Now that New York Fashion Week is long gone, I will just put this out there: I am totally lime green jello of any blogger who got to cover any aspect of NY Fashion Week, especially those that covered The Green Shows. Maybe this little blog will be able to cover the eco fabulousness at the next one. A girl can dream!

Here’s a round up of New York Fashion Week’s green scene from some of my favorite greenies around the interwebs:

• Ideal Bite is glad they opted to ditch the tents and go downtown:   Fashion Smashion…Unless It’s Eco

• Inhabitat gives us the run down on its fave runway shows:  NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: Top 5 Green Runway Shows

• An awesome slideshow of the greener side of style from Treehugger:  Green Fashion: New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 Ethical Fashion Show Highlights (Slideshow)

• Summer Rayne Oakes, eco fashionista extraordinaire, gives us the lowdown on the “Don’t Bag Indonesia’s Rainforest” event:  If the Fashion Industry were a Celebrity, she’d be scandalous…

• Ecouterre just covers it all, from Izzy Lane to Bahar Shahpar:  Ecouterre

See? You don’t have to be a frump to dress eco chic!

One of the greenest things you can  do (besides buying local) is cook at home. Say what? You heard me. Just think about it:

• It saves gas and you don’t have to pay to park;
• You’re not paying for flooty tooty (fancy schmancy in laymen’s terms) napkins, tablecloth and overall ambience;
• You don’t have to worry about your, uh, spirited kids pissing off some couple trying to grope each other under the table;
• No un-eco-friendly take home containers;
• The kids can get involved and help, which makes them more likely to actually eat something remotely healthy;
• You get to use all of the yummy, local organic produce you brought home from the farmers market.

My only dilemma involves meal planning. I’m not good at it. I have printed out little meal plan forms, I’ve read all sorts of blogs and articles, and I just can’t get with it. Maybe it’s just my free spirit (read: flaky). I’m one of those that waits until 5:30, and I’m like, “What the heck are we going to eat? Everything’s frozen!”

This is why I love the interwebs. Just a quick search, and I can find all sorts of high brow ideas that are translated into kiddlet appropriate fare. My fave resources are:

• Gastrokid
• GOOP
• Cookie Mag’s One Little Bite
• Tastespotting

I always get very simple and delicious ideas from these sites, and (most of the time) the kidlets approve. I have one admittedly “picky eater,” but I think some of these simple flavors will help my littles appreciate good food as much as I do.
