SO…you missed the ‘EARTH day’ celebration bus for 2009? Here’s a perfect ‘GOING ETHICAL’ option for the [fashionably] late and the (not so ready) for the natural burlap texture… HBO + ALABAMA CHANIN created a HIP collaboration to feed your [designer] character…

Natalie Chanin, known for her oh-so–fabulous hand-stitched sustainable couture pieces is bringing us ‘limited edition’ tops just in time to source our ECO-guilt…and the BEST part of it all? From $68-88 [and still ECO–friendly] SPECIAL EDITION… available for a limited time at HBO store or online at www.hbo.com…

…And if that’s [not enough] for your ECO-ego, dabble in recycling creatively on your own and get the book (with sketched instructions + patterns included)… ALABAMA STITCH BOOK $35, by Natalie Chanin + Stacie Stukin, www.alabamachanin.com
