We don’t espouse mindless consumption, but we do occasionally like to perk up our wardrobes and spirits with a stylish indulgence. Here’s this week’s small, edited collection of eco savvy fashion finds, many of which have a common thread…

(above) – We begin today at the bottom, with highly breathable and thermal regulating eco “shorts” – made from merino wool, from finisterre.

The bubble look, in soy/ organic cotton/ Spandex; Sequoia dress (on sale) at Elroy.
With rolling paper dispenser, (how convenient), this street smart Summer Tech Jacket is wind and water resistant; made from a hemp/organic cotton combo and on sale now @ Amsterdam-based, Hemp Works.

Brides can walk down the aisle in a eco chic style without breaking the bank – the limited edition vintage lace bustier and long straight skirt @ deborahlindquist.com.
Guys can do the sustainable walk in highly renewable, 100-percent hemp pants (black or white) @ hempworks.

Confurtable Gloves (fingerless/mitten overlay) in hemp/organic cotton/soy knit; in snow, black, raspberry or atlantis (on sale now) at hempworks
