From the resort collection by Vera Wang, we get an easy breezy feel for the spring ahead. There is a return to the feminine influence with sweet cuts and sheer fabrics.

The eco-minded brand, Bodkin, has rolled out some amazing effortless pieces for warm weather dressing. This dress is a favorite of ours and captures a certain 1940’s feel with a modern twist. Mens shoes were huge on the runways for NYFW and you can see here how they balance the super feminine dress.

The newest ethical leather label to hit the fashion scene- Hare + Hart is a fiercely designed line that is also considered. Advocating the entire use of free range grass fed cows, and a natural acetate biodegradable fiber sourced from a sustainable forest- this line is as eco as it is chic! 

Check out an exclusive interview with Co-founders Emily Harrison and Jennie Engelhardt in a Designer Insider Interview on GretaGuide.

The leather blazer is a look that blends classic and edgy- effortlessly. Here Taylor Momsen is sporting the new leather jacket at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week S/S 2010.

This season, Hare + Hart is producing a fantastic leather blazer sourced from Argentina, where the cows are free-roaming grass eaters who are also used for consumption, so the whole cow is used. For anyone who is not yet ready to give up leather, but wants to engage in more ethical leather purchasing- this line is for you!

The puffy jacket is the only resource to stay warm when the temperatures drop- but it doesn’t have to mean that you lose your shape or style. In fact, this season the puffy has had a revival. Wear it cropped or sinch it in with a belt for a modern take.

This jacket from Kuyichi is a great cold weather option with chic style. Made from recycled plastic bottles.

Available at Ascension.

Loving the oversized layer trend- especially the snoods! What a funny word and an even funnier bit of fabric that actually looks super chic.

Falling right in line with this oversize concept, adding versatility and and eco edge is the line Elementum. The perfect accomplice to this oversized trend- but with some staying power.

The runways during fashion week in Paris were overflowing with ruffles galore! Aligned with the turn in the finance world- fashion is taking on a lighter more hopeful feel. It is the return of romance.

Bring this trend into your wardrobe with a ruffle detail top. The exaggerated ruffle neckline draws the eye, and is perfectly balanced with a longer length to be worn as a dress or long top. Top by Richard Nicoll, available at People Tree.

Being the crafty and conscious human beings we are, it was inevitable that we would evolve in our use and re-use of clothing. We are loving the very personal approach by reknit, where you send in your old sweater and it is turned into a scarf.

Here’s the tag line: “This month, my mom will turn your old sweater into a new scarf.”

Brilliant. Thanks to Josh Spear for posting and sharing this sustainable fashion resource.
