Divina 'Mola' Boot by The Aware Network


I am so enthralled with these 'Divina' boots from the Australian-based Aware Network. They are uniquely crafted from recycled, patterned 'mola' textile art by Kuna Indian women indigenous to Colombia, South America.


Molas are hand-made using a reverse appliqué technique. Several layers (usually two to seven) of different-coloured cloth (usually cotton) are sewn together; the design is then formed by cutting parts of each layer away. The edges of the layers are then sewn down; the finest molas have extremely fine stitching, made using tiny needles.


The Divina Boot is 100% animal-friendly vegan and fair trade. Each pair is artfully designed with 10% of profits going directly to charity.

Marianne Kemp's Horse Hair Weaving




I was really floored recently when dear friend Annouk Post of Hiphonest turned me on to the amazing textile work of Dutch artist and designer Marianne Kemp. Looking beyond the texture and strands of fiber is inherent to Marianne's exquisitely crafted work. Why? Because she uses delicate and gossamer strands of Mongolian horse hair to create sculptural, wall, and interior installations. Kemp's portfolio site, Horse Hair Weaving, provides an alluring glimpse into an environmentally-charged world inhabitated by forms such as 'crawling hedgehogs, golden ringlets, gods, and caterpillars'.

Marianne Kemp's work will be on view in 'Beauty Can Save The World' at thekey, the sustainable design fashion showcase at Berlin Fashion Week.

Haute Bracelets, Necklaces and Rings with Natural Elements

There are some pieces of jewelry that you simply can't afford to be without, while others, you might admire from afar, but decide that the trend just doesn't fit your style or your budget. This season, one of the most coveted (and affordable) looks of the moment is jewelry that comes from the elements of nature. Bracelets, necklaces, rings with shells and natural unpolished stones are not only beautiful to look at, they are unique as well. With no two that are alike, each style setting maven will be able to create her own style statement with the best that nature has to offer.
Stone bracelets
Recently, Michelle Obama sent the trend watchers into a frenzy when she wore a vintage multi-tier necklace of faux pearls and rhinestones. The 12 interwoven strands of pearls were ivory and light blue, adding a perfect contrast to her shimmery black evening gown. Mrs. Obama's style is often in the spotlight, as she seems to know just the right jewelry to create style that is both classic chic and modern mom. For summer, try a twist on her style with multi-strand candy colored shell necklaces in hues like orange and turquoise, and try fashionable bracelets with natural stones. These stunners look great when paired with sundresses, or can be as easily worn to dress up a white t-shirt and jeans. Throw on a pair of metallic or neutral sandals, and you'll be ready to go.
Stone necklaces
Natural stones such as topaz and amethyst look great with warm summer colors like golden yellow. Top sellers of the season include sterling silver necklaces with large stone pendants, chunky cocktail rings with unpolished rocks, fashionable bracelets with golden yellow sparks. Wear with polished pieces for a funky bit of flair, or channel your inner bohemian rhapsody by layering neutral pieces and fabrics. Add at least one natural piece of jewelry to your current jewelry stash to stay up with the latest and greatest style scene and create a unique look that is all your own.

Vilte's Lithuanian Felt Magic




I am so thrilled to have recently made contact with Vilte Kazlauskaite, a super talented eco fashion-forward felter from Lithuania. Her one-of-a-kind felted wool, silk, flax and other natural material creations are totally handmade and part of a long tradition of fiber art in her exotic homeland.

Vilte states, "I started my journey into magical world of felt about three years ago. I was a psychologist and dance therapist before then. Felting became an important part of my life. I got so into it that I also published a book, Veltinis ("Felt") about the unique felting technique in Lithuania, the first book of its kind covering this form of textile art."

I love the spirit of Vilte's designs and the sustainable alchemy that she so effortlessly conjures. Her entire collection is an inspiring example of the future of contemporary fashion being rooted in indigenous methods and earth friendly goodness.

CZ Jewelry for Your Big Day

Every bride wants to shine on her big day. She wants to feel the most beautiful she ever has, and be the center of attention. Of course, finding the perfect dress is where it all starts, but when it comes to accessories, sometimes it's hard to narrow it down to the right pieces. Thanks to the growing trend of CZ jewelry, now every bride can afford to look and feel like a princess on her big day.CZ JewelryYour wedding is a time for opulence, elegance and glamour. Your hair and makeup should compliment your overall look, and your accessories should help you complete a perfectly polished outfit. Don't be afraid to go a little over the top. After all, this is the one day that you can go for extreme jewelry and makeup that is more noticeable. One of the best ways to do this is by trying CZ jewelry in statement pieces.

While celebs like Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria Parker may be able to afford the largest diamonds on their wedding day, you can still imitate their look with pieces that are made from high quality CZ. And best of all, your guests won't be able to tell the difference. For clear CZ jewelry, choose pieces that go with your overall theme. Try a pair of starburst drop earrings for a nighttime affair, or opt for another type of art deco set with modern cuts and symmetrical elegance. This type of CZ jewelry looks phenomenal with black bridesmaid dresses and orchids, which is one of the hottest wedding trends of the season.

If you're going for more of a romantic look, don one signature piece of jewelry, like oversize floral pendant necklaces or multi-tiered necklaces dripping in rhinestones. Just remember, this is your time to shine, so don't hold back.

BOA Studio's Organic Pamuk for Summer






Now that the solstice has officially arrived, there is no better way to celebrate the chic rays of summer than with some super cool organic 'pamuk' (cotton) by BOA Studio. Istanbul-based designers Sena Çevik and Seray Cengiz call their latest collection, MOTHER EARTH, FATHER MOON or DOĞA ANA, AY BABA. And as usual, their original hand-drawn illustrations truly highlight the magic of their sustainable style whimsy. I so love it when real green fashion looks and feels like art that is irresistibly collectible.

The Uniform Project




If you are not yet following The Uniform Project, now is the time to get on board with this clever and sustainable enterprise.

1 Dress. 365 Days. A fashion philanthropy project.

"Starting May 2009, I have pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies.


The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India."

Hair Raising Tales from Bulgaria


So folks have been asking me to post photos of street chic moments from my outings here in Sofia. These shots are forthcoming, as well as coverage on my recent chats with young Bulgarian designer Evgeni Petkov, who will be showing his first eco couture gown at EcoChic Geneva this October. But in the interim, I could not resist these cool picts demonstrating just how over-the-top the stylists here are. Check out these 'hair raising coifs' featured at a celebration for the launch of Renault Megane in Bulgaria. Talk about hybrid style!
