precious eco-friendly clothing for babies and kids
Dress your little orglamic lady or dude with eco-friendly clothing from TANE Organics this summer. The luxuriously crafted pieces not only help the planet by reducing the amount of toxins in our soil and waterways, but your child benefits from not having harmful pestecides and dyes being absorbed by their skin. Luckily, this is all done in style with the company’s latest Spring/Summer 2011 collection. I’m digging the Aggie Pointelle Sleeveless Dress (shown above) and the Sweater Stripe Pullover T, but there are also great swaddle blankets that would make an excellent gift for any mom-to-be.
