Earth Girls are Easy


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters make their next jeans purchase organic, we'll keep the weight of 75 male astronauts in pesticide-treated cotton out of production.

Cocktail Tidbit
Most of the “alien language” in the 1988 film is just dialogue read backwards.

What's better than a spaceship with furry aliens? Easy: Down-to-earth, cute clothes that won't make you look like one. EarthGirls boutique, which landed in Andersonville and online late last year, pulls together eco-friendly fashions from about 20 designers, sustainably produced jewelry, skin-care products, and candles, and puts 'em under one roof. Before anything makes their stock list, owners, lifelong friends, and veteran shoppers Silvija Ziman and Kristina Grbavac ask themselves: Would we buy it? Lately, Silvija is all over Del Forte's organic cotton jeans in the ultraslimming dark wash, while Kristina swears by paraben-free, skin-brightening Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel. After the ravages of this alien winter, we want both...and then some.

Wanna Try?
EarthGirls, available online and at Andersonville Galleria, 5247 N. Clark St. b/t Berwyn and Foster Aves. (312-458-9397). Del Forte Dahlia Ciello Wash Jeans, $190; Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel, $39.
