Stella McCartney is very dedicated to cruelty-free fashion. She could've easily added an eco-friendly line just to jump in the 'green' bandwagon like some designers. But rather she banned the use of genuine leather from her collections! Alternative materials like plastic, nylon and cork are mostly used in the production of her clothes and accessories.

And as you can see with this platform sandals, you can still have chic, stylish sustainable pieces without the use of materials that can be harmful to the environment. I like the clean, simple yet sophisticated design. Very wearable, from jeans to dresses.

I absolutely fell in love with Stella McCartney's series of garments with citrus prints from her Spring 2011 Collection. I first saw one of the dresses in W Magazine and I right then I knew this print will be a must-have for spring and summer. The skirt is very wearable. I don't know about you but this print just puts a smile on my face. Maybe because it screams sunshine!

You can dress it up with a chic blouse or for more of a casual look a sleeveless top. Pair it with pumps or wedge. The silhouette is just perfect. This an investment that you can enjoy for years.

If you feel like stepping up the price tag and the look, consider this sexy yet elegant backless satin citrus print dress. Funny how the price is dictated by the fabric. Twice the fabric, twice the price. But who cares, if you're splurging right?

A lot of items on sale but sizes are limited most of the apparel have one or two sizes available. So, if you find one that's in your size the fashion gods have blesses you! I suggest check it out and see what fabulous treasures awaits you. Happy shopping!

Aside from the chic, fun and youthful designs, I have to give it to Stella McCartney as one of the best in presentation and most innovative show of Resort 2010 Collections. I love that shoes were used to anchor the balloons, a fabulous way to showcase the footwear line. The blow-up dinosaur was a cute touch.

The collection is concise and universal. Lace is making an encore in a few collections. Phillip Lim's has very chic lace dresses in his collection. The belted lace jumpsuit is my fave from Stella McCartney's ensemble. Stripe and geometric shapes are key patterns in the collection. And the obi belt made an appearance on a few dresses and coats.

LeSportsac has been creating functional and stylish bags since I can remember and featured handbags designed by Diane Von Furstenburg, Jonathan Adler and Gwen Stefani. And a recent addition to LeSportSac's designer collection are designs by the fabulous Stella McCartney.

Stella McCartney and LeSportSac both known for developing leather alternatives for accessories and other leather goods is a perfect eco-match! And with Stella McCartney's fashion innovation and LeSportSac's world-class nylon accessories, you can expect nothing but eco-chic and trendy handbags. All handbags are made from 100% recycled  materials. The designs are stylish and I feel the price for each piece are just about right. Here are my top picks from the collection.

Stella, Stella, Stella...Tsk Tsk. Stella McCartney can she be more literal? This Rhumba dress is so busted! Here are three reasons why: First, lacks creativity - ruffles on the sleeves I wonder how long and how many sketches it took to create this dress. Next, uninspired - if the Rhumba is the inspiration behind this dress, then it should be sexy in a tasteful way. And how about  a more festive color than black? The last reason this Stella McCartney 'Rhumba' Dress is my pick for this week's fashion criminal is more of a question. Would someone buy this dress if we it was designed by a less known designer?
