| FASHION / ECOSALON HOME Sep 26, 2008 at 6:00 am by Allison McCarthy An Eco Eye on Sheers for Fall Sexy by day, sexy by night. We all love a look that translates well from sunrise to sunset. Not only is it more economical and eco-friendly, but it’s also easy for the busy green woman. Sheers plastered the runways and fall fashion magazines as one of this season’s welcome trends. Whether boldly worn alone or under a structured blazer, you’re sure to feel stylish. Here are a few picks from our favorite eco designers. Linda Loudermilk’s striped sheer cap sleeve is a stunner. I love it with the bandeau underneath. Throw a sharp blazer over the top and you’re ready for the office. Wear Rogan’s sheer, metallic, structured black blouse on its own with a colorful bandeau or tank underneath and you’ll have the subtly sexy masculine look that is popular this season. Try casual rocker chic with this sheer tank and electric blue hoodie, also by Rogan (shown). Related Posts ↓ |

| FASHION / ECOSALON HOME Aug 25, 2008 at 5:00 am by Allison McCarthy Second Time Around We’re all guilty of owning a t-shirt that’s seen better days. So soft, worn to perfection – it’s hard to part with such a time-tested staple. But sometimes, enough is enough and you just have to let go. When I say let go, I certainly don’t mean throw away. It’s just time to revisit your favorite tee’s form and function. ...Read More Related Posts ↓ |
| FASHION / ECOSALON HOME Aug 8, 2008 at 5:00 am by Allison McCarthy Draped to Perfection Time and again I face the question of what to wear over my more baring evening look to fend off the chill of breezy summer nights.

Finding an item that seems perfectly suited for a friend is like happening upon a buried treasure - I can’t pass it up! I buy and give and it doesn’t have to be any one’s birthday or anniversary. (This in no way makes me immune to the talent of taking, by the way). As an example, this ...Read More Related Posts ↓ |
