As we elegantly (and orGLAMically!) transition into fall, versatile pieces such as those found in Lara Miller’s collections are key. The Meadow Tank, shown above, is made in Chicago of hand-loomed, 100% bamboo. The sweater-like fabric adds a pop of color during these fall months, but can also be worn well into the winter under a blazer and scarf. Using eco-friendly fibers such as organic cotton, hand-loomed bamboo, hemp and vegan silk, all of Lara Miller’s designs are beautifully crafted and pass the orGLAMic test with flying colors.

Yoghund

If dog is a man’s best friend, than Yoghund is an orGLAMic man’s best friend’s friend. This USDA-certified organic frozen yogurt treat is a fun and healthy way to keep orGLAMic pups happy. In addition, the company goes eco by using 100% recycled boxes that are processed chlorine-free, while the yogurt cups are made of paper for increased safety (which is a good thing since I know a puggle (yes, you Rudy!) who would likely eat the cup as well!) Available in Banana & Peanut Butter and Blueberry & Vanilla Bean, all you have to do is click here to find a North American store near you.

Veja

For a refined version of the sneaker, check out all the orGLAMic shoes made by Veja. Designed in Paris, this company works with small Brazilian producers of organic cotton and wild rubber from the Brazilian Amazon to create a variety of hip, chic sneaks. The Indigenos made of vegetable-tanned leather would be my choice for any orGLAMic man in my life, as I think they are youthful and refined at the same time. I also love that could easily transition from work to play to a night on the town. Click here to browse the entire orGLAMic collection and here to find a worldwide location near you.

Erin Templeton

If there is rehab for purses, I belong there. While I try to keep my consumption to a minimum (let’s keep it green, people!) it is nice to know that my splurges can also be eco-conscious purchases. Erin Templeton makes some of the most orGLAMic purses I’ve found. The Side Saddle, pictured above, is my favorite among the ten different styles available. The classic bucket bag is trendy once again, and while the bag shown above is made of buffalo hide, it is also available out of recycled leather otherwise destined for a landfill.

Kid Basix

Sandra Sanchez — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:39:49 +0000

Kid Basix has redesigned the children’s sippy cup in a manner that makes our orGLAMic hearts flutter. This modern, eco-friendly take on the dowdy (and BPA-filled!) plastic cups of the past is made from non-leeching, toxin-free stainless steel, while the detailing uses BPA- and phthalate-free plastic. These have passed my tumble-test to assure that they won’t leak when held upside-down, thrown or even jumped on, and little kids seem to love the thoughtfully shaped handles and sleeve.
