"Style with a Conscience"

Two days ago I attended a “Style with a Conscience” event at the home of Steve Glenn, the CEO of "Living Homes." It was a showcase beyond the stigma and possibilities of pre-fab homes, which I wasn't aware of until later. A modern, modular layout constructed with friendly materials, this two-story home is the first to be "LEED" (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certified in the nation. The amazing part is that it was installed in one day!



The other causes for the gathering was for Compai Design, a green design studio from Brooklyn selling their recycled and new apparel pieces and their “how to” recycle clothes books (I got the 99 ways to re-do your tee shirts, since I’m a tee junkie) and the introduction of a new organic cosmetic line from the actress/model Josie Maran.







The catered chow was all organic, though most of it was gone by the time I got there and the spirits provided by “Veev,” an Açai berry derived-alcohol from the Amazon.

I sported my Rabbit Kinney Surfboard tee shirt and someone actually recognized it! That was nice.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary from any other parties… except for the free cosmetic makeovers.
