SustainStyle: Vintage Inspired, Mixed Tapes, Re-Purposed + More
by 1plus1 on 03.26.08
Welcome to SustainStyle, a weekly digest from the writers at 1plus1, a blog dedicated to eco-friendly fashion. SustainStyle runs every Wednesday.
This week at 1plus1 we enjoyed our spring break with KellyB's and Melissa shoes in a poolside installment of DRESS ME. Don't forget the sunscreen!
Our living space was in a serious need of a facelift, so rather than paint our walls a new shade we decided to save time and effort with these wall stickers by Modern Wall Graphics.
At Sodafine we found a beltlace made from jute rope and wooden beads, that works as a belt or a necklace.
Small Axe proved that some things never go out of style, with a vintage-inspired eco line of dresses, blouses and bathing suits. Then Popomomo encouraged us to look into the future with dress shapes so fresh we are not sure if they have a style. And Edun had us going gaga over their new T-shirt dress: it's what we plan to be living in this spring and summer!
The Green Set introduced us to our new favorite "mixed tape" with Design Boom's cassette-wallet hybrids. Staying in recycling mode, Mary Catherine Garrison's handmade notebooks got us thinking about what we could "re-purpose" in our own house.
And Freerice.com kept us amused while we brushed up on our vocabulary and donated rice to people in need.
xo.
