a timelessly chic organic cotton shirt for all seasons
While we introduced you all to the orglamic EmersonMade line last fall, my current obsession with striped ANYthing is inspiring me to feature it again.

I love the pairing of navy with cream as opposed to the more expected white, and the fact that the lightweight cotton can be worn throughout the entire year.

The Soho Twill Blazer is made of 100% organic cotton polished twill with hemp silk lining on the cuffs, and can be easily be stylishly worn year-round with everything from slouchy cords and a scarf to a sundress and sandals.

the classic french brand offers items made of 100% organic cotton
If you’ve always fancied yourself as the type that skips through the French countryside with your giggling children and perfectly mussed hair, or if you just have spectacular taste in casualwear, you’re probably familiar with Petit Bateau. The company’s organic offerings make me an even bigger fan, especially the classic Mariniere tops for baby, child and adult. Available in a variety of colors and styles, the 100% organic cotton jersey top is cut with a slight A-line, while the drop armholes and three buttons at the shoulder elevate this top from any long-sleeved tee to a cult classic.
