Recently it seems that the latest trend in fashion is going green or being eco-friendly. Thanks to our pal Al Gore, there has been a surge in wanting to protect our environment, and switching your shopping choices to eco-friendly products is a positive first step.
There are several companies that are making it easier for you to go green. Ikea, Whole Foods, and even Target have some really cool canvas shopping bags that you can use beyond the grocery store. Try taking them with you to the mall, your local farmers market, or even the library to carry your books.
One of my favorite websites: www.whiteapricot.com has a catalog of websites that offer eco-friendly clothing and accessories, to include yoga and baby wear.
I also love the number of boutiques popping up everywhere that carry organic clothing and other fun, indulging products.
In a perfect world, I would live in a green community where everything was made of recyclable products to include my home and furniture, the power source would use only solar energy, and the grocery stores stocked nothing but organic and recycled products. I would drive a hybrid hydrogen car, and my entire wardrobe would be comprised of organic and environmentally safe fabrics.
Thankfully our environment is actually moving towards a world that closely resembles the above scenario. You don't have to be rich, like Kimora Simmons, (did anyone catch last weeks episode of Life in the Fab Lane?) to convert your life to being eco-friendly.

Jewelry for the Hip Individual
Well there is a new artist that has just recently hit the scene in Saint Louis, no I'm not talking about the music scene, I'm talking about fashion of course. Lol! Pieces by Peace is a new line of jewelry handmade by a Ms. Camille Peace. (Yes that is her real name, too cool!)
Pieces was first inspired by her mother's love of jewelry. Her mom was into diamonds and yellow gold, while Camille prefers silver and turquoise. The two women's taste differ but their love for jewelry is the same. Camille began making her own jewelry partly due to her non support of diamond mining in Africa. Copper, Gemstones, and Natural materials are what brings Pieces by Peace to life. Each piece is beautifully handcrafted and individualized. You can tell that there is passion behind her work.
I was personally drawn to Pieces by Peace because of the fun colors and eclectic edge each piece portrays. The prices are extremely agreeable as well. Check her out at www.peaceimages.etsy.com or her myspace www.myspace.com/peaceimages
Also look for her stuff at various festivals in and around the city of St. Louis, and www.peaceimages.net, the official website should be launching by the end of Summer!
