I know that I am always peeved to come across a range of beautiful clothing that know will not suit me. What is unique about the Brook There website is not only the fact that it offers a great selection of clothing but that you can shop by style, by color or by fabric. It is a saving grace for us critical fashionistas who are specifically looking for something in green or something made from bamboo.<\/p>\n<p>The Fall 2008 collection from Brook There, called &#8220;tangled&#8221;, was designed around the both literal and metaphoric meanings of the word. Dresses are constructed from strips of fabrics which result in a tangled mass around the hem. Organic wool coats have broadly curving shapes along the center front, and extensive pin-tucked stitching is used to emphasize necklines and curving insets. If you are already set to dive into next year, then you even have a sneak preview of Brook&#8217;s Spring 2009 collection.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookthere.com\"><em>www.brookthere.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the headline news continues to portray doom and gloom in the financial markets, there is nothing like sustainable fashion to brighten up your day.
