While putting together the new section Kristen Recommends I was once again reminded how inspiring this past year's conscious design and style has been. With passionate young designers pushing the limits of new materials and products becoming more accessible by the day, 2006 holds much promise. Better yet, I am thrilled to see consciously designed products and environments move into the mainstream.

Stay informed and inspired by reading my blog Exquisite: Conscious Style for Everyday Living and yes, my long term readers will notice the blog's new name! I feel it is important to shake things up a bit and move away from using the word sustainable as it just doesn't communicate the aesthetically driven, innovative designers and products I have been showcasing. "Exquisite" is shaping up to be a wonderful meeting place and resource for anyone looking to stay informed or just learn more about conscious style and living.

On the subject of resources, take a peek at my new Kristen Recommends section for some of the best examples of conscious designers and companies. Stay tuned as they will be regularly updated or better yet, let me know what you think!

Happy New Year to you! And may 2006 prove to be a fine vintage for both you and your blog. :) I think the name change/modification is a good idea as it helps to express more accurately your feelings about sustainable products and the designers who create them.
