Use coupon code GRECHEN50 for 50% off all regularly-priced clothing at Green With Glamour through 1/18 (midnight PST). This is a fabulous deal on Good Society jeans specifically – they still have lots of sizes left, and with the code, they would be around $50. I also love the organic cotton blouse by Kelly B, the draped top by EcoSkin, and the Del Forte denim pencil skirt (every girl needs a denim pencil skirt IMO).

I just have to give a quick shout-out and some love to one of my favorite eco-blogs: Ethical Style. Although they cover mostly eco-fashion and related subjects, they always manage to find obscure but poignant subjects to write about, and their analysis is spot-on. I nearly always feel compelled to comment on these posts, as I did today on two (I was catching up..):
“Skinny Bitch” no friend of Environmentalists, Manolo Blahnik
Shoppers in ’09: Too Broke to Buy Green? – now you guys KNOW how I feel about that subject LOL!
Ethical Style also produces an online “magazine” every month – which is also very good, but I really enjoy the blog more (and you can’t comment on the magazine articles).
I so enjoy reading Ethical Style – mostly for the irreverent style and totaly honesty of the writers (I can relate to that), and that they’re not afraid to discuss controversial issues. oh, and also for the fashion.
Do you have a favorite eco-blog? Please share, I love to read new stuff!!!

I totally need to move to Portland, or at least the Pacific Northwest; all of my favorite boutiques and eco-friendly designers are there. That location just has the small problem of being FAR away from all of my family, and it’s rainy – I’m not good with rain. But being far away from family could have it’s benefits…
Then again, this is one of my favorite things about shopping online – you have access to wonderful independent designers you wouldn’t have otherwise, and the opportunity to shop from boutiques all over the world. So, maybe I don’t need to move to Portland…but I do think that there is something about the aesthetic and the design world there that resonates with me.
Take these fabulous pieces from Olio United, for example. I love each of them for their stories and their unique-ness; and all of them are by local Portland designers.

1. Feel Design Cork Forest Bag
2. Amy Bengston Necklace
3. Paperdoll Argyle Woven Sweatshirt
4. Katie Kulper Handkerchiefs
5. Kiki and Polly Walking the Dog (print)
6. Paperdoll “anti-theft” leggings
I should qualify here, not all of these items are made from eco-friendly fabrics, but all are made to be as environmentally friendly as possible in Portland by independent designers in small quantities. Paperdoll uses recycled fabrics and bamboo in some pieces, the Feel Design bag is made from 100% wool and leather that has never been treated, and how cute are the Katie Kulper handkerchiefs? They’re almost too cute to use, but if you do, they’ll save boxes and boxes of tissues during flu season!!
What do you think? Do you know of any other Portland designers? please share your favorites!!!

All the super-mega-sales of the holiday season are pretty much over (we may see a few new year’s sales here and there, but for the most part, that’s it for the super sales), but that doesn’t mean you have to stop saving money! Here at greengrechen.com, we’ve got the hook-up with more than 20 coupon codes for eco-friendly boutiques and designers, some exclusive to greengrechen.com, so you can purchase your favorite eco-fashion at a discount all year.
I’ll be featuring different code every week, but you can always check the coupon codes page for the full list. For now, take another look at BTC Elements, where you can save 20% with code “grechen.”
I am currently obsessed with this glasses case made from vintage kimono fabric:
And how cute are these soy/hemp tea towels? I love to have pretty things in my kitchen, it’s so small and cluttered, that nice things here and there somehow make up for the lack of space…
