Killspencer designs and makes a small line of high-quality bags in Los Angeles. Finally, something sustainable for the gents! Although, I know plenty of women who could rock these with panache.
I found out about this line via design blog Neu Black, and fell in love. Not only are the bags much sexier than your typical Cordura laptop bag, they’re made right here in Los Angeles. I am a huge fan of anything that keeps artisanal manufacturing jobs in the US. And if that’s not enough, two of the four materials they offer are dead stock and one is repurposed. Even the new material, a black waxed cotton, is made in the US, which is almost unheard of.
Thanks to EcoStiletto’s “Best of 2009″ post, I was able to catch a video of Julia Stiles that I previously missed. For anyone else who may have missed Julia’s breathtaking debut as an eco-friendly fashion designer, catch up to the rest of the eco-world by watching the following short film!

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know my new co-worker this past week. Sarah, a vegan and downright organic romantic, is on the hunt for super stylin’ vegan boots without the super expensive price tag. So, I’ve put on my internet hunting garb (the Popomomo Sleuthing Dress) and have come up with a nice range of vegan boot results- including two of my “not so inexpensive” favorites (a girl can dream, right?)
Sarah, this one’s for you… Read the rest of this entry »
On Saturday, the most influential woman in my life is getting married. The love that radiates between her and her hubby-to-be is intoxicating- inspiring me to treat not only my boyfriend, but everyone in my life with as much respect and adoration as she does.
With her wedding on my mind, I find my thoughts wandering to my current dream wedding dress from Seattle based designer, Wai-Ching.
Cork production methods continuously change, yet harvesting practices remain. Such a fine example of merging cultural respect with new technologies is Corx. This is a company in Sonoma, California with production in Portugal. There they make a new material, cork fabric. The fabric is organic and renewable, with characteristics similar to leather.

As I jump off the diving board, in a triple flip-touch my toes-twist and turn like pretzel formation, I gaze below me; my eyes fill with the beautiful sight of green, crisp money- aching for my touch. I slide into the fresh bills with very little splash- perfection- and begin to glide through the millions of dollars that belong to me. Tickling my face, caressing my legs, filling my nose with the scent of “no more financial struggle,” I smile in glee and bask in the glory of my pool of funds.
Then I wake up.

One of the largest challenges for those of us who have been using natural and organic products for a while has been the obstacle of finding these responsible beauty care lines. If the “green movement” has done anything, it has opened doors for eco-friendly companies previously seen as niche to be distributed at mass retail.
While some may have objections to these big box retailers, such as WalMart, Target and even department stores, like Macy’s, recently, they have brought affordable organic and natural beauty options to the mass market. I’ve spent a few years covering luxury products and all natural spa treatments at luxe spas and boutiques, but with the shift in the economy, it’s really nice to be able to cover readily available and in some cases now, more affordable alternatives. Here is a list of where I have spied some of my favorite paraben-free, phalate free, organic, natural, etc. brands and products.
Stella McCartney has long been a champion of vegan craftsmanship and high style. This holiday season, her keen eye for fashion and passion for socially conscious clothing have found their way into GapKids and BabyGap with an adorable line that has some adults asking if it’s okay to wear kids’ clothing.
According to a recent post at the LA Times Blog, the line has done so well that the designer will debut another collection this spring for the youth brands. A lifelong vegetarian, none of McCartney’s designs incorporate any leather or fur.
