Green Chest Waxing- Harrison Ford for Deforestation

"In an effort to showcase the pain involved in deforestation, Harrison willingly subject himself to the painful process of stripping his chest of all its follicles,” according to Access Hollywood.

“Having worked with Conservation International (CI) for 15 years, it was Harrison’s hope that his trip to the salon might just shock people into thinking “green.” CI operates in more than 40 countries to combat climate change, protect species, and to work with and assist local and indigenous communities.”

Kudos to Harrison Ford!

LilyLilyShop.com

LilyLilyShop.com has gone eco-glam! At last a showcase in DC (at the DEKKA) with eco-friendly designer Lara Miller!

From my previous posts, you probably know I am obsessed with Lara Miller for her chic combinations of everything glamorous with eco-friendly textiles.

Right now I'm drooling over the Kyro Dress ($220) which is a lovely deep chestnut color, that can be worn as a halter, tube, or criss-cross front dress. The versatility of a dress like this means EASY PACKING as we jet set this summer to Monaco, the Hampton's, or Cabo! (Yes, I am already having nightmares of packing next season as I schedule these trips, still on a quest for the perfect eco-friendly bikini, at least I can go nude in the South of France! What's more eco-friendly than Au natural. Ya, right.) The Bamboo Jersey blend makes this gem of a dress ever so packable! Lara Miller's trademark FLIP line is my solution for the summer! Check her out on LilyLilyShop.com or at Beauty Night Out next Wednesday!
