How to knock off Angelina Jolie’s all-black Golden Globes outfit, in true eco-fashion.

While I thought Mrs. Brad Pitt looked absolutely gorgeous in Atelier Versace on the red carpet at the Golden Globes this past weeked (those red lips!), she looked equally radiant wearing a more demure all-black outfit next to Pedro Almodovar at the Golden Globe Awards Foreign-Language Nominee Event in Los Angeles on Saturday. Everything looks sexy on Jolie, but anyone can pull off a tailored  look like this, especially in black. And we know how to do it in true eco-fashion.

Fitted Black Blazer
This black blazer is part of the ULTRA 10, a collection of ten modular and multifunctional pieces by sustainable design collective ULTRA. Made from recycled and natural-blend materials the clothing can be returned to ULTRA for upcycling (you receive a discount on a fresh supply in return). Zip the sleeves off this one and you have a stylish vest.
Price upon request, ULTRA 

Knee-length Tailored Black Dress
This “Ballantine” LBD by Suzabelle is all about perfect fit and unexpected details. We love the neckline, which can magically disappear underneath a dress jacket or shine when the dress is worn by itself. Designed and ethically made in Seattle.
$199, Glamour & Glow

Classic Pointed-Toe Pumps
Melissa Plastic Dreams shoes are made from the company’s special Melflex plastic, which is eco-friendly and won’t (contrary to what you may think) make your feet stinky. I love the pointed toe, 3″ stiletto heel and classic shape of these. The stitched, twisted bow adds a touch of lady-like elegance.
On sale for approx. $65, Miss Matilda’s Boutique 

Chunky Gold Hoops
Jolie chooses not to detract from her outfit (or appearance) by accessorizing too much. Sometimes a simple pair of chunky gold hoops is all you need to complete a look. These, by Amara Gold, are made in the USA from 14k eco-friendly yellow gold.
$250, Amara Gold

Eight eco-friendly dresses, in flattering shades of red.

The holidays are here and that means a lot of parties. This year skip the standard LBD and put on a LRD (Little Red Dress) instead. Dressing in brighter colors just seems more festive, doesn’t it? But, instead of Santa-red, go for a darker shade, such as ruby, bordeaux, rust or maroon this year. Here are our top eight eco-friendly LRDs, in no particular order. Of course, you can also use them year-round.

1. Feral Childe’s Goldbird Shift
Elegant with personality, this shift dress by Feral Childe will take you through any day and night with great style. Made in New York, from 100% hammered silk, this lovely piece works just as well as a dress as it does a tunic.

2. Prairie Underground’s Fringe Tribe
This one is for those nights you know you’ll end up dancing to the wee hours. The three tiers of fringe in front (and two in the back) will move with you. Made in Seattle from 100% Organic cotton.
