Want to win this terrific bamboo top? Check out details below.

Today was one of those wet, cold, miserable days where the cold just travels up your spine. Do you feel like I do, that Spring needs to be sprung? I am so tired of wearing my turtleneck and corduroys, and could add a little spring sophistication to my wardrobe. Perhaps you do too?

Look no further if you wish to add a fashionable, but sustainable garment to that drab winter wardrobe. Oxygen Required’s spring and fall collections offers sophistication and style along with sustainability since all of their pieces contain bamboo, a fast growing plant, which is harvested in less than three years. The bamboo blended fabrics are soft to the touch. An added benefit to this biodegradable material, according to the Company, is the fibers contain an agent called, “bamboo kun,” which prevents the cultivation of bacteria, resulting in odor free clothes.

How about a little glass bead bangle or ear dangle to show that you care about global warming? Well, this is the intent of Amanda and Jeff Haney, founders of Green Beads for Global Awareness,in the creation of their bead jewelry. Amanda explained, “we wanted to make a difference in some way…. and jewelry seemed like a good idea!”

Instead of donning the ever popular Livestrong bands with your charity du jour, consider highlighting that diminutive wrist with either a beautiful tree green glass (picture to the right) or recycled sea green beaded bracelet with an attached silver “go green” charm. Who said showing your support can’t be done with style? The price I might add can’t be beat. The recycled bead bracelet retails for $15.00 and the tree-green bracelet retails for $12.00.

What else do they sell you wonder?
