2010 April

Romp Around the Clock

Apr. 29, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Yup, I’m a sucker for rompers and this one by Prairie Underground is my designated favorite for spring. Made from soft organic cotton french terry, it sports pockets that don’t make your hips look too big, a cute drawstring to cinch in your waist, and gives you shape and floaty sleeves that easily cover upper arms […]

Gap’s ‘Recycle Your Blues’ Campaign Weighs In

Apr. 28, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Last month’s call from the Gap to bring in an old pair of jeans to receive 30 percent off a new pair was a great marketing campaign in more ways than one. With more than 1,000 Gap stores across the U.S. and Canada participating in the drop-off, I’m sure there are people who would like […]

Channeling 80’s Madonna

Apr. 27, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Man, I love sunglasses. I have a whole glove compartment filled with vintage glasses from flea markets all over the country. I have glasses that channel my mother in 1976, big Jackie-O’s and some slick pairs that just make me look like I’m ridiculously wealthy. But 80’s inspired? Not yet. These two eco-pairs by icu […]

Earth Day gets us thinking about our first. You know, our first beach garbage pick-up, Earth Day concert, camping under the stars, organic meal – and for us fashion gals, clothing! My first?

Mika Machida Is…Mika Organic

Apr. 19, 2010 / by Amy DuFault / 0 Comments

Designer Mika Machida Mika Machida’s eponymous line is the poster child for all that is good in fashionably organic (not to mention graphic design). You may have seen some of her signature tops infiltrating the net for some time now, like her butterfly or elephant tops. There’s a reason why this is happening. The Whale […]

There is an abundance of great vintage jewelry available on the Internet, but this one completely rocks. Look at it! With this Zuni inspired bracelet – designed in the 70’s (says the site) – […]

In a special four-part Dumbing Down American Design miniseries, EcoSalon takes a closer look at American design and considers different perspectives from leaders in the design and fashion world.
