Clothing made out of wood? You bet! Lyocell — commonly known as Tencel — is a cellulose-based fiber derived from dissolving wood pulp. A member of the Rayon family, this sustainable man-made fiber has a laundry list of benefits. For starters, lyocell is impeccably soft, breathable, lightweight, and you guessed it ... comfortable. It's safe to say this lovely fiber has quickly become one of my favorites.
As you've probably noticed by now, I have a total weakness for sweaters. And just because summer is nearing, that doesn't mean my sweater obsession will be going away any time soon, especially now that I've found the perfect one for all seasons.
I'm all about the subtle details, so when it comes to my wardrobe, I typically gravitate toward clothing thats incorporates free flowing elements and structural details that work together to create a unique and effortless design. Enter the perfect silk crepe tunic from Dallas Daws Designs.

I did some serious "window shopping" on their website and handpicked my favorite items, which just so happen to be eco-friendly, too!
There's a reason menswear staples have withstood the test of time. From classic silhouettes ... to durable fabrics ... to functional detailing, they're designed to be lived in. After realizing these must-have items were nowhere to be found in the women's clothing department, U.S. based clothing company, Tradlands, decided it was time to "borrow from the boys."
