How "Green" is your fashion?


Going Green in the Fashion Industry
The Touch, the feel of cotton; the fabric of our lives.”  These are the words you hear in TV ads for the cotton industry. So my question is: “what about organic cotton?” Cotton is a natural fiber, so isn’t all cotton organic?
     Merriam-Webster dictionary defines organic: ”a (1) : of, relating to, or derived from living organisms (2) : relating to, yielding, dealing in, or involving the use of food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides <organic stores> “   

            Many of us have a heighten awareness of what “organic” means when it comes to our food, but what about our clothing? Often times, when you are shopping in stores, you will see labels with “certified organic” and you think you are doing something good for you and the environment, but it can be misleading.

Green Fabulous Fashion!

It's that time again! Fabulous Fridays!

So this week, instead of picking trendy items, I decied to focus on some "eco-friendly" fashion to tie in with the post I just wrote about "Green Fashion".

Fabulous Friday is here again!


Mother's day is just around the corner. So what are you going to buy your mom, this Mother's day?


My suggestion is some elegant pearl earrings. Nothing says, "Mom, I love you and you deserve to look beautiful!" like a pair of pearl earrings.


Or maybe you need to introduce her with this summer's trends: a summer maxi dress. And nothing goes better with her new dress than some fun white wedge espadrilles.

So check out the stores. Right now Macys has a ton of sales on these items. The maxi dress listed is currently on sale for $99.

Also, I have a ton of great gift items on my store site A La Mode. Go to alamode.styleowner.com for great gift items for mommy. Even if you know someone who is not "quite" a mommy yet and soon will be, please check out my "for the baby" suggestions for cute baby items to buy.

Well Happy Shopping!
