The Academy Awards were great, but here at Fashion Me Green we have been anxiously awaiting the Best of Green 2010 Reader’s Choice Awards hosted by TreeHugger.com!
No committee required- these awards are directly influenced by YOU! So, go to this link to start your voting. The nominees are all so fantastic, we had a hard time choosing just one- good luck!
Anna Kendrick may be new to the big screen, but her flawless beauty and style sense shot her straight to the top. The actress was nominated for Best Supporting Role for Up in the Air- opposite George Clooney.
For her look at the 82nd Academy Awards, Kendrick opted for a naturally enhanced fresh face. Make-up artist, Sara Glick prepped the actress’ skin and said, ”For a natural flush, I accented Anna’s cheek bones with a coral shade.” She used eco-cheek by Tarte Cosmetics, a non-toxic natural cheek stain. To get Kendrick’s look, dab and blend the cheek stain on the apples of your cheeks.

Sandra Bullock was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous at the Oscars last night and rumor has it that the dress by Marchesa was constructed from vintage materials. Amazing.
We didn’t see any of the exceptional sustainable gowns from Gary Harvey (right), but thought if there were a place to wear such a creative manifestation of recycled fabric, the Academy Awards would be the place to do it! Maybe some of our leading ladies will catch on to that for next year…
Metallics are showing up across the designer board for spring, and Khloe Kardashian is on top on this trend.
Gunmetal grey is the most versatile, but you can play around with golds, silvers and coppers too. Can’t decide which color to go for? The non-toxic natural nail polish line, Priti has put out a show-stopping color that embodies them all. Silvery gold with a very neutral undertone, Hardy Water Lily (bottom right) is the staple color for spring. Feeling a bit more adventurous? Take this look further with talon tip shaped nails.

We love the contrasting styles of these two reality TV ‘It girls’ from The Hills. LC is picture perfect classic with a tailored blazer, peep-toe shoes and a timeless white blouse. Now for the sustainable style makeover! This look is quite classic, and requires an investment in a staple blazer. Stella McCartney delivers amazing tailored pieces that have designer details with a real wearability. Build the look with a white oxford shirt from Bamford, and a softly structured skirt from EcoSkin. Finish the look with a sweet pair of vegan ‘patent leather’ peep-toe pumps from Neuaura.
Prefer the edgy look sported by Audrina? We’ve got you covered! Audrina balances a slouchy causal top with street chic jeans and standout shoes. SUST is your go-to for California chic layers. Opt for their Disco Top in a number of colors. Who better to provide you with street chic denim than G-Star Raw? And now G-Star is producing an eco-denim line souring organic and recycled denim. Top it all off with a stunning pair of statement shoes from Neuaura.
The romper has come full circle over the past two decades and is making a comeback that transcends seasons. Get in on the action now by pairing your romper with tights, boots and a bit of faux fur.
Transition in to spring and summer with flat shoes, oversized sunnies and of course a boho carry- all bag. Inspired by the romper trend? Snatch up the featured romper on the right from Claire Incorruptible- an online vintage retailer. This romper is a Ralph Lauren original from the 80s!

Style story: Why does this winter feel so long…? We are ready for the fresh bright prints of spring- and in many combinations. Get ready to play with different patterns and strike a careful balance of contrast and compliment with these bold prints. Keep the shoes and accessories neutral or slightly interesting with subtle pops of color.
Green story: Molly Sims looked absolutely stunning outside the DVF show during NYFW 2010, and you can get the look from ethical fashion label Suno. Suno produces their designs and patterns in New York and then works with a local group of talented artisans in Kenya to produce the garments- promoting fair working conditions, and social and economic growth.
Looks like the vampire craze has spread to the runways! However, the porcelain skin with clean fresh eyes balances the bold lip. This color will be great for transitioning into Spring with a slight orange under-hue.
For a rich red lipstick that packs a punch try Bare Escentuals Red Delicious. The color is bold and opaque, so you really get the statement effect. If you have a coral lip color, brush a bit over top to create a new color that is more playful.
