Trend Alert: Organic Denim
Every fashionista should be trying to incorporate some form of organic fashion into their lives. Whether it's switching from plastic to cloth grocery bags, embracing everything eco-fashion-friendly, or simply keeping abreast of the changing fashion terrain, I think we can all agree going organic is a healthy direction for fashion folk alike. An easy foray into this evolution is investing in organic denim.
Sneak Peek! Quiksilver Spring '09 and QSW Mercer Concept Store
We all know I'm a junkie for beach brands, so dig in to some junk food! Quiksilver's Spring women's collection is now available for the taking. With a mix of cool nautical, funky pastels, and sundresses, the best part is prices don't go beyond $100.
On Our Radar: J Brand Goes Green
J Brand, the wildly popular denim line, is the latest to jump on the green wandbagon.

Organic Cotton, Now in Ball Form
We've already told you why it's important to buy organic cotton in regard to denim, and now, you can buy an organic variety of cotton balls as well. These Organic Essentials Triple Size Cotton Balls are made from 100 percent certified organic cotton and whitened with hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine bleach. They're just as soft as regular cotton balls, but in this case, you won't be contributing to the pesticide-heavy farming that goes into conventional cotton.
Trend Alert: Silver Shock
All this time I have been drawn towards the opulence of gold and I forgot about the power of silver shock. While I am a golden girl when it comes to jewelry, I love metallics just as much as the next fashionista — if not more. A shock of silver is more sci-fi and glam rock than gold though.
