Two Must Have Tees

Want an eco friendly, cute, comfy tee that will take you seamlessly from Summer to Fall?   Smartwool and Ibex have some wonderful options.  I love the feminine details on this Flight tee from Smartwool.   It has ruching at the shoulder and a graphic on the side depicting flight.  The super flattering fit is comfortable and generous and it feels great on.  This would work great with jeans, skirts, or yoga pants. 

The Merino Logo T is a fun versatile tee.  This tee also has a feminine cut and looks cute dressed up or down.  The fit is true to size.

I'm very fond of Ibex's cool logo and this tee features the goat logo in the center of the shirt.   It's small and unassuming but adds a little spice and keeps things interesting.   

Both tops are perfect for travel and outdoor adventures because they don't hold odor, pack great, and help regulate your body temperature. 

  I'm an 8/10 and took mediums in both tees.  They are comfy and seem to get softer after each wash.  Both tops come in several fun colors and are a must have for the low maintenance adventure wardrobe.

Ibex Pez Long Sweater

Need a sweater that will keep you cozy warm this winter?  Check out the Pez Long Sweater from Ibex.  It's super warm and versatile, functioning as a sweater and as a coat.  That extra length envelops you in soft eco friendly wool that breathes and keeps you comfortable.  I like Ibex for its environmental policy and attention to animal welfare ensuring that their sheep are well cared for and not mulesed.

It's machine washable, so you can play hard in this without worrying about wrecking it, it's durable and made for the active.  Wool is ideal for active people and travelers as it doesn't retain odor and it regulates body temperature.  It looks great with jeans, leggings and boots, and over a dress. With a hat, gloves, and scarf, you can change up the look by adding different colors, and wear it for a coat in moderate cold.   It's nice enough to wear out to dinner, but rugged enough to wear on a camping trip.  Find it HERE.

Sustainable Fashion: tika merino

Look at this gorgeous hoodie tunic from Tika Merino.  I'm in love with the rich dark charcoal carbon color and the flattering, versatile style.  A piece like this is a wardrobe staple.

The hood creates a beautiful neckline and the fit is flattering.  It's great with jeans and boots or over a dress or skirt. We think of wool as a winter fiber, but because of its breathability and adaptability, it's good for every season.  I would (and will) wear this over linen on a cool summer night.  It has crossover appeal being both sexy and sophisticated, but also works for the casual and would go from an evening out to sitting around a campfire.

Perfect for travel since it is great for diverse climates, it can be worn as a dress, top, or outer layer for warmth. It's  lightweight and won't add a lot of bulk, the wool repels spills and stains (did you hear that, mamas?), and resists odor and wrinkles.  This will forever go into my suitcase and, I have a feeling, will be worn to tatters.

Tika Merino is based in New Zealand and sources their wool from farms which are audited and certified to meet strict environmental, social and animal welfare standards, ensuring free range "healthy happy" sheep.  It's natural, sustainable, and renewable.  their designs are inspired by the Central Otago landscape where they are made, and with respect to that environment, Tika Merino has developed specific programs to minimize their effects on this unusual terrain.  Obviously I'm ga-ga for this hooded tunic, but they have many other wonderful pieces too.  Find them HERE.
