| ARTISAN / ECOSALON HOME Jul 1, 2008 at 9:00 am by Kim Derby Have You Ever Felt So Green? When I think of felt - I think of 5th grade. That’s the year my best friend, Eden, and I created a 2-foot-high UCLA basketball player out of papier-mache. We captured him mid-stride with an orange Styrofoam basketball hanging from his hand.

Last week I thought I was back in the middle of a New York summer; Saturday night I shivered my way through the evening as the weather apparently found it hilarious that I had donned a sun dress for the night; and today it's warm and sunny again.

To me, the wrap is a stylish and essential choice. When it comes to wraps, I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity shopper.
