Lucky's favorite denim sites.

Browse hundreds of earth-friendly pieces—Ananas' recycled handbags, underpinnings from Enamore, Larsen Gray dresses, and more—at this site, which, as a huge bonus, always offers free shipping. And click over to the special Eco Styling section, where experts can help you turn your wardrobe entirely green.
This brand has one of the highest profiles in the eco-conscious clothing market, thanks in no small part to the fact that it's the project of Ali Hewson—wife of Bono. Edun emphasizes using organic materials and creating sustainable trade in developing areas of the world. It has a particular knack for T-shirts: The colors are subtle; the patterns are unexpected and just edgy enough; and they all have a really pretty feel.
The online portal of Boston's first green boutique stocks a well-edited array of stylish brands—including slinky party dresses from Larsen Gray and skinny Serfontaine denim—and packs each item's listing with tons of helpful information. Every piece is photographed from a variety of angles and includes icons signifying its green elements: locally sourced, sustainable, fairly traded, and more.

The online home of this forward-thinking Chicago store boasts a great selection of wear-with-everything staples like wrap dresses from Habitude and drapey cotton vests by Ecoganik. The site's Eco-Smart section is also packed with information on how to think earth-friendly, from sourcing sustainable materials to business practices.
The varied price points here match my own aesthetic. Plus, I like the fully shoppable Look of the Week feature.

Manhattan's most luxurious store, come to life: We could spend hours drooling over the shoe department alone (Manolo, Louboutin, Alia, Prada), but we're also obsessed with the ultraluxe beauty section, not to mention...oh just about everything else in there.
