I’m happy to announce a new feature here on Victoria-E.com! From now on, I’ll be cross-posting part of my weekly fashion entries from the one of my favorite eco-blogs, Green Options. Of course, I’ll be posting a link to the rest of the entry so you can get all the delicious details. In the past, I featured affordable, eco fashion brands, but from now on, I’ll be doing how-to pieces. Have an idea for a stylish, crafty project or a helpful link? Drop me a line and I’ll credit you in the post! Read on for this week’s “Green Style How-To.”

A mainstay in wardrobes all over the world, denim has been around since the late eighteenth century. Strong and versatile, you can find all kinds of clothing and accessories made from this basic material, including tops, dresses, shoes, and jewelry.

Sustainable denim, made from organic cotton and using vegetable dyes, have gained an immense following in just a short time on the market.

In the current issue of Blueprint magazine, a spread on denim fashion is featured, along with a couple of fantastic fashion options.
