You may not be a biker babe, but you are probably a gal who needs a jacket.

Thanks to Raw Earth Wild Sky, we have a Motocross jacket that fulfills both needs.

Each of their organic pieces are hand-made in Los Angeles with signature details including deconstructed seams and raw hems, novelty hand-dyed, hand-stamped and hand-painted techniques along with interesting trims applied in unusual ways to create a raw, unique feel for each piece. Their garments are all produced using low-impact dyes (less metal, oil and water) in dye houses that use recycled water to reduce their label’s impact on the environment.

“The look is beautifully relaxed and broken-in, yet well crafted. We use only the best organic and other sustainable fabrics and earth-friendly methods in our lines creation,” says the Raw Earth Wild Sky website.

A little background info: Designers Karen Kananen, a native Californian and Brit Samantha Robinson met roughly 14 years ago while working at the same company in Los Angeles and became great friends. They cite their intense love of fashion and concern for planet, along with the births of their daughters (now 9 and 8 respectively) as the driving force behind their decision to start their label. (Leave it to children to make you want to save the planet a little longer).

While many years of experience working the markets in L.A., London and New York have brought their cumulative experiences to their own label’s table, the two continue to evolve, most recently with Kananen’s designing behind contemporary label, ‘eco-ganik’ taking it from ‘birth’ in 2004 to $1.8 million in two years – selling to many well-known and influential stores like Macy’s and Anthropologie.

But on this day, for this week only, the only thing that matters is this pretty little jacket. You like?

Well then leave a comment below letting us know how much and we’ll get you in the running to win.

In the meantime, I’ll be reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance pondering values…

Summertime, and the cotton is high. It’s also 100% organic and woven in a refreshing feminine palette with low-impact dyes by Midwest modern designer Amy Butler.

Can you imagine having anything but good dreams when tucked into such life-affirming florals?

Come June, this first bedding collection by Butler makes its exotic debut, proving eco-friendly textiles have our fashionable bedrooms covered. Butler thinks over everything in these stunning ensembles, even tossing in the throw pillows to keep the layering a no-brainer.

If it all suits your style, these patterns will be available at her online shop as well as select Bed, Bath & Beyond stores. I don’t know about you, but I will be thrilled to see these additions to BB&B. Too often I have come up empty handed when casing the vast linen department for organic bedding with any sense of style. I would love to select Butler’s organics for a teen space or guest room.

Every bit as soothing as neutral Calvin Klein and as well-coordinated as the Donna Karan separates, Butler’s Far Eastern-inspired garden patterns and oversize block-printed paisleys expand our options in designing a modern bedroom enlivened by bohemian elements. Sure, Indian designs have always been available but not always as current in substance or high in quality.

Butler has collaborated with Welspun to produce this collection which pairs fun color combinations (pink with green, turquoise with lime, navy with red and green) all in skin-friendly 400 thread count fibers.

“I love that this collection is a design driven eco story and proves that eco friendly bedding can be vibrant and beautiful,” says the designer. “It’s fashion bedding at its very best.”
