men and women's clothing in eco-friendly fabrics
If you are interested in going green without sacrificing style (or your bank balance!) H&M’s new Conscious Collection is the way to go. While the blogosphere has been buzzing about this latest collection for months, the orglamic selection hit stores less than two weeks ago with rave results. Made with a wide array of eco-friendly materials including organic cotton, organic linen, recycled polyester, and Tencel, the airy shapes for women and the more structured, preppy, designs for men have captured my heart.
