C'N'C Costume National's Solar Bag

C'N'C Costume National's Solar BagApparently C'N'C Costume National designer Ennio Capasa has created a solar handbag for Fall that will recharge your portable devices. Which reminds me of a Noon Solar bag that I wrote about last year that also was solar powered! Get an original idea Costume National!

Ruffle Attached Hem Skirt

Ruffle Attached Hem SkirtI like how this skirt's ruffled hem has gaps, like it's been sewn on in a last minute whim. A very stylish whim, though. Buy in either light or dark gray for $159 at Stewart + Brown, one of my favorite eco-labels.

Coral Island Necklace

Coral Island NecklaceI didn't know coral jewelry could be eco-friendly; in my mind I always imagined people tearing up coral reefs for trinkets. But apparently there are environmentally friendly pieces, like this handmade coral necklace! Buy at Tobi for $126.

Split Side Tank

Split Side TankYay, more earth friendly fare for you! Look at all the fishies on this sustainable silk tank! Buy buying it, you'll probably be saving fishie lives, as well as bunnies and turtles and more! Find it at ShopBop for $233.

Shopping At lucy

Remember how we posted about lucy and the grand opening in Bethesda, MD? Well, I’ve seen lucy stores around but haven’t been in one to shop for athletic apparel. I went to the one in Town Square, Las Vegas during my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised to find that I wanted to buy a lot! They have soy/cotton jersey hoodies and capris that are more supple than cotton but super smooth and drape beautifully. And eco-friendly! They also have yoga pants in different fabrics and different lengths – a very nice option when you’re 5’2”. They had a fantastic pair of leggings that ended up being an awkward length for me – about 2 inches above my ankles – they need to make a pair that’s longer or shorter because I really want them. I bought several things and on my way out I spotted a lavender hoodie on the mannequin but I’ll have to get that on my next trip…

Organic Floppy Sun Hat

Organic Floppy Sun HatWhile you're hopefully wearing sunscreen year round, it's time to start thinking about extra protection for your face! This faded black and white striper hat is perfect for the beach or pool or any outdoor activity. And the way the colors are faded, it's really matchable with brights, browns, pastels, all sorts! Buy at Free People for $48.

Perched Bird Earrings

Perched Bird EarringsAwww, little birdies on a perch! Made of recycled silver, they're eco-friendly too! Buy at Buy Definition for the sale price of $60.
