Summer days and nights should be all about looking and feeling as relaxed as possible, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose sight of our eco fashion style.
An easy way to make a statement or finish an outfit is with a sweet, well-placed clutch or straw bag. Karen Lukacs upcycles pre-loved clothing and materials into fresh accessories. Each of her pieces is unique.
Add a dash of sizzle to your summer style –the small clutch is fabricated from a repurposed necktie & vintage button, ($67.50). And the chocolate brown woven raffia bag is embellished with turquoise-beaded ribbon and a lively polka dot interior, ($120). Find @ etsy.com
Seekers of eco friendly furniture may find that most of today’s sustainable options are fairly limited and pricey. Surprisingly, these designer creations seem fairly affordable.
Inmod claims to offer eco friendly options – these items from their Eco Mod Collection caught my eye. The Tempura Chair is made of oak and canvas; Tokara Table Lamp, materials are unknown via the Web site; and the Masago Lamp, which is made of rattan seems the most eco minded.
If you’re interested in purchasing, I’d suggest asking the company for more details regarding the “eco friendly” aspect — as there as many shades of green — and as far as designer furniture goes, these pieces seem relatively, reasonably priced.
(Chair, $2100. Tokara Table Lamp, $997.50. Lamp, $1312.50.)
Take a combination of white and yellow handpicked vintage buttons, connect them via a purple wire, hang the necklace from a 26-inch antique copper chain and you have this lovely Daisy Days Vintage Button Necklace.
Each of Button Soup Jewelry’s pieces is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation. The buttons used are recycled, vintage buttons and do show some wear from their previous life.
An inspiration for your own DIY necklace, perhaps?
