orGLAMic - almost always organic, always glamorous!

I’m in the mood for love over here at orGLAMic, so here is a fun little undies posting for all you ladies! My new favorite is Mya Underwear by g=9.8 They are made from recycled white pine-tree pruning and are super sexy and orGLAMic at the same time. I hear that recycled white pine-tree pruning is as soft as silk with the feel of cashmere, sounds just about right for skivvies made in a small village in France. Oh, and as Kim Kardashian recently pointed out to us over here at Hollywood Green with Maria Menounos - you can step it up a notch in the green department by showering with your significant other!

Among all the amazing companies that are creating orGLAMic denim, Del Forte is one of my favorites.  All of their denim is made of 100% organic cotton, and because it takes 2/3 of a pound of pesticides to make one pair of jeans, this is a great way to spread the orGLAMic love.  I can’t wait to get my hands on the white Willow jean pictured above - the perfect high-waisted summer jean as far as I am concerned.  Check out the entire organic and glamorous (get it, orGLAMic?!) denim line by clicking here.

Nothing says Father’s Day than the good ol’ shirt.  This year, make an orGLAMic choice by buying of the organic offerings by Gilded Age.  I love the vintage meets preppy look of the Twain Rugby Polo pictured above, but this line has something for every father out there.  Gilded Age uses organic cotton in many of their products, and some of the unique natural dyes they use include volcanic mud dye, parchment, natural charcoal, tea, logwood, Japanese Alder and natural indigo.  Click here to pick something up for your dad.

Stella McCartney has been a pioneer in vegan and eco-friendly design for years.  But for those of you that can’t necessarily afford some of her more high-end items, her line for LeSportsac is right up your ally.  While these items are a litte more sporty than orGLAMic, the muted colors make them an excellent choice for schlepping around workout gear or items for a day at the beach.  My favorite is the Everyday Tote pictured above, but there is also an uber-orGLAMic diaper tote for all you mommies out there!  Check out the full line of Stella McCartney for LeSportsac by clicking here.

Nothing signals the beginning of summertime like white denim!  This orGLAMic addition to any wardrobe can be easily taken from day to night with some accessories and heels.  Sharka Chakra is the first denim line to offer white jeans that are made with organic cotton and no bleach.  They bleach their denim the good ol’ fashioned way - with sunshine!  Buy the straight cigarette sunbaked white, pictured above, or other orGLAMic organic denim here.

Always on the lookout for vegan-friendly shoe options, I was thrilled to come across Mink.  While the market has been expanding (check out orGLAMic’s previous post on Natalie Portman’s line for Te Casan) this orGLAMic girl has had a hard time finding leather-free shoes that I love.  Call me crazy, but it’s either flip-flops or stilletos for me and finally MINK has some orGLAMic options for both.

MINK shoes are custom designed and hand crafted from only the finest quality non-animal products. Natural or scientifically engineered alternatives such as cork, denim, linen, faux fur, and other animal friendly substitutes are employed - while leather, suede, pelts, and skins are never used. To check out the line of limited edition MINK shoes, click here.

After Mother’s Day brunch this Sunday, walk off that tofu scramble with a stroll through Vie (if you’re reading orGLAMic you ARE eating tofu scramble - right?!?).  Having just opened on trendy 3rd Street, this unique ‘green’ boutique -one of the first in LA- carries so many gorgeous lines that you won’t even realize that you’re saving the earth while shopping for utterly orGLAMic clothing!  Carrying Loomstate, Larsen Grey, EcoSkin, Skin & Threads, and many, many more eco-friendly collections, this shop is a can’t miss.  As you’re browsing through, or lounging on, the gorgeous recycled and reclaimed furtinure, be sure to pick up one of the books carefully hand-selected by owner Rachel Hurn-Maloney.  Vie is located at 8032 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90048

Nobody deserves (or needs!) to relax more than mothers.  This Sunday give your mom a lush, 100% organic Pima cotton robe by Skin and tell her that you appreciate all her hard work and unconditional love.  This white robe is simple and sleek and positively orGLAMic!  Check out all the organic and eco-friendly lingerie at Figleaves Greenleaves, or order the robe pictured above, by clicking here.

Rogan Gregory is the next designer to be tapped for the GO International capsule collections for Target.  Known as an eco-friendly designer, Gregory currently runs Loomstate (one of orGLAMic’s favorite denim line’s), green T-shirt label line EDUN with Bono’s wife, Ali Hewson, and his edgier line, Rogan.  Offering an affordable take of green eco-conscious fashion for the masses, the 60-piece womenswear collection is made of certified organic cotton and incorporates other environmentally sensitive materials like organic linen, hemp and bamboo.  Beat the crowds and get the best selection of this orGLAMic line by ordering online here starting May 18th.

Everybody’s favorite denim line has entered eco-friendly territory!  J Brand Green Label has a selection of denim made from 100% organic cotton, but without sacrificing the flattering cut and superb quality that  one expects from the infamous line.  And now, when you buy a pair of organic jeans from J Brand, you also get a free canvas tote to haul your purchases (remember - not just groceries!) home.  Personally, I’ve been living in dark wide-leg denim for the past year and am looking forward to lightening up a bit for summer- the perfect orGLAMic purchase.  To check out the entire J Brand Green Label line, click here.
