Christina Aguilera Designs Car for Haiti

Christina Aguilera recently teamed up with Chrysler to create an eco-friendly car for a charity auction.  The Eco Style car features recycled materials in the interior and an economic engine. The designs include water-based Vanilla, cactus-colored seat-inserts and bamboo appliqué on the door trim and center console (all sustainable materials). It is now going to be auctioned off to raise money for Haiti.

H&M Releases Eco-Friendly "Garden Collection"

 

In an ironic turn of events- today H&M released their Eco-Friendly line. Hilarious, no?

The H&M "Garden Collection" is made of environmentally sustainable materials, and it all costs under $60. I'm in love with the red dress pictured above. Its just too bad that H&M can't find a nice way of disposing their old product! Such bad timing.

Eco Friendly Jewelry

 

I'm an accessory fiend and that is no secret! However, I never knew I could buy ecological jewelry that didn't consist of hemp. I didn't think to place 'repurposed' jewelry into that category, but it makes tons of sense! With that said, I'm very happy to introduce you to Elva Fields & Rebekah Green- two designers that are helping the planet through their eco friendly (and super cute) jewelry lines.

Elva Fields Jewelry (pictured above) prides itself on repurposing vintage materials and unused family heirlooms. The results are fantastic! (Available at elvafields.com, $196)

Rebekah Green keeps it chic and simple with pieces made of recycled gold and fair trade gemstones. 

Available at rebekahgreen.com, $30-$435

Shop Smarter

 

I can usually be spotted trekking around Manhattan with either a giant purse/mutliple bags. For some reason, I constantly have an excess of things that I need to schlep around. Whether its because I'm seeding celebs or on my way to drop samples off for a photoshoot- I need a bag that can hold everything in one place. While I do love those fine Italian Leather bags, it is important for me to have something that will be able to take a beating. Throw-anywhere canvas totes are a great option for those "errand" days.  Whether you want to make a statement, rock something funky or go glam- there is bound to be a style just for you!  

Where & How To Buy:

#1- Cafe Press | Mixtape

#2- Kenneth Cole |  Eco Tote

#3- PiperLime | Marc Jacobs- Jeep Peep

#4- BlueFly | YSL Canvas

#5- EcoBags | Printed Tote

#6- PiperLime | Marc Jacobs "Miss Marc"

Keepin' it oldschool

You remember ghetto blasters? The Joy of walking around with one of those monsters on your shoulder (and the strain of carrying one of those on your shoulder...)

Well, once upon 5 years ago the white bud phenomenon blew up at all your local train stations. You couldn't look around without seeing white strings flowing out of peoples ears. It looked like a headphone mafia.

So, the solution? Merge an old school classic with new technology...ta da

Modifying an old walkman was never this easy, and fashion forward.
