Here are a few examples of the stylish, eco-friendly apparel……
Corduroy Kimono Dress

There’s so much to love about this little kimono dress….
I love the color combo of cocoa brown and a light green, it reminds me of my favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream. This little dress would look adorable over a pair of little …read more

Over at PACT, they have an interesting way of setting up their eco-friendly underwear shop. For ease and convenience, you can shop one of three ways:
*Shop by Cause
*Shope by Fit
*Shop by Print
Women have a choice of thong, bikini, or boy short. I chose to shop “Print.” I like this pair of boyshorts called 826 National. They are made of 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane. They are available in a solid grey or the pattern shown below. You can find out more about the 826 National literacy project here.

Twisted Twee Home of the Tassle Tee

Filed under Baby Products, Organic Fashion
I like to think of myself as possessing a fairly good sense of humor. That said, sometimes I’m offended by silly things. For example, the first time I saw the toddler Tassle Tee, I was horrified. Now, it just makes me giggle, but I can see where a baby t-shirt with tassles could be considered controversial.
The tees, made by Twisted Twee, in the UK, are meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Your baby will not grow up to be a stripper, just because she wears a tassle-print tee as a baby. Sometimes we take things too literally, when really it’s more fun …read more

School starts soon. That means my Girl Scout, Sarah, is going to get busy with scouting. In our area, the girls start off the year with a camp out at a waterslide park. How fun does that sound?
My girl bridged earlier this year when she joined a group of thousands of other Girl Scouts from around the country with a Bridging walk across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It was a thrilling event for the girls. They handed out handmade keepsakes to the girls they passed on the bridge.
The new Girl Scout catalog came in the mail today …read more

I haven’t written about Your Green Wedding in awhile, but there’s still lots of Summer left to wed in ………
Threadhead Creations, an Etsy shop, carries the lovely Grace gown. The dress features darts for shaping and a full, flaring skirt. The dress fabric has an imprint of a floral design. The front has a scoop neckline and the back is open, with criss-cross straps that tie. (My favorite part, I love a dress that makes the wearer look like a beautiful present).
It’s made from blend of hemp and silk (hemp 85% and silk 15%). The dress is lined with 100% …read more

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, …read more
