Juicy Couture Faux Fur Jacket ’tis the season for warm winter coats and the resurgence of fur-as-fashion. I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say I’d never wear an animal - I wear leather shoes and carry leather bags. But I do draw the line at wearing pieces that LOOK like animals, or like they belong on an animal; they definitely do not belong on me. Fur is also not my style, and honestly, I am usually repulsed by fur coats, and shocked by the tackiness of fur-trimmed bags (and shoes). Sorry. I just... [Read the full story]

I’ve written extensively about eco-friendly handbags, and those articles have included some vegan bags, but this time, it’s all for the vegans; no leather here. Vegan doesn’t have to mean “leather alternative” in every instance, but there are some very good leather-looking bags out there. Don’t forget about canvas, hemp, recycled candy wrappers, wool, billboards, tire inner tubes…bags are made from nearly everything nowadays, the possibilities are endless. Here are some of my favorites,... [Read the full story]

I have talked about, Interviewed, and Reviewed SPUN Organic clothing before…but now it’s time for a follow-up, and some new pieces…(these are just random pictures from outfits I’ve snapped recently - sorry for the brightness/color quality!) You can get all the SPUN pieces at Fashion Ethic and save 30% right now with code “grechen30.” (this code expires 10/20 - after that, use grechen20 for 20% off) I have a few of these v-neck tees. I like them, but on me, the sleeves are a bit tight,... [Read the full story]

I’ll admit, I’ve coveted Stella McCartney’s vegan handbags for years, but have always found the price to be exclusionary - unless it’s on sale, or a very small bag (like a clutch), you never see a Stella bag for under $1,000. Not that I think it’s entirely unreasonable to spend more than $1,000 on a bag (if you can afford it and can justify the cost-per-wear, I say go for it. I have. and I don’t judge others on what they choose to spend their money on.) Stella McCartney’s... [Read the full story]

(originally published at Grechen’s Closet July 14, 2008) Interview with Crystalyn Kae, designer of Crystalyn Kae Handbags First, I’d love it if you can share with our readers what you’re wearing today? What’s your favorite piece in your closet? How much of your closet is made up of eco-friendly pieces? I’m a pretty simple, classic gal in terms of daily ‘uniform’.

Honestly with all the fabulous eco-friendly boutiques online and off, there’s no excuse for NOT adapting your wardrobe to your earth-friendly lifestyle. That of course, does not mean throwing everything out and starting over (please don’t). It does mean that if you have anything that needs to be replaced, you should consider looking for choices in alternative fabrics like Organic Cotton, Soy, Tencel, Hemp, and Bamboo, which are getting easier to find. A brand new entry to online eco-fashion, embodies, joins... [Read the full story]
