Earth Day 2013- Go green in fashion, beauty, and home

For Earth Day 2013, I decided to feature some sustainable items for beauty, fashion, and home. According to the Christian Science Monitor, Americans are far less eco conscious than they were in 1971. Has the digital age taken over our concern for the resources that will be available for the future? I know I have to do my part more than just buying toothpaste and eco-friendly lip balm. On a fashion note, I hope that more designers and retailers will make more affordable sustainable fashions.As society becomes more eco conscious there are ways we each can contribute to making the world more sustainable.  Just think if every person makes a step in doing one thing or making that one move, it will be a step in the right direction towards saving the planet, it will make a large effect for future generations.

Save the trees is a long standing motto amongst the eco conscious set. With the world trying to save itself from self-destruction, more and more designers are looking to incorporate natural products to designs. Although these products may cost more, they are an investment style wise as well as art item. Wood is not a substance most would think of as a wearable item, but then again it dates back to an original fashion accessory, the shoe. 


I think wood accessories are going to be an item to covet this year. Luckily, I already have some wood accessories in my closet. I selected some items that may be inspirational in your wood fashion finds for the year. Take heed they never go out of style , so don't be afraid to make a large purchase or for a perfect fit to your budget, purchase a small ticket item. I have some budget conscious pieces below I personally own listed as well.
