Go Green at Stacia!

Go Green this Holiday season at Stacia on Montana. I've got the store chock full of affordable eco-luxury gifts for everybody. I've scoured the market for some of the best eco-friendly gifts at all price points. When you give a "green" gift this Holiday, you're sending a message that you care about the environment and you support local artisans.

Great stocking stuffer idea: new Ipanema Brazilian sandals priced at $25 and in an assortment of metallics and patterns. They're 99% recycled rubber so you'll be guilt free with this purchase. I've carried Havaianas at Stacia since 1998, but now I'm a die-hard Ipanema fan. Who wants to wear what everyone else is wearing, right? These sandals are better quality, less expensive, eco, and hipper in my book.

A gift for the surfer chick or wave-lover: now stocking Hawaii surf-artist Heather Brown's colorful, graphic surf prints (matted on sugar-cane paper!) ready for easy framing. The 11 x 14 prints are only $45. Plus we now carry Heather Brown beach-ready graphic tees and hoodies (printed with water-based inks) priced $35-$68.

A gift for the Home-body: Stacia's new Bungalow Home collection features a set of colorful space-dyed patterned pillows and throws made of Bamboo (sold separately or in a set, priced $68-$298.) Forget Missoni's $$$$$pricey blankets and update your living room with a Stacia space-dyed bamboo throw (affordable AND Eco-luxurious!) If you're on even more of a gift budget, I suggest the Bungalow soy candle. Burns cleaner and smells of bamboo, fig, coconut, and the ocean (priced at $38.)

For that sexy someone on your list: I now stock the uber-cool lingerie label, Gypsy, which is handmade in Haleiwa, Hawaii. Sexy leopard-printed bralette and matching undies are my pick! Priced $28-$38.

For the boys: is your gal looking for some heavy metal and something that comes in a tiny box? Stacia now carries the Misa jewelry line of gold and silver necklaces, charms, and earrings. And I'm not talking about costume jewelry here that will turn your neck green. This is the good stuff! 14K gold that will last a lifetime. And all handmade by the artisan, Misa. Her collection fits right in with my bungalow boutique with each piece reminiscent of the ocean's coral reefs and seashells.

Top it off with a hat! Yellow 108 hats are made from recycled materials and salvaged wool. Who knew there was such a thing as a sustainable hat?! But most of all, I love this new Canyon lady shape. A chic update to the fedora you see everywhere. I'm using this floppy hat in my next Fall photo shoot for sure! Priced at an affordable $38.

And lastly, we now carry Seabags of Maine. The quintessential beach carry-all made of recycled sails. These chic totes come in two sizes and make perfect reusable bags for the beach, farmer's market, or just toting around your essentials (some gals have a lot!) Lovin' the metallic stars and anchor appliques for just a touch of sparkle. Takes the reusable bag to a new level! Priced $160-$180.

Stop by Stacia at 808 11th St. and Montana Ave. in Santa Monica and shop my bungalow-inspired boutique for some great Eco-luxury gifts you can't find anywhere else.
