eco-chic dresses, t-shirts, shorts and more

Always an orglamic favorite for eco-friendly staples, Vancouver-based Nixxi doesn’t disappoint with their Spring/Summer 2011 collection.  I’ve decided that I’m super into shorts this season and I love the pleated detailing of the pair shown above for a unique twist on a preppy staple.  Available in linen or an organic cotton/hemp blend denim, I would love to wear these shorts with a tucked-in, cuffed white button-down shirt and gold sandals!  Click here to buy this orglamic summer pick and here to browse the entire eco-chic collection.

Red Flag Desgin is a Vancouver-based company with tons of great gift ideas for dad.  While all of their products are made from locally sourced materials, the AUM line (Alternate Use Material) uses discarded materials from our uber-consumer and disposable society.  Their first AUM line is made from reclaimed sailcloth.  I like the shopper, pictured above, for dads because it’s a nice change from all the frilly ones that have come out with the recent canvas bag movement, but there are also great items like duffel bags and toiletry kits that your father will love.  Check out the entire orGLAMicproduct line by clicking here.
