Ok, remember when I wrote months ago about green fashion designer Emma Watson’s new partnership with Alberta Ferretti? Well, back when I first heard the news the two weren’t giving one any hints, at all, about what the new line was going to look like.

So, I’ve been on a shoe kick lately I know. But now that Spring is inching her way closer and closer, I’ve got them on the brain. I’ve banished my TerraPlana eco-boots to the back of the closet, and I’m ready to start browsing this year’s funnest eco shoes and sandals.

Have you ever been shopping for a shirt or pair of jeans and been confused about just how eco friendly that piece of clothing is? I know I have.
