I might have been a stylist in one of my previous lives – I really enjoy finding just the right accessory…  This week’s small, edited collection of planet-friendly wear is focused on just that — eco conscious accessories.  June seems to be a popular time for gift-giving, so you might want to keep these little ditties in mind.

Nothing’s better than the good old days.  Let the sunshine in. Just in time for outdoor concerts and music festivals — a tidy way to tuck all those valuable away, yet keep them handy. Happy Cow has a slew of hip beltbags and whatnot at the ready for all you closet hippies, (like me).

The cows are happy because the leather used is all recycled scrap material, no animals were harmed in the making of these goods.

(just above) Jessica Reiss of Vancouver, hand crafts lightweight jewelry from sterling silver and recycled materials, mostly beads from pre-loved jewelry. If you’re in possession of some baubles that you’d like to recycle, rather than toss into a landfill you can contact Jessica, and she’ll like take them off your hands.  (note to self:  dig-up that huge box of single earrings)…recyclers receive a $15 gift certificate to put toward any of her designs.  Find these sweet earrings and lots more @ ecocessories.ca

Right here in historic downtown Sarasota is a jewel of a place, Juno and Jove, with eco chic fashion and accessories for both men and women. I must confess, I love these mod shades, vegan shoes and hot hot hot clutch.  With my birthday around the corner, I know just where I’ll be heading in the morning… with my fabulous hub.

That’s a wrap for now – have a fine relaxing weekend, and remember to keep that carbon footprint small. We’ve only got one Earth, as far as I know.
