I have seriously gone through what seems like 100 web sites to find bamboo clothes that weren't just t-shirts and jeans. I mean those items are staples but I need something a little sassier and cuter in my wardrobe. How can you expect a girl to survive in an eco-friendly way without cute clothes to pick from? Then I found the PERFECT black dress to get me through the holidays and guess what? Bamboo. That's right. I'm am so happy right now. It's slinky and sexy but can easily be dressed for day with a short jacket and boots and then off goes the jacket and on come the heels for night.

This slinky black dress is perfect for a boisterous night out. The single long sleeve, is sure to draw the limelight and the scrunched midwaist is incredibly flattering, even if you have the perfectly fit tummy. The surplus leather wrist cuff snaps off for easy removal.

Are you trying to stop using plastic shopping bags? Me too! But I almost always forget my bags in the car and quite frankly they are pretty ugly. The check out people look at me strangely sometimes when I ask them to just load my stuff into my cart because I carry the items out and then transfer them into my bags in the car. If only there was an easier way to remember my shopping bags.

Some of the cute bags are pretty expensive and it's hard for me to justify the expense verses the convenience of just taking the plastic. This combo has three bags and they crumple up into a pouch so I can actually just leave them in my purse and have them when I need them. Click on the link to check them out. This site also has a whole section of eco-friendly handbags that are super cute - I'll be posting more from here for sure.

This designer combines poetry with t-shirt design. I have to warn you though, not all of their clothes are organic cotton so you have to search a little harder to find a 'green' version on their site - but the discovery is worth it. Click on the pictures to be taken to a version for either men or women.

The tag line of "from someone's feet to your neck" wasn't exactly enticing. In fact it sounded kind of gross. But this is a really cute necklace and it's super light and I cannot tell you how many compliments I get on it whenever I wear it. It isn't one piece but a series of bead-like pieces put together with just enough sparkle. Mine did not look exactly like the picture but that's part of its charm.

One of my best friends is having a baby! So for her shower a few friends and I went in on a gift basket for her and the little one. Diapers, ointments, shampoos and NO baby clothes. Every mother knows that those little clothes that everyone buys you is always outgrown so fast there's no point. Nope we bought her... wait for it.... a robe!

There's the hospital stay with those beautiful open gowns and then there's the nighttime feedings and the mornings before coffee after the nighttime feeding. Let's face it, that robe will see years of wear.

Their description is: This amazingly soft and scrumptious robe is like a soft furry teddy bear hug to greet you after a relaxing shower or massage.

Don with full confidence that what you are wearing is the best nature has to offer.
