview with  jewelry designing sisters, Courtney Spivak and Christina Spivak, whose shop White Owl carries lovely jewelry made from vintage items like  reclaimed crochet pieces, lace, or metals.
The sisters are creative by influence and choice – their interview says that they are “from a family of artists…” Courtney Spivak teaches communications at the college level, makes short independent films, and is also a musician. Christina Spivak is a stylist and commercial photographer. She’s worked in both independent and Hollywood film. The sisters began by selling their pieces in craft fairs and now their work …read more
