Natural Beauty to Feed Your Earth Day Guilt

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 at 4:00PM by Jessica B. Matlin

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Product Reviews, Must Haves, Beauty Tips




When I was in school, we marked Earth Day by getting down and dirty at the local pond, where we pulled out nearly everything short of a rubber boot.

Today, I buy stuff.

Sometimes it's for a noble cause: the best beauty companies are using their mega-profits to help protect and prettify our planet. And other times, I simply find that naturally based products completely sweep the floor with their more conventional (and more synthetic) peers.

So whether you plan to celebrate today by planting trees, cleaning streams, or simply surfing green sites on the Internet, here are some of the best Earth-friendly beauty products to get you started.

Earth Day Round-up

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 at 2:00PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Green Fashion

Earth from the apollo space craftThe fashion industry is promoting guilt-free shopping today in honor of Earth Day. Designers really want you to reduce your eco-footprint by purchasing their various wares. (Aww, isn't that sweet?) Here's how:

  • Target's first eco-friendly designer collaboration, Loomstate for Target, has hit stores just in time for you to pull together your edgy, organic-cotton look for Earth Day fetes.

  • Looking to add to your monogrammed luggage set? If you shop online at Louis Vuitton today, the luxury retailer will donate 15% of all purchases on their US website to The Climate Project. FYI, The Climate Project is an organization founded by Al Gore, who also helped invent the internet. (How's that for synergy?)

  • Pretty Little Thing NYC is selling a globe necklace to commemorate the planet's special day. The rest of the year, the globe revolves around you ... er, your neck. A portion of the proceeds from these babies are going to The Wilderness Society.

  • Did you know Donna Karan is a total natural wellness hippie? Check out this video of Donna explaining some of the techniques and benefits of holistic medicine and her new project Urban Zen. BTW, she's designed a bunch of awesome tees that benefit charity, available exclusively at Tonic.

  • Keds has revamped their classic kicks for Earth Day. Not only are their Green Label shoes made of organic cotton and recycled rubber, but for each pair sold, Keds plants a tree. Friday is Arbor Day people!

  • Anthopologie hooked up with Edun (the brainchild of Bono's wife Ali Hewson) for a line of Bee Tees. These 100% organic tees will bring awareness to the alarming disappearance of honeybees. All while making you look fashionable and socially-conscious, of course.

  • Don't throw out your old cosmetic containers. Origins has teamed up with Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford to launch a cosmetics recycling program. All Origins counters (even the ones inside department stores) will accept empty cosmetic containers from any brand.

Stella McCartney - "Being Called Sustainable is Not Sexy"

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 at 10:00AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Interviews, Green Fashion

Stella McCartney has made headway as crusader against animal cruelty and maintains a vegan fashion line and lifestyle, but despite her penchant for organic fabrics, don't feel compelled to call her a sustainable designer. "It's not very sexy sounding, is it," she retorted recently at a Neiman Marcus shopping event in San Francisco when it was suggested that she is the face of sustainable luxury. "We've never shouted about it, and until recently no one has really mentioned it except for journalists. If anything, people would ridicule us when it came up!"

"That said, naturally I'm proud of it, because that's where fashion is going," she continued. "It's the most modern thing you can do. It's just the way I work – fashion isn't separate from the rest of your life. When we can do something that is environmentally conscious in the collection, then we do. If it looks like crap, then we don't do it."

More of our Q&A with Stella after the jump:

Keds Green Label - Tip of the Day!

Posted Mar 7th 2009 at 2:00PM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Shoes, Style Tip of the Day

keds

In the name of going green, Keds has revamped its classic kicks to comply with a more eco-conscious company. The new Keds Green Label is, as you might have guessed, made of organic cotton and recycled rubber. But that's not all friends. In a fantastic collaboration, the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree for each pair of Green Label shoes sold. No better way to help a greater cause and indulge yourself at the same time. It is also a perfect way to celebrate upcoming Earth Day if you aren't the type to get out there and plant some trees on your own.

Loomstate: Organic casual

We were watching 30 Rock the other night and realized that those crafty types at General Electric had stretched Earth Day into Earth Week. The nerve. We're okay with it though, because we live every day like it's Earth Day. We also live every week like it's Shark Week. Carpe Diem is not lost on us.

It's not lost on Loomstate, either. "Loomstate was founded as a casual brand dedicated to creating demand for certified organic cotton using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production."

Alchemy Goods is all kinds of good

Posted Apr 22nd 2008 at 5:03PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Men, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


Alchemy Goods has a simple mission: "Turning useless into useful." Hence the name. Alchemy is the process of transforming matter. It hit its peak of popularity in medieval times, the age, not the restaurant, when turning lead into gold was all the rage.

Alchemy Goods isn't as obsessed with gold as their forerunners, rather they strive to turn "something of lesser value into something of greater value." Sure, they're a business and like to rake in a bit of the green, but they're much more interested in producing it- green that is. The emphasis is on the ecological not the economical.

Seattle based Kate Quinn Organics, previously known as Earth Organic Baby Basics, is a parent's dream. That is assuming said parent wants "the softest, most natural materials" for their baby's comfort, and "the highest quality design and construction, and most importantly, the hope of a cleaner, kinder earth." If the parent wants all that, and you know that they do, then they can't go wrong with Kate Quinn.

The designs are created using "simple, elegant lines" and are available in nature-inspired hues to highlight the natural beauty of a child.

Keeping it Simple

Simply put, Simple brand shoes have always ruled, but their ecoSNEAKS and GreenToe (Green Piggies for the kiddies) lines are so fantastic that we feel a bit guilty wearing anything else.

Simple started out as a "stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes." They claim to have learned a few things along the way, and we are inclined to believe them. They say the biggest lesson thus far is this: "HOW we make our shoes is just as important as WHY we make them."
