Robbie Adrian’s luxe, organic baby blankets might just be one of the only things out there softer than your baby’s, well, you know. The Northern California-based company (which also produces toddler bedding and adult throws) is the brainchild of friends and mothers Robbie Mahlman and Susan Doris. When neither of them could find natural blankets for their kids, family, or friends, they decided to make their own. Their styles range from cozy organic cotton fleece and plush organic cotton velour trimmed in all-natural or peace silk to the perfect lightweight flannel blanket (available Spring 2009). Even better, they’re machine washable and dryable. Kind of makes choosing your next blanket child’s play.

Glam glassware always adds unexpected cool points to a desk or dinner table. However, you don't have to let the wasteful production techniques of some glassmakers cramp your style. At Superdeluxe NYC, each product is made-to-order by the hands of designers Adrienne Wong and Karin Spraggs. From cups to plates, the boutique has a variety of eye-catching decoupaged designs, ranging from peacock feathers to monograms, made from soy or water-based inks and recycled paper, as well as water-based glues and sealants. Anyone who says eco can't be elegant just needs to look in your pantry.

There are some rules of fashion that should never be broken: Scrungees should never be worn outside the comfort of your home, pajama pants as office attire are undeniably UNacceptable, and horizontal stripes are an absolute no no. Okay, so maybe that last rule of thumb is a bit more of the bendable kind…but only (we repeat ONLY) if you’re a Wunderwurks lamp and your lovely little name is Jupiter. Made entirely from EVA (a fully recyclable material), this modern lady isn’t afraid to flaunt her handmade shade wherever she goes. Plus Wunderwurks makes sure to keep waste to an absolute minimum by recycling any extra materials that pop up during the production process, re-melting scraps, and even using excess adhesive to seal shipping boxes. And all the effort, well, it’s certainly worth it. Because she sure does light up a room, doesn’t she?
