Inspired by my two NYC jaunts this past month, I am determined to adopt some of the effortlessly chic styles that women wore so beautiful down the runway sidewalk everywhere I looked.  These orglamic Basket Pants by Peligrosa perfectly fit the bill for my ‘new look.’  Made of organic cotton twill, and available in navy or natural, these pants would look excellent with a belted slouchy sweatshirt for daytime, or cuffed with a tucked in tank top and stilettos for evening.  This orglamic company exclusively uses organic, sustainable and reclaimed materials in all of their pieces and 90% of their production is in the US.  Click here to find a retailer near you.

As we elegantly (and orGLAMically!) transition into fall, versatile pieces such as those found in Lara Miller’s collections are key.  The Meadow Tank, shown above, is made in Chicago of hand-loomed, 100% bamboo.  The sweater-like fabric adds a pop of color during these fall months, but can also be worn well into the winter under a blazer and scarf.  Using eco-friendly fibers such as organic cotton, hand-loomed bamboo, hemp and vegan silk, all of Lara Miller’s designs are beautifully crafted and pass the orGLAMic test with flying colors.  Click here to browse all her collections and here to shop currently available items.

I know a clothing line is absolutely fabulous when it is difficult for me to narrow down specifically which item I want to share with my orGLAMic readers!  Emersonmade offers piece after piece of delectable items that could easily enter the permanent rotation in my closet – and while the blazers initially caught my attention, it is the expertly tailored Emerson Shift that I am currently craving.  Made of 100% organic cotton, this eggplant dress is perfect for a day of meetings yet can also easily transition into dinner date attire.  Click here to purchase this orGLAMic find, or here to shop the rest of the site including menswear, accessories, wedding finds and more.

Be comfy, chic and orGLAMic in these stylish Josh Podoll tops. This husband-and-wife’s clothing line is “grown and sewn” in the United States.  Products are 100% organic Supima™ cotton.  This particular t-shirt shown above is my favorite because I love the orange, pink and purple polk-a-dots, and it’s comfortable look. This line has many other orGLAMic tops that are perfect for school and for the weekend.  In addition to casual, cute tops, Josh Podoll also has casual dresses and bottoms!  Click here to browse the entire Spring 2010 collection and here to find a stockist near you. -AY

GreenSewn is upcycling at it’s finest.  Strips of recycled, vintage, silk saris are carefully handsewn together to create beautiful scarves and wraps that can be worn an infinite number of ways.  I would either wear these looped and draped elegantly around my neck or as a wrap to keep me warm on airplanes, but they can we worn around your head, as a shawl, or even around the waist or chest as a beach coverup.  And in addition to offering eco-conscious wares, GreenSewn donates to Trees For The Future so that 10 trees are planted with every purchase!  Click here for this scarf and here to browse and find the unique, orGLAMic scarf for you!

While clothing lines featured on orGLAMic are sparse (we are too darn picky!) Bodkin satisfies our eco-friendly design needs season after season.  I am utterly obsessed with shorts and rompers this summer, hence the photo above, but the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is also filled with light, ephemeral dresses and tops of impeccable design.  All of Bodkin’s offerings are made of sustainability-oriented fabrics including post-consumer recycled polyester, hand-loomed weaves from collectives in India, regenerated and recycled wool, fine organic cottons, and decades-old salvaged textiles.  Click here to browse the collections (Autumn/Winter 2010 features some amazingly tailored pants!) and here to find a retailer near you.
