With summer slowly coming to a close, I find it ironic that some of the best t-shirts are now hitting the stores. One of those t-shirts happens to be Zooey and Love & Eight’s Organic Cotton Solar Powered Tee (one of a collection that was just added to the store from this line). These two established brands have teamed up for a “green project” to raise awareness about global warming and raise funds for the environmental group Healthy World, Healthy Child - a Los Angeles-based non-profit “dedicated to protecting the health and well being of children from harmful environmental exposures.” Part of the proceeds from each t-shirt sales goes to the organization; now if we could just get these brands to use green materials ALL the time, we’d be in business! (hint hint)

My favorite fashion time of the year has arrived! As the summer sun begins to cool, fall styles start to get integrated back into our wardrobes. Unfortunately, those random 70-80 degree days still pop up and surprise us. That means layering is the name of the game for the next month or two. Cute swingy dresses, like Perfectly Imperfect’s Organic Cotton Apron Dress, layer beautifully with a long sleeve shirt and some tall boots. As the temperatures continue to drop, the shirt can be replaced with a ribber turtleneck and some leggings under those boots will do wonders to help keep you warm and stylish at the same time.

With all the great summer sales and adventures, I’m finding my wallet to be lighter than ever. Indulging in a professional massage sounds like fun, but it’s just not in the cards these days (because they are maxed out). My skin, wallet, and psyche have all been saved thanks to the Pangea Organics Facial Mask.

For less than two large pizzas, you can treat yourself to a weekly natural, deep-cleansing mask. Exotic ingredients; acai, goji berries, and matcha; sooth, revitalize and harmonize your skin, no matter the type. So put the take-out joint on speed dial, turn off your phone, and forget about the world for a night - a little relaxation will do you good.

When was the last time you went cruising around in a ‘57 Chevy? Incomparable when it comes to fuel efficiency, there is no denying that this classic car is much more attractive than a good ‘ole Prius. To save on gas and carbon emissions without sacrificing style, all you need is one of Kim White’s handbags.

Made from never used, vintage automotive fabrics, you’ll be able to express your own unique personality and style with a purse that you can be sure few others (if any) have on their arm. Far from boring or tacky, a wide range of colors and patterns are available, most of which look far too lush to have ever been used for a car or truck, but dependably durable and long-lasting. As an added bonus (and good conversation starter with that cute guy), each bag is tagged with the year and make of the fabric, so you know exactly what car it was meant for.

Wedding, BBQ, birthday party, trip to the beach - no matter your plans for this sunny season, you’ll want to be clean shaven if you hope to make a good impression on, you know, whoever you happen to run into. A smooth shave is easier than ever to obtain, but warding off that unsightly razor burn is another story … well, it used to be. Herban Cowboy’s Organic After Shave Balm & Body Lotion provides your skin with the natural moisture it needs after a good trimming, without clogging your pores.

We are committed to the environment, human health and being certified organic. This means we use only those ingredients which are grown, produced and manufactured without using synthetic ingredients, pesticides, fumigants, irradiation, sewage sludge or toxic fertilizers. Our commitment to being 100% US Made, Sweatshop-Free, Cruelty Free & Vegan and using only Recycled/Recyclable materials & Soy Ink – all speak for themselves.

Made with refreshing carrot, cucumber, and collagen, this after shave is alcohol free and available in three different scents.

When packing for your long-awaited summer vacation, versatility is a big factor. Remember the trip last year, when you had to haul that heavy bag through the airport and you only ended up wearing five of the 20 things you packed? Time off is just that - a chance to forget about your day-to-day life and escape your usual commitments; the last thing you want to do is exhaust your body with hefty luggage.

Whether you are headed to the beach, a spa, or on an urban adventure, the Stewart+Brown Organic Cotton Open V Shell is a must-have top. With a loose, easy fit, this purple top features a unique, orchid print that will blend seamlessly into your wardrobe. For a day of shopping, pair it with your favorite jeans and sandals. Heading to the beach? Take this piece along to cover up when not in the water or munching on a snack of fresh fruit. For a night on the town, a pair of heels, a cute skirt, and a jeweled belt paired with this top will make you the belle of the ball.

For over the past 10 years, hoodies have been a mainstay in modern wardrobes. Looking stylish and being ready for just about any types of weather - rain, sun, wind, snow - is the great thing about these particular jackets. Summer brings toasty days and brisk nights, both of which are prefect for the Sameunderneath Men’s Bamboo Panel Hoody. From days at the beach to afternoon hikes and evening BBQs, good times will be maintained thanks to this swank, slightly stretchy, light weight bamboo beauty - all you need is a t-shirt and comfy pair of organic cotton jeans.

A theme song, poem, chant, words to live by; they all come back to one basic idea - a personal manifesto. Simple, positive encouragement has known to turn around even the gloomiest of my days, and I bet I’m not the only one. Wearing the LoveThisLife “You Rock” Tank in organic cotton will put you ahead of the game, reminding you all day of what a cool person you are. As a bonus, you’ll also provide your fellow public transportation riders with a bit of reading material, thanks to the printed text on the back, which reads:

LovethisLife…
is about celebrating the moment
and that we’re not guaranteed or owed another day
and how cool it is that what we hide
can actually be the fuel towards our glory
and that it’s not so bad being proven wrong

LovethisLife…
is about welcoming the blind turn
and the possibility that
there’s no such thing as coincidence
and that empathy is incredibly sexy
and that it’s never too late to
pick up a guitar or a paintbrush
or to make an amend or to make a new friend

LovethisLife…
could be about rekindling a past flame
or igniting a new one
or shapeshifting from a dreamer into a doer
or savouring the caress of a love long gone

LovethisLife…
means whatever it is you want it to mean because

LovethisLife…
is a celebration of you and your path

LovethisLife…
‘cuz it could go at any second

you rock.
