Eco-Outfit: That '70s Girl

They say that death and taxes are two things of which you are can be certain. I would add the cycling of fashion trends. We all knew that the '70s would make a comeback, and I for one, was happy to embrace a little love child flair. This dress (styled as a top) from Amour Vert set the tone, and I dug out my bell bottom jeans (from seriously 10 years ago!) and paired them with a platform wedge. Beaded drop earrings and touch of au naturel makeup from Juice Beauty finished off this modern hippie look.

Long have I been a fan of Juice Beauty. I remember when I first met founder Karen Behnke at Aspen Fashion Week! It is so wonderful to see how this plant potent line has grown and I was overjoyed to learn about their new phyto-pigments makeup line.

Delivering more color and staying power without sacrificing any purity, the phyto line is a huge step in the right direction for natural beauty. The foundation was a little light (in coverage) for me. I feel like I would rather wear a tinted moisturizer if I am going that light, but it does pack a punch when it comes to skin nourishment, acting more like a serum than a foundation. The cream blush is very creamy and build-able. The lip color is so natural and perfect for adding a slight enhancement to a 'no-makeup makeup' look. The shimmery eye crayon doubles as a highlighter for your cheeks and cupid's bow. And the mascara is fab!

Juice Beauty Makeup

For my barely there makeup look, I used the cream shadow stick in Pale Gold across my lids, on my brow bone, cheekbones and cupid's bow. Eyes were finished with a quick curl and coat of mascara. I warmed the cream blush in Nude Beige on my finger and patted it along my cheekbone, starting at the apples and working out towards my ears. I lined my lips with the luminous lip crayon in Nude Beige and filled in the rest using the crayon as a lipstick. Et, voila! So easy, and so natural.

Fashioned Green: Crossbody Bags for Fall

The changing of seasons is a special time. It is like a fresh start. A time to look ever so slightly into the future. I always look forward to fall. Growing up in Wyoming, fall comes pretty early and promises the swift following of snow- which makes my heart light up. And of course there is also a change in fashion. Not only from a functional place (cooler weather calls for warmer layers), but also from a creative place. There is so much richness in the textures and layering combinations for fall and winter.

One thing I like to change out for the fall season is my bag. I like to choose a color that is a bit deeper. It is also fun to try a new trend or invest in a staid classic. The crossbody bag has become a favorite of mine. I love how easy they are to wear and leave your hands free. Perfect for traveling. Below are some of my top picks for crossbody bags to sport this fall. If you have a bag or brand you are loving that has some eco credentials behind it, please share in the comments. We all love to learn about new brands and fashionable options.
