A Photo Collage of Summer Styles I Love
Last season, I made a little inspiration board of stylish spring crushes, and now in the same spirit I’d like to share a small photo collage of styles I love this summer:
Clockwise:
- The Luna Bikini via Green is Black, is a repurposed lycra bikini, with tie back halter triangle cupped top, and bottoms with a gathered tie in the middle back. They are made in the USA and sweatshop free.
- From Nau on, and thank goodness, Nau is back in business this summer with their classic looks in full effect this season, especially with their July specials. Celebrate the return of this brilliant organization with comfortable styles and cozy items half off all month.
- Moo Shoes presents Novacas “Claire” summer sandals 100% free of animal products: “We see you wearing this beautiful sandal with a diaphanous blue wrap dress on the Riviera. Its adjustable ankle strap will keep your feet looking classy long after sunset. Plus, it’s so light-weight we doubt anyone will notice you tip-toeing home at dawn.”
- Loup Charmant’s (a.k.a. the charming wolf) PURE collection is made from 100% organic cotton, check out this simple bikini made with love.
- Wildlife Works offers a sexy,“soy-organic cotton blend, the puff-sleeve V neck that boasts a sophisticated fit, with a soft drape and about 4% stretch. The shirt falls on the hip.”
I had never heard of Loup Charmant’s before, thanks so much for sharing this. The designs are really charming and beautiful – i love that none of it seems to be dyed either. I wish they would put up their “about us” page though, to learn more.
Awesome Leslie
Thank you for the note.
Loup Charmant was recently featured on the
Project Earth Day runway and they made a mini about page for LC here: http://www.projectearthday.com/Designers/Loup%20Charmant/page66.html
stating: “Loup Charmant is about this connection to self, others and our natural world as well as our responsiblity to care for these treasures in our lives. so, live peacefully. live well. and create the most beauty you can in the world.”
So interesting, can you tell me more about Wildife Works clothing line?
Sure, and thanks for the comment!
The new evening collection (see top above) features graphics that are inspired by the natural habitat on their wildlife sanctuary in Kenya. Each Wildlife Works purchase helps them build a brighter future for endangered wildlife and their natural habitats. It is what they call Consumer Powered Conservationism: http://www.wildlifeworks.com/mission/mission.html
Furthermore, WW reminds us of the two key issues facing wild habitats. One major problem is the destruction of natural habitat by humans, and the other is poaching by poor, hungry rural people for food or money~
“Wildlife Works is addressing both of these issues head on. We use the proceeds from your purchases to protect wildlife by placing large areas of wilderness under conservation, like we did with our Rukinga Sanctuary in Kenya. Of equal importance, we provide jobs for the people who share their land and resources with wildlife, so they can feed their families and send their children to school without destroying animals and their habitats.”
