When a designer we love to splurge on, comes out with a collection with every piece $100 or less, well, it just makes us love her more! Deborah Lindquist Eco Couture has done just that with her Green Queen collection. While the line is referred to as a group of “basics,” there is nothing basic about these ready-to-wear pieces that stand alone as beautifully as they work together.

This “younger sister” line features the same eco luxury for which Lindquist is known, with trendy pieces crafted from sustainable, organic and recycled knits. Designed to coordinate with the Eco Couture line, it features dresses, tops, leggings and wraps in black and white, that are easily mixed and matched for numerous combinations. Ranging from the sporty “Katie” tank (shown in newsletter/$60) to the sexy “Faye” dress (shown right/$90), they are ideal for all your summer travels. Check it out at www.deborahlindquist.com.

Whether you have a romantic dinner for two or a night out with the girls planned for this Valentine’s Day, you will steal the spotlight in this super sexy, economical number from Urban Outfitters.

Part of the Urban Renewal collection, this red-hot dress is made from surplus material that drapes fluidly over all your curves. Pair it with some gold strappy sandals and accessories and you’ll be all set to paint the town red! $39 at www.urbanoutfitters.com.

Summer's best-dressed women will be wearing summer dresses. Why? Because there is nothing cooler under the sun when it comes to comfort and style. Unlike pants and shorts, dresses are easy, breezy, and perfect for almost any occasion. Whether running to the market or lunching with the ladies, all of these eco friendly dresses will make you look put together without making you break a sweat.

Stewart+Brown Olivia Crepe Shift Dress

This simple style lends itself to a number of looks for both day and night, and is the ideal backdrop for belts, cardigans and scarves. Made from 100% surplus crepe, the soft pleats and drape flatter many a body shape, and we love the bright yellow color (although it is also available in black or white). $148 at www.stewartbrown.com.  

Popomomo Josephine Dress

Demurely sexy is the only way we can describe the look of this dress, shown here in one of the season's hottest shades. Peek-a-boo sleeves and a cut out back offer a glimpse of sun-kissed skin and prove that, when it comes to attracting attention, sometimes it's better to whisper than scream. $190 at www.popomomo.com.

ecoSkin Carina Print Dress

Get on trend with the tribal print in a classic style. The Tencel blend has a hint of spandex to accentuate all your assets. Available in blue or purple. $140 at www.ecoskincollections.com.

Ermie Raku Silk Tank Dress

Whisper soft and oh-so-silky, this beautiful dress slips over your head and grazes your body beautifully. Hand made, it features a longer back hem and a wide, removable sash for cinching the waist. Plus, the pattern and color combo is just plain fun! $260 at www.beklina.com.

A hot date on February 14th calls for a hot dress. We fell in love with this Urban Renewal Surplice Drape Dress, made from recycled deadstock fabric, for the way it seductively drapes the body in luscious folds and curves.

Glam it up with killer heels and a cool necklace (like the ones shown here) for your big night, or add flats and a denim jacket for a cute daytime look too. Available in four colors, but we firmly believe that red is the way to go! Only $59 at www.urbanoutfitters.com.
