Title: Eco Chic: Organic Living

Notes:

At a Glance: This is a colorful, well-organized book focused on how to be organic in many aspects of life. It addresses food, clothing, alternative medicine, home decor, and the garden, to name a few of the subject areas. As the title suggests, the book tries to show how being green does not necessarily mean living without color and style. The book provides the reader with suggestions of ways to express him/herself and lead a full life while still being green.

Best for: Anyone interested in being green and stylish at the same time. This book suggests materials for home decorations and clothing, recipes for better cooking, and designs that will make a living space more environment-friendly and more enjoyable - both aesthetically and physically.

Standout Features: Large, colorful pictures. They make everything in the book look attractive. Practical suggestions like the recipes and what kind of toilet paper to use. These tips really make it clear how the little day-to-day things can make a difference.

Keep in Mind: The author is an interiors journalist, so her background is in the design and decorating aspect of the information presented in the book. She was formerly the Deputy Editor of Elle Decoration, and now she writes for a number of style and design magazines and newspapers.
