BOOK WE LOVE: style, naturally

Style, Naturally: The Savvy Shopping Guide to Sustainable Fashion and Beauty by Summer Rayne Oakes (Chronicle Books) is a permanent fixture on my desk (and let me tell you, that's a competitive spot). Summer Rayne Oakes, fashion model, eco advocate, and resident expert on Treehugger.com and the Discovery Network's Planet Green, shares her fresh, fun and authentic take on eco-fashion, proving it's not an oxymoron. Breaking the book into sections such as "Bags," "Denim," and "Face," while including columns like "Designer Profile" and "Eco-Stylephile," the author makes it simple to find exactly what you're looking for. Summer Rayne introduces her reader to up-and-coming designers, and presents innovative, environmentally-friendly steps being taken by more established brands. With the immense popularity of the green movement, this book was published at the right time, but it proves that sustainable fashion and beauty is not just a fad; it's here to stay!

HCZ is Reading boho: A New American Spirit


boho is "a green fashion lifestyle magazine centered around the freedom to express your own personal style and live the life you want to." We received our first issue the other day, and already adore this beautiful, artistic, truly one-of-a-kind magazine. The boho girl is fashionable, but also cares about the environment and making the world a better place. These values certainly align with Hip Chick Zine's, and it's nice to see a magazine like this on newsstands! boho is printed on 100% recycled, post-consumer waste paper and uses soy-based inks. It is completely UV-coating free. Check out this inspiring publication. Click Here
