In my opinion Mika designs are a tribute to nature. It immediatly grabbed the top place of my list of favourite eco-friendly labels...So inspirational...

Dressim Recommends...

I am usually not into recommendation but I want to share with you a recently young blog that I discovered today...Definingduo...is about sustainable living; whether it be fashion, food, art or travel...I really enjoyed the content and if you are into sustainable living, you'll definitely find interesting stuff...Well, I found Bodkin, an ecolabel. The designs are so unique...

Each season, Bodkin seeks out the finest and most innovative sustainability-oriented fabrics in the world, from the best new technologies (such as post-consumer recycled polyester) to handloomed weaves from collectives in India, domestic organic cotton dyed by hand, and decades-old salvaged textiles. All pieces are made in the United States. Bodkin was named the inaugural recipient of the Ecco Domani Sustainable Design Award in 2009.

Proud to present you another eco-friendly brand, Elroy :)

Standard Finery

As I was going through the Standard Finery Lookbook, I couldn't really decide which one I liked more. The effortless photo shooting or the clothes. I definitely fell for the dresses, especially the ones with the black rims. The dresses look so casual but classy at the same time. Standard Finery is the work of designer Caron Callahan and she says the inspiration for this collection came from a quiet beach in Cape Cod. I think we clearly get this :) As to why I liked the photo shooting...I am not sure but maybe because it is so effortless and so personal and it reminds me of one of my favourite songs, the lazy sunbathers. 

One more thing to mention; Standard Finery uses organic materials as much as possible. 

Well, since I only post dresses, you can't see the rest of the collection here which has beautiful bustiers and shorts. Worth having a look, beautiful collection!
