ECO STYLE Lara Miller

Lately I've been searching for fun, vibrant clothes to wear this summer after I give birth to my second child. Lara Miller's eponymous line of easy-to-wear, beautiful clothing has caught my eye. Her fluid, architectural pieces are manufactured in Chicago and created with eco materials like organic cotton, hemp and vegan ahimsa peace silk. For Spring/Summer 12, the collection is a blend of wearable skirts, dresses and rompers in vibrant colors that have me ready to jump in a cool pond on a hot summer day. 

What are your favorite summer must-have clothing pieces? 

ECO STYLE: NewbarK

This week's Eco Style holds a very dear place in my heart. NewbarK, a collection of lovingly handcrafted shoes and accessories made here in Los Angeles, is the brainchild of my husband Ali's sisters, the beautiful Maryam and Marjan. These two are no strangers to the fashion world (they've been styling celebrities for years) and they knew that they had a market to fill the need for beautiful and durable pieces that are the perfect balance between chic and comfort. I can't tell you how many days I've spent in my NewbarK flats especially when on the go! I love them so much, in fact, that everyone in my office got a pair for the holidays. Needless to say, we've been rockin' our Love Heart Black and White shoes together ever since (and that's what we call "Sharing the Love!")

ECO STYLE: Stella McCartney

Ms. Stella McCartney, queen of eco fashion, truly understand luxury and conscience. Her empire has been built on innovative and gorgeous design that is cruelty-free. And since she's beautifully dressed many forward-minded celebs in her gowns, I'm excited to see what she comes up with for this year's Oscars! Her avant garde take on the fashion show for Fall 2012 only proves how unique she is and I'm sure her frocks will be festive and fabulous. Stay tuned!

PINTEREST with Josie

Isn't Pinterest an endless world of inspiration? I could spend hours looking for color, texture, recipes and all things beautiful.

If you aren't on Pinterest yet, what are you waiting for? Let's inspire each other!You can follow me HERE.

Have a wonderful weekend. I'll be nursing a cold and pinning.

BEHIND THE SCENES Elle Singapore

Greetings from Asia! It's been a wonderful experience exploring Singapore and Malaysia and with good reason—my cosmetics will soon be in Sephora here! I also shot for the cover of Elle Singapore and me and my baby bump got to wear this cute drummer-girl inspired outfit. I'll let you know when the issue is out.

But speaking of travel, one of the questions I get asked frequently is:

What are your travel essentials?

Well, here you go. I never leave home without 100% Pure Argan Oil, Argan Bear Naked Wipes, Argan Cleansing Oil and the Argan Moisturizing Stick. Even when you're on a plane, take a moment to go to the bathroom to cleanse and moisturize your skin. Plane travel can be rough on your face and by keeping your skin hydrated, drinking plenty of water and avoiding salty foods, you'll land and look like a true Argan beauty.

Sending you love across the miles,

ECO STYLE Oeuf

What do you get when you cross organic clothing, unusual toys and eco-friendly furniture? Oeuf. It's a charming and playful online shop that is perfect for your own little oeuf or to find a good gift for someone else's. I'm in love with these little Squeeze-me mittens! How adorable is it that they were designed for you to hold your little one's hand? And with all of their creations equally as clever, it's a sure bet that you're kiddo will be cozy and feel fun since it's like playing dress up every time they wear it!

BEHIND THE SCENES Family Shoot with Redbook

It has been a BUSY week to say the least! We shot our first ever national ad campaign, a magazine shoot and I'm going to Asia tomorrow. Whew!

I just wanted to check in and say make sure to Share the Love by shopping our 15% off sale (code: sharelove) or entering our giveaway and also give you a little peek at the Redbook shoot. Isn't Rumi the cutest? The whole family is going to be in the May issue of Redbook so stay tuned!

ECOSTYLE Hatch

While it's exciting to be pregnant (eating for two!), maternity clothes aren't always as fun. Enter Hatch. This super stylish, thoughtful line takes you from with baby belly to holding a baby since the lines and shapes give you room to grow. Once your pregnancy is over each piece still drapes and fits with ease and comfort. Cool, right? I'm especially a fan of the cozy Wrap which falls somewhere between your favorite sweatshirt and a chic city cape/poncho. I'm also a fan of the fact that they give back to the Every Mother Counts campaign, an organization that spread awareness about maternal and child health issues globally. Check it out here.

BEHIND THE SCENES Going Green with Glamour

Sending you love from New York as we shoot for Glamour's Green Issue which you'll see in April! The wardrobe of choice? Giant leaves! Should be interesting. It was a great day hanging out with some other Green Goddesses, the lovely Trinette Faint, Summer Rayne Oaks and Tata Harper as we sifted through piles of shoes and planned on how we're going to save the world.

ECO STYLE Stewart + Brown

What makes Stewart + Brown so great, besides that they're are based out of our city of Los Angeles and have been at the front of the sustainable fashion movement for a decade, is that as trained artists, they marry their love for the craft of wearable goods with art effortlessly. (Just look at these images from their Holiday 2011 lookbook!)

Beyond this, their clothing is created from GMO and pesticide-free fibers, crafted using reusable textiles and they give back for every purchase you make. Coupled with the fact that the clothes are truly wearable and you can count us as big fans.
