granola anyone?

so lately we've been thinking; in latter generations, if you wanted to go for the whole eco-friendly, organic look, you'd have to invest in whole lot of hemp. but us girls have found the perfect solution if you want to look cute, but be enviro-concious.

most people know about the vamped-up basics, hipster uniform store American Apparel. but did you know that they produce a line of organic, 100% shirts, tanks, and lingerie?


the organic fine jersey short sleeve t-shirt in pomegranite, $15. it also comes in other funky colors, i.e. ultra violet and galaxy.

heres one other place you may not expect to find eco friendly goods-- one of our favorite sites, shopbop.com. side by side KORS sandals and alice + olivia dresses are zoey and love & eight bamboo-cottons tees, an eye catching line called beau soleil, and organic cotton, humanitarian premium denim.


zoey and love & 8 "think green be cool" tee, $82: $2 of each purchase goes to the healthy child healthy world fund. it not may seem like a huge amount, but a little goes a long way.


sling & stones rebekah washed straight leg jean, $203: it may seem pricey but, every one loves their premium denim. and who also doesnt like to multi task? if you buy these jeans, part of the sale goes to humanitarian releif. plus, they are made out of organic cotton and have 24K plated gold hardware. sounds eco-friendly to me.

Nahui Ollin handbags are becoming more and more popular. spotted on the wrists of your favorites, bee and arr, and in the hand of Jenny on Gossip Girl, these bags are not only very different and fab, but they save the earth. all of the bags are made from recycled candy wrappers, gum wrappers, and soda bottle labels. the creators of these bags only use the wrappers that were rejected by companies, and were going to be put in landfills. they are each made by hand with up to 4000 pieces of recycled wrappers!

the letter-tutti in tutti fruiti (candy wrappers) as seen on gossip girl - $95

the ritual in barcode - $159 www.nahuiollin.com

recycling is not the only way to save the earth. as seen in teen vogue, joan and emily, a mother daughter team, has started saving the earth by creating a reusable shopping bag called the baggubag. each bag holds what 2-3 plastic bags would, and if you use just one baggu in a year, you will save 300 to 700 disposable plastic bags. and it doesn't hurt that they come in adorable colors and fold up to fit in your pocket.

the baggu bag is $8 with discounts available is you purchase more than one. they come in colors such as saffron, fuschia, and cobalt. www.baggubag.com
