20 Seasonless Green Accessories to Wear Year-Round

Hand-loomed silk and wool shawl from eBay’s World of Good. When World of Good by eBay asked me to choose my favorite eco-fashion picks from their fair trade marketplace — packed with thousands of products that positively influence people and planet — for a feature on their site, I jumped at the chance to go “virtual window shopping” and pick accessories that accent outfits, regardless of seasonal trends or personal style; I honed in on clothing made by hand with high-quality, local and traditional textiles, crafts that create employment in underserved areas, and accessori… Read the full story on TreeHugger

The City Recap: From Trash to Treasure

Olivia Palmero doesn’t care what Erin Kaplan’s opinion is. This was a central theme of The City last night, as it is in every episode. But rarely are feelings in this feud declared so overtly. Talk about taking it to a new level! Meanwhile, will Roxy Olin actually prove her worth? Amazingly, these much-maligned aspiring fashionistas both boosted their stock in a solid episode of The Hills spinoff, which continues to entertain and surprise. We begin THG’s +/- recap of last night’s The City, “One Girl’s Trash,” with Olivia preparing for a shoot with Ke$ha by visiting the Trash & Vaudeville store: TRASH THIS : We often do, but Olivia surprisingly salvaged the Ke$ha shoot . The owner suggests a pair of spiked boots which Kyle asks Olivia to try on. She does but refuses to walk around the store in them. Too much effort for O. Plus 3 . Whitney Port is preparing to showcase her collection at a buyers’ event. Too bad Roxy is her right-hand man … woman. Minus 4 , because she’s a total liability. At the office, Kate goes over the items for the Ke$ha shoot. Plus 5 for when Seth asks Olivia if Erin approved the accessories and Olivia does not give a f*%k.
