By Bonny Osterhage We heard through the grapevine (actually through InStyle Magazine) that grape is the color du jour! We aren’t talking about lighthearted lavenders or muddied merlots. This is a rich, true shade of purple that plays well with brown and black during the winter months. Not ones to squash a trend, we found so many eco friendly clothes and accessories in the regal hue that we wanted to pick the whole bunch! Chances are you will too. ecoSkin Alpha Dress Show off your shape in grape with this off-the-shoulder, tunic knit dress in Potent Purple. The Tencel blend has a slight touch of spandex to hug your curves. We like the addition of the wide brown belt (not included). $140 at www.ecoskincollections.com. Lina Rennell Fold Clutch Clutches are still going strong and this limited edition version, made from recycled snake skin print leather, is ideal for adding a taste of the grape trend to your wardrobe. The cool, fold over style of this clutch works well for both day and evening. $210 at www.beklina.com.
