Daily Candy Hearts RYANN ecoFashion

Daily Candy DC shines the spotlight on Raina Blyer and her line, Ryann Apparel today.

We are long-time fans of her classy but spunky eco-friendly and sustainably made line, that produces some of the best cut trousers around, eco or not (thankfully hers ARE - in hemp canvas or ahmisa "vegan" silk). This season Ryann brings us the Hal pant and the Renew dress, lending a slightly futuristic vision to eco chic.

Earth Day with Ryann in NYC

This just in from our friends over at Ryann Apparel - a few events to check out if you happen to find yourself in NYC this month...

On April 22nd Ryann celebrates Earth Day at Clay from 5-9pm (25 W. 14th street) with a trunk show featuring the Spring line and Ryann's luxuriously soft line of basics. Attendees will receive a free week pass to Clay, beauty samples from Sonya Dakar, healthy snacks from Natural Nectars and home care products from Lark. (And you thought you wouldn't be getting anything on Earth Day)

Next month, Saturday May 3rd, Ryann will be participating in a fashion show fundraiser for Lyndhurst Historical Preservation. There will be green products to sample, live music and more. Event: 7:30pm 635 South Broadway, Tarrytown, New York Call 914.631.4481 ext 43222 or 43226 for more information.

And if you can't make it out or live nowhere near NYC (like us, here at Fashion Ethic), celebrate by checking out Ryann's new Spring line ONLINE. Gorgeous bamboo/cotton blends are in stock now, and more Spring Ryann pieces are arriving this week!

Shop Safari Styles

At Fashion Ethic we strive to buy on trend, but with a mindful eye towards pieces that will last you once that trend has come and gone.

For this season's Safari looks, start with one of Ryann's bamboo tops as your base. These soft-but-durable ivory garments have fantastic drape and lend effortless sophistication to any outfit.

Adorn yourself with natural jewelry like our Kukui Seed necklace or Coconut bracelets. They'll lend a safari/tribal air to anything you pair them with - and are certainly budget friendly!

Lastly, for a luxe-safari feel (the type of trip where you partake in a cocktail at the lodge as the sun sets over the savannah), nothing could be better than the "Alison" dress by Sublet in natural. This remarkable dress hits on the grecian pleating trend, the dress trend, and the safari look - all in one well-priced piece...talk about sustainable style!
