Book Review of style, naturally by Summer Rayne Oakes

Summer Rayne Oakes (model, eco-fashionista and television media host) gives a big boost to the sustainable fashion movement with this fun to read and informative fashion book.

Style, Naturally is a must have resource for those who want to know more about the sustainable fashion and beauty industry and how to access it easily. It is chock full of beautiful, inviting photos of fashion and beauty products that will make you want to shop green till you scream. The shoe section alone provides over a dozen pages of photos of shoes you will covet.

The book covers clothing, shoes, beauty products, handbags and jewelry.
The sections are loaded with designer profiles, tips on easy ways to go green, style spotlights and hundreds of photographs. And Summer gives shout-outs to inspiring eco-fashion and beauty pioneers such as Katharine Hamnett, Horst and Safia Minney of People Tree (who knew she was so beautiful?).

There is a comprehensive resource section in the back. In it you will find a wealth of information to help you move forward on your eco-fashion journey, including explanations of the meaning of various clothing certification labels (to help you avoid greenwashing) and definitions of some eco-friendly fibers you may not yet be familiar with.

Summer makes it easy and fun to make informed choices with this hip style guide. Check it out at www.summerrayne.net.
