Posted Jun 24th 2008 at 9:05AM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Clothing, Men, Green Fashion


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

Moral Fabric is a t-shirt company that originated in Texas. Their passion is to make t-shirts that "focus on the psychedelic art movement of the 60's and 70's, ancient Middle Eastern mosaic patterns, perception vs. reality, spiritual ideologies, and the intelligent designs of Mother Nature." You know, cool stuff.

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


Have you ever fallen in love with a bag? It doesn't have to be an It Bag to be worthy of your admiration -- sometimes you just come across a handbag that encapsulates your personal style (or, at least, what you perceive to be your personal style that day). And that's when you know you have to have it.

Rubie Green believes that natural doesn't mean boring, and that your home's interior is what makes it yours. And so, they've created a line of upholstery fabrics that are made of 100% certified organic cotton, which they whiten without using bleach and print in the United States.

Dante Beatrix: Bags for kids and the moms that love them

Posted Jun 10th 2008 at 2:35PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


Dante Beatrix makes bags. They make backpacks for children big and small and stylish totes for the moms walking briskly beside them.

The 'big kid eco pack' is designed for kids ages 5-10, and is "made of PET (100% recycled plastic bottles) with canvas trim, a naturally biodegradable fabric." They feature themes of peace, love and recycling. It's like understanding, but not as funny.

Is your kid a bit younger? No problem, what the 'little kid backpack' lacks in sustainable material it makes up for in creative design and durability. It's created to fit the 2-5 set and will hold all the crayons they can break.

Positively Organic is positive for kids

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion




We've made no secret of our love for organic clothing. We also enjoy children and fluffy cute stuff. Positively Organic feels likewise and has created a line of clothing for children that is good for the Earth and frankly, cute as a button.

The company was created by a husband and wife team through a series of circumstance and life-altering experiences. It seems to be working out for them.

They run their company based on "the idea of doing well by doing good."

Once organic, Twice Shy: T-shirts of the day

Once bitten, Twice Shy, baby. We don't know what that has to do with the company or t-shirts, but we weren't going to be able to go any further in this post without throwing those lyrics out there. The song is just too damn catchy.

Twice Shy features "organic fashion for sinners everywhere." You know who you are. They also have a line, Fig, featuring organic styles for children. Kids, of course, are free of sin, ornery as they can be. They still need organic clothes though.

Organic t-shirts from Target

If we had to pick one store that we couldn't live without it would most likely be Target. Sure, other stores sell fancier things and have more ambiance, but from the minute we buy our customary bag of popcorn and Icee for ONE DOLLAR, we're in and we're hooked. They have everything in there. Seriously, we looked.

Coffin Couches: Green and creepy

Posted Apr 29th 2008 at 6:11PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Haute Home, Style in the News, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


Have you ever seen a piece of furniture that you were just dying to have? Be careful what you ask for. Coffin Couches make sofas from actual recycled caskets. We're not sure how to tie that together, but it felt right.

Coffin Couches is the ultimate in green furniture design. The couches are made from coffins that they acquired from funeral homes. Apparently, due to health and safety issues, it is illegal for the general public to purchase used coffins, so the company was able to approach the funeral directors with the mindset of recycling.

Just because Earth Day is over doesn't mean we should go back to stomping our carbon footprints all over the carpet. The thing is that Earth Day is every day and if we're not careful Earth may be the next Pluto. Hey, it could happen!

That's why we're pleased to bring you the 'Trash Talk' shoe from Nike. Yes, Nike. Big companies can have a heart, too.
