So, though LA fashion week is widely regarded as the black sheep/village idiot of fashion weeks worldwide, I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun it could be to sit front row at a show, a priviledge otherwise reserved for superstars in New York or Paris. Three shows to be exact, and though they weren’t Chanel or Prada, they weren’t without their hits either. Some of my favorite pieces included:


Jeremy Scott’s sexy silk dress and creative yellow pencil skirt. I think I’d forego the constuction hats and trash can lids though…

Evidence of Evolution’s comfy looking t-shirt dresses looked like must-buys to me, though then again, knowing fashion right now, they could very well cost $300.

And last but not least, though I’m not usually a fan of glorified prom dresses, some of the the tailoring and fabulous colors that paraded down the runway at Dina Bar El were really wonderful. Other than a select few however, most of her line was a bit too ’saccharine’ for me.

I happened across a fabulous site today that offers nothing but eco-friendly home alternatives. From salvaged wood furniture to soft carpets made of reused sweaters, Viva Terra offers some trully stunning examples of how one can be stylish and eco-centric. Just read some of the descriptions for their products and you’ll be awed with just how innovative some of the things they make are. Some of my favorites include:

These spectacular Recycled Metal Branch Candle holders.

These Salvaged Wood Nesting tables.

This Edison kitchen table made from actual floor planks from a recently demolished factory owned by Thomas Edison

And this beautiful recycled Railroad tie dining set.
Day by day, living green has become easier and more stylish! Don’t forget to check out their non-wood furniture as well!
