We know this trend has been around the block once or twice, but it shows no signs of slowing down. Color blocking is still going strong, and we suspect it has something to do with the flattering effect color placement can have on the figure. Or, maybe it’s just fashion’s current love affair with all things mod and “Mad Men.” Regardless, we suggest that you incorporate a piece or two from this trend into your eco friendly clothing wardrobe. We think these pieces will make you the chicest chic on the block!

MARC by Marc Jacobs Eames Colorblock Silk Dress

Don’t be fooled by the preppy colors in this structured silk shift. Simple and straightforward, it makes an elegant, modern statement that is right on trend. $498 at www.nordstrom.com.

Yoki Celia Color Block Platform Wedges

Velvety lime green and bright yellow make this a total statement color block sandal. If you can rock platforms this high (5.5″ wedge and a 1.75″ platform), then these bold, vegan shoes are ideal for you. One of the most fun styles we’ve ever seen, your feet can’t help but be happy wearing them. An economical $35 at www.lulus.com.

Little Tee by Semis Paris

It may be little, but it packs a big punch. This adorable tank reminds us of a beach ball with its colorful panels. Easy to dress up or down, we love the way it looks with white jeans as shown on the model. Very summer-y. $70 at www.junoandjove.com.

Big Buddha Pippin Vegan Handbag

A ladylike, vegan leather shoulder bag gets mod with bold colors that will pop against any outfit. This is a great way to incorporate the trend into your existing wardrobe. Just remember to keep the rest of your look simple. $75 at www.mooshoes.com.

Ethos Paris Eco Friendly Iberia Dress

Like a popsicle on a summer day, this brightly blocked dress with its juicy hues, will keep you cool and happy. Made from 100% organic cotton, the loose fit flatters with a drawstring at the bottom for a versatile hem. $82 at www.nancysgonegreen.com.

It’s almost summer and time to catch a wave. Not a surfer? No worries, you can still connect with the waves by wearing a piece of Betty Belt’s cool Upcycled Surfboard Resin Jewelry.

Each pendant, earring and ring in this collection is made from leftover resin from the surfboard-building process. Rather than ending up in a landfill, it has been repurposed into durable, colorful jewelry that simply screams “summer.” What’s even cooler, is that each stripe in the designs is from a surfboard that was made in California, and is somewhere out there cruising the waves. And, like the waves themselves, no two pieces in this collection are alike. $23-$48 at www.bettybelts.com.

For years, we have viewed popcorn as little more than a vehicle for Milk Duds at the movies (hey – don't judge 'til you've tried it!). Then we tasted the gourmet, organic flavors of 479 Degree Popcorn and popcorn snobs were born.

479 Degree Popcorn is for those discerning palettes that appreciate a little gourmet snacking! Named for the perfect temperature for popcorn popping, each handmade batch is flavored with unusual, yet addictive, combinations. From the sophisticated taste of the Black Truffle and White Cheddar, to the elegance of the sweet Fleur de Sel Caramel, there is a flavor for every mood, every taste bud. We like the Box Sets, which feature multiple flavors, or for those DIYers, there are even Pop It Yourself kits to whip up in your own kitchen. Check them out at www.479popcorn.com. You’ll never look at popcorn the same way again. Prices start at $16 for single half gallon canisters; $19 for 12 small pouches.

Mineral makeup in a liquid, rather than a messy powder? Yes, please! We (along with Brooke Burke) have become obsessed with Illuminaré’s Mineral Foundations that go on beautifully and offer an SPF of 20, along with UVA and UVB protection. It's basically having your foundation, concealer and sunscreen conveniently packaged in one little tube!

Available in three finishes, from moisturizing to mattifying, these highly pigmented formulas can stand alone or be mixed and matched to achieve the look of healthy perfect skin. We recommend applying them with Illuminaré’s eco friendly Fast Application Pad, a large fabric pad with an antibacterial mesh center that can be tossed in the wash and used again and again. It's our new favorite way to put our best faces forward. $27 for foundations, $10 for Fast Application Pad at www.illuminarecosmetics.com.

Do you love bacon? Then why don’t you marry it! While we suspect marrying bacon is illegal in most states, apparently being buried in it is not. The Bacon Coffin from J&D Foods offers true bacon lovers the chance to spend eternity with their favorite pork product for the low, low price of $2,999.99. SERIOUSLY?!

The two men (surprise, surprise) behind J&D Foods believe that everything should taste like bacon. They started with bacon salt and have since expanded to include other bizarre, bacon themed products (lip balm, anyone?), including this steel casket, finished with a bacon and pork shading. It even comes with a bacon memorial tube and a bacon scented air freshener. SERIOUSLY?! If you are dead, how can you smell it? They might be on to something though, because if you love bacon so much that you want to be buried in it, we are betting that you might get your wish sooner than you think with all that cholesterol. We think that, for nearly $3 grand, this is a fine example of 'porking' the public. $2,999.99 at www.jdfoods.net.

What time is it? It's time to make a difference, by sporting a colorful Flex Watch! Available in 11 vibrant hues, each color represents a different charity, with 10% of the purchase price going to that cause.

Each flexible watch is available in two sizes, and the silicone bands can be purchased separately for mix and match fun. More than just telling time, these watches tell a story and, while not eco friendly, they raise awareness for worthwhile organizations, including the Keep-A-Breast Foundation (pink), Mariners Outreach (red) and Nika Water (blue). Plus, the company offers free shipping anywhere in the U.S. Isn't it time that you let your accessories make a statement about more than just your wardrobe? $40 for the watch, $15 for additional bands at www.flexwatches.com. (Note: the bands only fit the Big Flex, not the Flex-Mini).

We're getting there – it's almost picnic season. So get prepared with an Eco Picnic Basket like this one from Uncommon Goods! Spread a blanket and enjoy the warmer temperatures with a picnic, packed in this willow basket, made from all natural and renewable resources.

Not only is this basket adorable, but it also contains everything you need for the perfect picnic, whether you are going family style or just enjoying a romantic outing for two. It includes bamboo plates, a cutting board, utensils, wine glasses, made from recycled glass, and embroidered natural cotton napkins. The only thing you have to supply is the food! It's a great excuse to get outside, plus it makes a great housewarming or bridal shower gift. $150 at www.uncommongoods.com.

We know Earth Day was last week, but you can still join Florence Welch, Mark Ruffalo, Rosario Dawson and Spike Lee to do your part. These celebrities have each designed a label for Kiehl's Since 1851 Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask, as part of the Limited Edition Label Art series. Kiehl's will donate 100% of the proceeds to Recycle Across America (RAA), a nonprofit dedicated to introducing comprehensive solutions that simplify recycling and make it more effective.

Purchasing this limited edition mask will not only make a difference to the environment, but it will also make a difference to your skin! Rare Earth's key ingredient, Amazonian White Clay, has unique properties that remove dirt, toxins, excess oil and dead cells, and it has been shown to effectively minimize pores.

Known for its commitment to environmental issues, Kiehl's donated $100,000 to RAA, in order to create standardized recycling labels that will be offered to select K-12 schools across the U.S. It is in keeping with the company's own Recycle and Be Rewarded Program, which allows customers to return empty bottles in exchange for product. Since 2009, 500,000 empty Kiehl's bottles have been collected! It’s another win/win from one of the leaders in the beauty industry! $23 at www.kiehls.com.

Cold weather can do strange things to a body – red noses, chapped lips, shrinkage in the (ahem) southernmost parts of a guy's anatomy. But, thanks to some creative knitters who, in our opinion, might have a little too much time on their hands, men can cross that last one off their lists of cold weather woes. "Willie Warmers," and "Peeter Heaters" are just a couple of examples of knit covers for the male appendage that keep it nice and toasty in the chilliest of conditions. SERIOUSLY?!

Okay, we understand earmuffs, scarves and mittens, because those appendages are on the exterior of our bodies. But, unless you are an exhibitionist, is this little "warmer" really a necessity for men? Isn't that what long underwear and, well, PANTS are for? Plus, depending on the type of yarn used, it seems like this little "cozy" could be a bit irritating. And, speaking of irritating, we are having a hard time warming up to the $15-$32 price tags. A sock is cheaper. $15-$32 at www.etsy.com.

Backpacks are moving out of the hallways and onto the runways! They have been seen slung across the stylish shoulders of the Olsen twins, Rhianna and Kate Bosworth – just to name a few of the A-listers rocking this trend. Maybe it’s the convenience of being hands-free, or maybe it’s the way it can hold everything, from your work essentials to your gym clothes. Whatever the reason, it’s a trend we are backing with these eco friendly fashion styles.

Baggu Sailor Stripe Backpack

We can ““sea” why this nautical style is such a hit. It’s made from 100% recycled cotton and features a drawstring interior with a secure snap and buckle exterior flap. It’s a crisp look that plays well with all your weekend wear, and the economical price tag is unbeatable! $35 at www.kaightshop.com.

JADEtribe Salinas Backpack

A little beachy, a little boho, this fair trade backpack is handmade by women in South East Asia. The cool Ikat pattern is a perfect example of the current tribal trend, and we love the earthiness of the rope detailing. $120 at www.jadetribe.com.

Mar Y Sol Zadie Crocheted Backpack

A sporty style with a feminine flare best describes this crocheted raffia backpack. The adjustable straps keep it secure while you stroll, and the drawstring and double snap closure keep everything in place. Perfect for summer outings. $119 at www.shopmarysol.com.

Ashley Watson Ruff Backpack

This cool, slouchy style has urban chic appeal. We love the deep shade of green, as well as the “green” manufacturing, including Watson’s signature recycled leather and hemp/cotton twill lining. Large and roomy, it’s a look you can carry year round. $295 at www.ashleywatson.ca.

Modcloth Tech on Your Trek Backpack

There’s just something so sweet about this vegan quilted aqua backpack, made from faux leather. It’s dainty enough to pull off with a summer sundress, and sturdy enough to hold your iPad or other electronic tablets should the need arise. An economical $49.99 at www.modcloth.com.
