Today I followed a link from this gorgeous little 100% silk Daisy Bra. It is totally unsuitable for a woman built like I am, but so very pretty. Each bra is made to order, styled after a lovely flower. Just so beautiful….

Then, I found something perfect for Pretty By Nature - an organic bamboo jersey t-shirt - the knickers are also available.

Sally T-Shirt
$38

This shirt was inspired by Holly Golightly of Breakfast At Tiffany’s fame. It has fluttery bell-shaped sleeves and is gathered at the bottom. Here’s a bit about the advantages of using a fabric like organic bamboo jersey, which is, if you’ve ever had the opportunity to touch it, incredibly soft and silky.

Bamboo jersey is 60% more water absorbent than cotton, and has a cooling effect. It is naturally anti-bacterial and will not hold odour. Like other natural fibers, it allows the body to breathe as the fabric absorbs the sweat away from the body.

Sounds perfect for Summer-time wear, doesn’t it? Each Sally T-shirt is made to order, so contact the seller for specifics. For more information or to see what else the Hopeless shop carries, click here.

A new green bra is in the works… Daisy Green Magazine, a British online “ethical” women’s magazine, is partnering with Enamore, an eco-lingerie company, to design and produce a “best ever” ethical bra. By “ethical,” they mean sustainable materials, low carbon footprint production, no sweatshops, as gentle as possible on the environment.

The bra is going to be designed for the fuller bust - C and D cup. The founder of Enamore, Jennifer Ambrose, says the bra will be “beautiful” and “comfortable” - a better choice than what is offered in the current market. The protype will be available in mid-June and I’ll share a photo with you as soon as I find one.

Kate D’Arcy’s Toggery line is “fashion for the environmentally conscious consumer.”  Using organic fabrics and sustainable materials like bamboo, D’Arcy designs a line of fashionable essential wardrobe piecesthat can be dressed up or down, depending on your mood or the occasion.

Toggery’s Spring 2009 line features many pieces that adapt to the changes in weather that many areas experience this time of year.  Sure, it looks beautiful outside, but when you step out the door, you find that it’s still only 60 degrees. Brr.  The best way to beat the shivers is to wear light-weight layers, like this tank and cardigan.

I love how this outfit is both cute and comfortable.  This is the way I’d like to dress every day and a quick change of accessories takes this look from day to night.

For those days when it’s finally sunny and warm, you definitely need a sundress.  This is one of those versatile pieces that does double-duty on a Spring Break getaway - to the pool, sight-seeing, out for a bite to eat - one sundress suits so many different needs.

Yes, it’s still pretty cold out for most of the country.

I am sitting here in a sweatshirt with the heat on. But i am dreaming of spring, when things are warm and skirts and tank tops will be acceptable.

So, let’s take a peek at the Spring Collection from Loyale, which is totally grandma chic.

Was I right or not? I love this dress. The print is simply adorable. If it’s too girly, pair it with something more masculine, like a leather jacket.

Buy:Loyale (this collection isn’t for sale yet, but the fall collection is!)

Chic: A great store with a collection of clothing for both every day and special occasion wear. There’s a lot of cute winterwear right now.

Green: All the clothes are organic or sustainable. Fashion and Earth also donates 5% of their profits to charity.

Chic: First, I love these photos. They have a futuristic plus ghost-like look. Treches by Jeanette Bruneau Rossow is a good line of everyday wear, from simple dresses to cute tops. The colors are really bright and punchy.

Green: Everything is made with organic cotton.

Buy:treches

Chic: Effortlessly casual clothing. The tees are cute, but these two pieces are fantastic. I imagine the smock top tucked into high-waisted jeans and the hoodie top as great weekend gear.

Cost: Hoodie is $84, smock top is $68
