We here at Cool Mom Picks are all about being kind to the environment. But trying to live that way can be a challenge, particularly in you live in a not-so-green state like I do.

I'm so glad I found Emerald Market, a new shopping blog from Karen Walrond (of Blogging Baby and Chookooloonks fame). Her featured items are not only hip and chic, they're all earth friendly too.

I love the $15 Organic Tee (pesticide-free, in case you're wondering) and I can't help but check out the Elephant Dung stationery. Yes, you read that correctly.

So if you're looking for great stuff that's eco-chic, we say check out Emerald Market. Who knew being green could be so stylish and easy?    -Kristen
