that’s where my boyfriend and i were a year ago. we were were sitting on the beach, ziplining through the rain forest, and getting away from the cold in beautiful costa rica. so in case you are lucky enough to be getting away to someplace warm or if you are living below the equator – here are some bikinis and beach totes you can bring to the beach. lucky you!

on tuesday i posted some really cute ethical and sustainable clothing lines. and yesterday i posted an interview with Gaia Conceptions, a line of comfortable eco-friendly clothing in some really great colors. but what about wardrobe essentials besides everyday clothes? are there eco-friendly shoes, bags, and bathing suits? luckily, thanks to some really smart and passionate designers, the answer is yes!
Terra Plana makes shoes out of materials like recycled memory foam and natural latex. i was really pleasantly surprised by the large selection of super cute shoes! Deux FM makes “eco chic” clothes, like stylish bikinis made of recycled linen, organic cotton, and soy. and Pansy Maiden makes colorful bags out of organic cotton twill. so if you’re looking to finish off your wardrobe with eco-friendly items, these collections have you covered!
UPDATE: Terra Plana is offering the clothing menu readers a 25% discount on their Terra Plana classics shoes! just enter CLOTHINGMENU25 at checkout – expires august 15.
or at least it finally was up here in new england this weekend! hopefully it’s been nice where you are too. for some reason, every year i end up purchasing a new bathing suit – even though i’m not a big swimmer, just a tanner. and that’s limited to the weekends, as long as the weather is cooperating. so i don’t really need 5 bathing suits, but i always end up finding a new style i like!
right now i’m loving these vintage-inspired bathing suit styles that come in a variety of colors and shapes in one-pieces and bikinis. cute, huh?
