Be Gorgeously Green





Being Eco-friendly is not only for hippies. La Guru’s new favorite accessory is a luxurious vegan handbag made by Matt & Nat. Each Matt & Nat bag is made from up to 55 recycled plastic bottles, and are geared towards both men and women. The styles range from clutches, shoulder bags and laptop bags to messenger bags. Bags available through www.mattandnat.com .

Olsenhaus presents Fall 09 with a creative, bold women’s collection of vegan footwear
The line has received raving reviews by retailers, with major on-line and print press.Designer Elizabeth Olsen knows being eco-conscience doesn’t mean giving up on style. Her footwear line can be seen on celebrities such as Emily Deschanel, Finola Hughes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Persia White and Lisa Edelstein. My favorite style would be the Balance Shoe in yellow and can be found at www.mooshoes.com .


Lara Miller has been called “ecological sensitive” by some, I just say her work genius pieces speak for themselves. Her hand-loomed bamboo, buttery soft jersey, and distinct woven pieces can be twisted, wrapped, and most even flipped upside down to create a whole new look. To find pieces of this Chicagoen’s collection please visit www.laramiller.net .

Go ahead Chicago, be fashionable, be green, and be seen!
