I'm back and greener than ever!

Yay...the blog is back! The hiatus of postings on here was surely not due to a shortage of green happenings or products. In fact, there seem to be more fantastic sustainable stuff out there than ever. So, my excuse is that I was sidetracked by my lastest design project, the eco-luxury spa at Casa del Mar in Santa Monica. Stay tuned for photos but also please stop by any day 11-7 and see for yourself how elegant and luxurious green can be!


Last Tuesday I attended EcoStiletto's Green Girl's Night Out at Intuition. Guests brought gently worn shoes for Dress for Success (including a pair from my closet which I wore once over the last few years so thankfully someone else will enjoy them and they'll stop collecting dust!) and enjoyed music from a solar-powered DJ, organic food by Ciudad and Border Grill, drinks by O.N.E. (including Acai which was delicious over ice), cool green (of course!) bracelets promoting the Green Youth Movement, an interactive installation for Lips Against Lead by Teeens for Safe Cosmetics and canvas totes by Green Works (supported by the Sierra Club). One of my favorite parts of the evening were the adorable, stylish, vegan and fair-trade ballerina slippers by Do-Ni. Oh and 100% of retail profits goes to a participating non-profit of your choice. How cool! Pictured above with one of the shoes is Dana Luong from Do-Ni and her cute baby and the other image is me trying the shoes on at the event.
