Who doesn’t love a Wild Thing? Urban Outfitters is wearing its love for the upcoming book-turned-movie on its chest (and legs), Opening Ceremony drafted an entire collection of clothes and accessories inspired by Max and company, and even the sneaker makers at Lakai have a pair of limited-edition kicks dedicated to the beloved children’s classic. We couldn’t resist putting our own spin on this sartorial meme. Let the wild rumpus start!

Between pale, barely there nudes (Alexander Wang, Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg) and opulent, theatrical kissers (Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu), runway lips left no middle ground at New York Fashion Week. We asked some of our favorite eco-beauty experts—including makeup artist Jessa Blades, Spirit Demerson of Spirit Beauty Lounge, Ann Francke of Beautorium, and Terri Bly of Nature of Beauty—how to play up our puckers without succumbing to offensive ingredients like parabens, petrochemicals, and lead. From understated neutrals to blistering scarlets, here are six of their best, lipsmacking bets.

Despite its infantile moniker, the bib necklace is making grownups drool—in a good way. With its uncanny ability to add instant oomph to even the most ho-hum of ensembles, fall’s hottest accessory is a way to amp up the drama of your existing wardrobe without blowing a lot of cash. From polished brass chains to pearl-studded fabric blooms, we’ve rustled up six planet-conscious statement pieces, including one you can make yourself in minutes.
Long banished as a faux pas that could have those daring enough to try it arrested by the fashion police, socks with sandals are now one of the hottest looks of the season! Why the change of heart? Well, with our not so sunny economy and fashion focusing (ironically) on moving away from fads and working with what we already own, looks that extend the lifecycles of our clothes make a lot of sense. Not to mention that once you try it, it looks really cute. Who better to show us how to green this inherently eco-conscious trend than the makers of the revolutionary Mohop sandal? Dubbed the ‘infinity sandal’, these wooden platform footbeds with sturdy rivets allow you to loop in any ribbon you want, turning these smart shoes into thousands of different pairs!
