It Doens't Have To Look Organic?

**Zooey and Love & Eight "Think Green Be Cool" Hoodie made of Bamboo and Cotton

It's one thing to change all of the light bulbs in the house to those really cute swirly ones that save a tons of energy {by changing one you can save $61 and 812lbs of CO2 emissions annually}, but when you start asking fashionistas and fashionisto's alike to start giving up their Marc Jacobs and Louboutins you're crossing into totally new territory. Sort of like asking the jock in the locker room to quit being a jock type territory. Which got me to thinking, all of the organic and eco-friendly clothing that I have seen in the past years makes me want to change everything in my house and refrigerator to eco-friendly just so I can keep my compulsive shopping habit at Neimans with their plethora of leather pumps, in-organically dyed dresses and pure baby-soft cotton. So I took upon the task of finding clothing that is not only stylish but sustainable and wearable. Because as we have seen, just because it's organic and sustainable doesn't necessarily means its wearable.

VES-PA To Work (Or Bike)

As seen yesterday, The F*Word has dedicated a whole week to Earth Day. By us being uber nerdy, tree-hugging, earth freaks and all; we wanted to show everyone out there how to be fashionable without causing a ton of damage to the earth. Now, the climatic point: Don't you hate getting up every morning, dragging yourself out of bed only to get stuck on the 405 {if you're in LA}, ALL of Manhattan or whatever street that helps you access where you're going a tad bit easier only to have it clogged by tons of other people? There's no denying that spring is here so why not opt for a more earth conscious ride around town. Besides everybody's doing it. {I know, I can dish out the peer pressure}

Remember This?

Do you guys remember this tote that cause such an uproar, it created several spawns? Yes, well I still remember it like it was yesterday. And if you wanted Anya Hindmarch's tote from last year, you still won't be able to get it this year unless you search ebay or craigslist. But there is always hope and while I decided not to overwhelm the masses with choices, I just chose one representing the most artistic and another for the most impactful statement {see the above bag for last years winner} Enjoy!

"For Like Ever" Tote by Village {Most Impact}

Keren Richter for Vans Artistic Tote {Obviously, Most Artistic}

Juicy Couture "Go Green" Tote {Go Figure Award, not something to be proud of btw}
