Sigg- Plastic is bhaaad mmmmk!

June 29th, 2008

Everyone know plastic is bad right? Plastic bags, bird strangling 6 pack holders etc etc. Humans use and discard a great amount of plastic, and it’s been proven not healthy for storing food and water. The Swiss company Sigg makes these slick bottles with a special internal liners that are resistant to scent and flavor, so you can rest assured one beverage will not contaminate the next. Here is a blurb from their site on why plastic is harmful for storage…

Recently, there has been a lot of press concerning Lexan plastic water bottles (Polycarbonate #7) leaching harmful chemicals into the container’s ingredients. It’s extremely important to note that SIGG bottles exceed FDA requirements and have been thoroughly tested to ensure 0.0% leaching – so they are 100% safe.

They have partnered with stopglobalwarming.org to create this somewhat snooty bottle that trumpets its superiority, and lets everyone know you are doing your part…to not use more plastic. We love it, but if you prefer not to wear your pride on your sleeve, you can find many other unique designs, one is sure to suit your image. I have had a Sigg bottle for a while now, and I can attest to it’s construction and durability…they are great, and you’ll wonder how you got by without it.

Enclothe Death From Above- Aerial Decay

June 28th, 2008

“Mayday Mayday this is ghost plane pilot skeletor I am going down!”. Enclothe is a funky indie clothing shop specializing in high quality t-shirts with some really nice original graphics. Abe Lincoln is their top seller and we also like the Gais Baltar as Jesus your homeboy…it’s true we are Galactica fans. This Death from Above shirt caught my eye first though, and as you can see it’s a ghost ship in the air…perhaps he’s flying around the Bermuda Triangle poaching easy prey.

So maybe this is not the most practical garment, yet it could be the one-piece sexy loungewear you’ve been seeking for those days when you can laze around the house, perhaps impressing the boyfriend (or girlfriend) with how hot you look in your navy blue organic french terry romper. It would probably make a cute easy on/easy off bathing suit cover up, too. Featuring a strapless tube style top with elastic banding and a 3 button closure, shaping is provided with a drawstring waist, while the shorts bottoms have a 3 inch inseam. All your goodies are covered, yet in a comfortable and cute casual style that is eco conscious. All this in 100% organic cotton, machine washable in warm water, made in the U.S.A.

Ottodulf Smock: indie organic hooded goodness

June 23rd, 2008

How cute is this heavily detailed hooded smock dress? I am smitten. Perhaps it’s the cute model doing it justice, but I’d like to hope this charming dress will look fashionable and sexy on any girl. Made from a dark grey organic cotton and soy blend fabric, softness and excellent drape are the order of the day. A perfect little flirty dress for the summer, be ready to layer it over skinny jeans, opaque tights, hot pants, shorts, or whatever suits you. The smock measures 31 inches long, and features two pockets on the front hem, a bit of ruffling at the neckline and sleeves, and a splash of color with a skinny orange tie and green button at the neck. I really like that it is such a neutral shade, making it easy to add layers of color, or keep on with the neutrality depending on the occasion. Brought to you by indie designer, Anisa Makhoul, Makool Loves You is based out of Portland, OR. All shipping in the US is free.

Cyberoptix Electric Blue Tentacle Tie: Cthulhian neckwear

June 21st, 2008

Sadly I do not wear ties, or I would be all over this electrifying offering from the indie designers at Cyberoptix. Not only have they chosen one of my favorite jewel bright shades of blue, they have graced it with a silk screened jumble of black tentacles. Brings to mind the great old one, Cthulhu, or perhaps an octopus or Architeuthis, the much sought after giant squid. All positive associations in my mind, and I am sure this bright bold necktie will be one hell of a conversation starter. Listed as a standard tie made of microfiber, this tentacled beauty is available in electric blue or sage green through Shana Logic.
