it's a Californian brand, actually from bay area, that designs very cute and comfortables underwear made with organic cotton. The prints are created by designers and artists that collaborates with the brand.

They also opted by a respectful line of production, keeping their fabrics in Berkeley, so all made in USA.

The price is about 15$ to 20$, but it easy to find great offers on the shop online.!!!









High Fashion Eco Dresses!!!!

Not only a cotton t-shirt or accessories, but the green friendly fashion can get to the top of haute couture. That was the idea of the designer Leila Hafzi when she decided to create her own line.




The collection was introduced for the first time in Stavanger, Norway, in 1997. And her goal since the begging remains the same: to represent eco and ethical trade in the fashion industry on a global basis.





When I first saw Leila's dresses felt like being a part of a fairy tale. I loved the soft colors and the atmosphere of magic that the dresses bring out.

Tom's

Being green is also thinking about other people, after all we all are part of the Earth. :!

Following this concept an american traveller called Blake Mycoskie founded the brand TOMS, a company that match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of shoes given to a child in need. Their slogan is: One for One.
Check out this line designed by the artist Tyler Ramsey.

And the new upcoming line is the vegan one with no animal by-products. With some style and a nice out fit they can look really cool and trendy!!! you can buy it online and they are not expensive at all! about 60$ to 80$.









eco beauty!!


Another cool brand of beauty products that you can trust:

NATURA


I've been using their products since I was really young. This brazilian (my sweet home) eco friendly beauty brand was born with the concept to respect nature and to offer to its costumers a variety of products made with natural elements such as fruits, seed and natural oils.

Today, it is the biggest Brazilian cosmetic companies and they are present in 7 countries of latin America and France. A good example of a company that worked hard to put together at the same dimension 3 different factors: economic, social and environmental.



You should try it.
I suggest the line Natura Ekos.








I love the cacau legs and feet lotion.

!!!


think green as much as you can

Even after months without writing, I kept researching about the eco-friendly industry and the marketing that has been created on top of this subject.

Today, became so cool to say that you respect the nature and the Earth even with you don't leave it in your everyday life. People usually don't pay attention on the clothes they're buying, on the food they're eating, and so on.

And all I would like with this blog is to somehow stimulate people to watch out for what and how much they are consuming. Respecting their needs but with the consciousness that we need to be more respectful with our mother Earth, because it's dying in front of our (blind) eyes.

And it's not an advertising campaign or an exaggerated warn of a non profit organization.

Unfortunately it's the true.
