Zoe & Zac Attack! The eco-friendly Payless brand debuts this month.

After much anticipation, the eco-friendly shoe line, dubbed Zoe & Zac, has arrived at Payless. Click here to view all of the current styles. As mentioned before, what makes this line so special is the fact that it is the first completely eco shoe collection to be offered in a mass retailer at affordable prices. For example, my two favorite styles – the zoe&zac Tigerlily Espadrille Wedge ($26.99) and the zoe&zac Ginger Mary Jane ($24.99), pictured, features organic cotton uppers a knickel-free buckle, and recycled rubber outsoles, and recycled PET (from pop cans and water bottles). What’s your favorite style?

Earth Day Fashion Tips

by fashionpulse

Earth day is here, and more than ever, we need to think about what we can each do to show a little love for Mother Earth and be a little more gentle with how we think about consumption and disposal.

Here are a few ways you can stay fashionable and earth-friendly all year long -some of these might be “duh!” but a little reminder every now and then doesn’t hurt anybody:

1) Read the label-where is the product made, does it include any organic or recycled fibers? A great brand to check out: Alternative Apparel.

2) Support fledgling, eco-friendly brands and designers.

3) Shop Etsy.com, shop vintage, and try to reduce your dry cleaning. Wash by hand, using products such a Woolite when possible.

4) Donate your too big/too small/never worn/wear too infrequently apparel items to resale shops; those in need will appreciate it more than your closet!

5) Fix clothes that may need a slight makeover, like getting shoes resoled or those stiletto “tips” put on, instead of trashing them and getting new items.
