Like we always say, &#8220;the greenest product is often the one that already exists,&#8221; plus this skirt idea is totally eco <em>and</em> fabulous. All you&#8217;ll need is a measuring tape, ruler, disappearing ink pen, scissors, sewing machine, and thread (and the old shirt of course). Take a look at the before and after below and then hop on over to ecouterre for the <a href="http://www.ecouterre.com/20853/recycle-an-old-t-shirt-into-john-patrick-organics-diy-skirt/" target="_blank">full instructions</a>!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>The allure of shiny, pretty things is not lost on the eco-conscious, but finding gems that are as ethical as they are glittery is no easy feat. Enter <a href="http://c5company.com/" target="_blank">C5 Fine Jewelry</a>, an Oakland-based company that believes in the four &#8220;C&#8217;s&#8221; of diamond quality (cut, color, clarity, and carat), plus a fifth &#8220;C&#8221;: consciousness. Buy an engagement ring from C5 and you&#8217;re assured a conflict-free bauble, customizable to your liking and guaranteed to be wholly unique.<span id="more-18851"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/c5-gold.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18855" title="c5-gold" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/c5-gold.jpg" alt="c5-gold" width="579" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, betrothed couples aren&#8217;t the only ones who whould be able to enjoy sporting such dazzling accessories. (Ahem, single ladies.) Anyone with a penchant for eco-glam may shop C5’s <a href="http://c5company.com/meghan-connolly-haupt/" target="_blank">MCH collection</a> of impressive, sustainable jewelry (all recycled metals, all ethically sourced gems). We’re keen on the delicate <a href="http://meghanconnollyhaupt.com/Jewelry/Bracelets/ID-Bracelet/" target="_blank">ID Bracelet</a> and bold, sapphire-encrusted <a href="http://meghanconnollyhaupt.com/Jewelry/Rings/Circle-Ring/" target="_blank">Circle Ring</a>, both of which make impressive aesthetic and social statements.</p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/avenue-green-bangles.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18856" title="avenue-green-bangles" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/avenue-green-bangles.jpg" alt="avenue-green-bangles" width="579" height="273" /></a></p>
<p>Should the sight of price tags in the thousands leave you speechless (lavish jewels don’t come cheap, after all), fear not. You can shop C5’s much more accessible, but no less stylish <a href="http://c5company.com/avenue-green/" target="_blank">Avenue Green</a> collection instead. Layer a few of their <a href="http://www.econsciousmarket.com/default/women-s/jewelry/c5-company-2-mm-bangle.html" target="_blank">thin bangles</a> — made of 100% recycled sterling silver — on your arm for an instant outfit pick-me-up. As an astute pop diva once put it, if you like it, put a ring—or necklace, earrings, or bracelet — on it. All the better if it’s a well-crafted piece by <a href="http://c5company.com/" target="_blank">C5</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>A good man is hard to find. And a good man with style and a passion for the environment? Ladies when you meet him, you&#8217;ve found the one. In lieu of having every one of the 100 qualities you dreamed up on your &#8220;list,&#8221; you can easily supplement his style. Cue <a href="http://shop.hardgraft.com" target="_blank">hard graft</a>, purveyors of fine lifestyle accessories.<span id="more-18819"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/hard-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18824" title="hard-2" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/hard-2.jpg" alt="hard-2" width="579" height="250" /></a>From handsome murses (read: man purse) to slick cases for his <a href="http://shop.hardgraft.com/ipad-cases" target="_blank">iPad</a> or <a href="http://shop.hardgraft.com/all/kindle-case" target="_blank">Kindle</a>, hard graft has an elevated style that we have yet to find in sustainable men&#8217;s goods, though we&#8217;d be happy to sport most of this stuff around town ourselves too! With a look and quality we&#8217;ve come to expect from European designers (<a href="http://shop.hardgraft.com/about" target="_blank">hard graft</a> headquarters are in Austria), the team describes their product look and sensibility perfectly: &#8220;We&#8217;re cosmopolitan but prefer to be surrounded by nature. We&#8217;re understated and refined but rough at the same time. We&#8217;re masculine but with a sensitive touch. We&#8217;re all about the details yet we keep it simple. We&#8217;re juxtaposed.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/hard-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18825" title="hard-3" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/hard-3.jpg" alt="hard-3" width="579" height="345" /></a></p>
<p>And the eco credentials? The products are made with 100% wool felt (a sustainable natural fiber) and vegetable tanned leather, which means that they use natural dyes instead of the conventional toxic chromium method. A great gift for the man in your life (pair the <a href="http://shop.hardgraft.com/all/moleskine-case-large" target="_blank">moleskin cover</a> with <a href="http://ecofabulous.com/ecolifestyle/on-the-write-track/" target="_blank">one of these</a>), these products give new meaning to the term &#8220;<a href="http://shop.hardgraft.com/all" target="_blank">working class hero.&#8221;</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;We truly believe that beauty radiates from within, but a fabulous pair of earrings can&#8217;t hurt!&#8221; And they are fabulous, if we may say so ourselves. Oregon-based jewelry company <a href="http://www.ijadesigns.com/about.html" target="_blank">Ija Designs</a> values substance before style, but has artfully created a line that brings both to the table. Four different <a href="http://www.ijadesigns.com/collections.html" target="_blank">collections</a> offer something for everyone, from the &#8220;playfully impish&#8221; to the &#8220;luxuriously fine.&#8221;<span id="more-18780"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/ija-bracelet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18783" title="ija-bracelet" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/ija-bracelet.jpg" alt="ija-bracelet" width="579" height="330" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;re particularly fond of the <a href="http://www.ijadesigns.com/products/N1201.html" target="_blank">Gull necklace</a> for white tee days at the office, and the <a href="http://www.ijadesigns.com/products/R1101.html" target="_blank">Arrow ring</a>, a Frank Gehry-inspired art installation for your hand.</p>

<p>With a studio run on 100% renewable energy, <a href="http://www.ijadesigns.com" target="_blank">Ija Designs&#8217;</a> green philosophy is a way of life.

Now add the fact that standard gowns are washed in all sorts of nasty chemicals in the name of &#8220;disinfectants&#8221; and you have one of the least desirable items to sport when welcoming in your new bundle of joy. Guess what ladies, you&#8217;re not the first mama to raise this concern.<span id="more-18573"></span></p>

Fein Designs</a> in our <a href="http://ecofabulous.com/ecoguides/eco-gift-guide-for-the-style-maven/" target="_blank">eco gift guide for the style maven</a>, but having been obsessed with the pieces ever since (almost every one of us in the office has a ring!) we thought we&#8217;d better do a full post and formal shout out to the finger candy we&#8217;ve fallen for.<span id="more-18510"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/j-fein-rings.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18518" title="j fein rings" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/j-fein-rings.jpg" alt="j fein rings" width="579" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Inspired by her grandmother&#8217;s jewelry boxes filled with gemstones, precious metals and costume jewelry, designer <a href="http://www.jfeindesigns.com/category_s/45.htm" target="_blank">Jessica Fein</a> uses vintage pieces to remake one-of-a-kind rings and earrings on a sustainably harvested wood base. The reinvented pieces are at once whimsical and elegant.</p>
<p><a href="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/j-fein-earrings.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18514" title="j fein earrings" src="http://ecofabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/j-fein-earrings.jpg" alt="j fein earrings" width="579" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>Ranging from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jfeindesigns" target="_blank">$30-$45</a> the rings are some of the most affordable eco-friendly jewelry we&#8217;ve seen. And the latest? An earring line with the same structured wood base and funky reinvented heirloom pieces. Shop for J.
