If you pay attention to fashion blogs, or keep a weather eye out for awesome street style, then you’ve probably already realized that rain boots, or “galoshes” are hothothot right now.

I’m still hand stitching upcycled fabric to used clothes I pick up at Goodwill. Which is why when I see true upcycling masters at work, I’m in awe. And, BrokenGhostCouture is one of those [...]

And there’s no doubt that using natural dyes is one of the safest, most environmentally-friendly ways to add some wonderful color and character to your clothes and fabrics. For instance, the marigold pictured above is common in many yards and gardens, [...]

I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about last night’s Oscars, and the actresses that took up Livia Firth’s Green Carpet Challenge.
Now, I’ve written about Ms. Firth several times on this blog; she’s the wife of actor Colin Firth. But she’s also just as well known for her commitment to sustainable fashion.
For the Oscars, Ms. [...]

If you’re at all into the green movement, then you likely have a pile of reusable shopping bags in your kitchen. I know I do. Some of mine are so cool that I actually hang them on the wall in my kitchen; not only does this decorate the wall, but it also helps me remember [...]
