There’s only so much time in a day, so take your time because time is of the essence.

When it comes to all the hours in a day, we’re obsessed. So to sustainably keep us in time with all that life offers us, why not have a great looking watch?

These stylish pieces from Ecowrist come from the vast regions of the Amazon in South America and are primarily comprised of bamboo, tagua nuts, acai, coconut, various woods and Cañaflecha (reeds).

The company was founded by husband and wife team David Gandy and MarQuerite Hamden in 2008. MarQuerite’s South American roots inspired the duo to reconnect with the various cultures of the vast continent.

“Our company strives for sustainability through recycling, the use of natural materials, and minimal wastes to ensure as little effect on the environment as possible. We follow fair trade practices to make sure everyone is happy from farmer to consumer,” says the site.

At our EcoSalon Shops! event on June 4th, the duo will be there ready to sell you time if you’ve got it. Now, back to that Cyndi Lauper song that’s suddenly in my head, “Time after time, if you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting”¦”

Hey there, lady readers! For over two years, we’ve been bringing you stories about the stylish side of sustainable living. We’ve been chatting, we’ve been tweeting, we’ve been friending something fierce – but we’ve never met in person! It’s time, don’t you think?

Join EcoSalon’s EIC Sara Ost, Fashion Editor Amy DuFault, and a host of other EcoSalon writers when we host our first ever event, EcoSalon Shops! at Green Spaces on June 4, 2010, from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. at their 394 Broadway, New York, NY location.

Our susty soiree will be haven to 20 sustainable clothing and accessories designers including Lara Miller, Study by Tara St. James and Cri De Coeur shoes, four eco-boutiques, Buddha Nose organic body care and A Perfume Organic. Designers from all the lines will be on hand to chat with you as you peruse new looks and try on your favorites.

You should come prepared to shop, mingle, sample sustainable goodies and organic cocktails – and participate in a Twitter #FollowFriday eco-fashion tweet up.

In addition to shopping, Save The Garment Center’s Erica Wolf will be on hand with Save The Garment Center t-shirts to answer your questions about the status of New York City’s historic Garment Center and how you can help the cause. Though there won’t be an admission fee to the event, we do suggest making a donation to our friends at Save the Garment Center.

Whether you’re in the market for a sexy strappy number or a new pair of kicks, you can do it all in eco style with us as we toast to green fashion with delicious organic wine, Divine Chocolate and Fair Vodka, and much more. Swag bags filled with sustainable gifts are available for the first 50 shoppers. Throughout May, we’ll be featuring all the participants for EcoSalon Shops!, and answering any questions you may have about the event, so stay tuned.
