Angela Lindvall Reveals Her Organic Tree Shadows

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Beauty and eco-prowess, now that's what I call a model citizen. Model Angela Lindvall has been living the green life, and now we can live in her efforts. She teamed up with yoox.com’s environmentally sustainable project YOOXYGEN and created a limited edition 100 percent organic cotton EDUN tee. Lindvall’s design is derived from her vision of the environment: “My shirt was created from the shadows of trees. Our shadow side is what sometimes pushes us to grow.” Starting June 30, check out yoox's "ever.green" collections of eco-friendly tees covering themes of design, music, and fashion for both men and women, designed by celebrities. A percentage of proceeds are being donated to Green Cross International, an environmental non-governmental organization.

Simply Fab: Shopbop Supports the Earth

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Happy Earth Day everyone! We should try to make eco-friendly decisions every day, but if you haven't already, today is the day to reflect on how you can make a difference, big or small.

Shopbop is doing its part by housing an eco-friendly section dedicated to designers who have gone green. Larsen Gray, Beau Soleil, Bono's EDUN, and C& C California are just a few in the eco-chic roster. They are living proof that you can be nice to the environment without sacrificing style and quality. Personally, I can't believe my eyes that this Larsen Gray Bellara Crop Braid Tank ($216) is made of 50 percent soybean and 50 percent organic cotton. Sounds and looks good!

FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:47:09 -0700

I hope you have been enjoying our O.C. wardrobe tribute posts! Alas, all good things come to an end, as did The O.C. after a mere four seasons. Now I have to admit I totally lost interest after Marissa died in Season 3. Therefore I can't deliver a recap of the final season, but someone in another Sugar pod can! I did tune in a few times, but I just wasn't feeling it anymore. Did you all feel the same way?

I Want This Wardrobe: The O.C., Season 1

FabSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 11:00:22 -0700

We thought with Summer right around the corner it would be fun to put together a wardrobe tribute for a guilty pleasure TV show that took place in a sublimely sunny part of the world: The O.C.. I for one was smitten by all the teen angst, with money, drama and the seemingly beautiful people. I wanted to hate Marissa for her unreal good looks and mood swings and Ryan for his violent temper and smoldering brow - but I just couldn't. And the parents were so cool, and beautiful too, albeit they had their own intriguing skeletons in their walk-in closets.

The O.C. set trends. Marissa inspired teenage, and er, twenty-somethings, to want to carry a Chanel handbag as their school book bag. Summer had a cute-as-a-button boho-California style that spawned my Marc by Marc Jacobs obsession and taught us all how to layer wisely. Kirsten and Julie had MILF written all over them. And, we all came to appreciate the cool dork in the Penguin polos: Seth. Without further ado...here is Season One. Stay tuned tomorrow for Season Two!

Season One

On Summer:
Charles Nolan Dotted Voile Blouse, $230.
Edun Monarch Bootcut Stretch Jeans, $150.
