Stripes are what it’s all about for summer 2008. This striped tunic by California Rising is the perfect beach cover-up. A lightweight organic cotton hoodie with a cozy front pocket pouch is just the thing to fend off the evening chill after a long day in the sun. Beyond style and comfort, California Rising produce all their garments with a focus on sustainable fabrics and low-impact dyes. Their entire line is lovingly made in the USA.

If you haven’t already heard the beautiful story of Toms Shoes yet, they donate one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair you buy…Not that any extra motivation is needed whatsoever to grab yourself a pair of these cute and comfy canvas slip-ons. They’re the ultimate summer shoe for the boardwalk or the boardroom, the nightclub or the yacht club.

These nautical pieces smack of the French Riviera, making a statement that is both bold and absolutely classic. Make sure to earn your stripes before the summer’s over.
