SURevolution Review, Giveaway & Coupon Code!!

grechen — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:28:09 +0000

I love jewelry as much as the next girl, but honestly, most of it is boring; everything looks the same, or it’s so cheaply made, it’s obvious. Not so with SURevolution. I noticed the jewelry first, because it’s beautiful, and fashionable, second, because it’s ethical & eco-conscious.

SURevolution is a mission-driven company, focusing on five pillars of sustainability:

Respect people – create relationships with the artisans who create their products.
Respect cultures - provide artisans an opportunity to make a living from traditional crafts.
Respect nature – work with responsible production methods.
Upcycled – give new life to used materials.
Use certified materials – include certified organic cotton and FSC certified wood.

All of that is ALMOST enough to make you want to support the company anyway, but what’s key is that the jewelry is BEAUTIFUL. I received two of the “snake” necklaces to review (above); these are made from brass caps and are kind of “slinky” and moveable, which makes them interesting to wear, but also attention-grabbers! Every time I’ve worn a necklace I get comments/questions….

(for a full outfit picture, go to Grechen’s Closet – all of my photos were taken with Instagram for iPhone)

I also love SURevolution’s wood pieces, rings, cuffs…take a look, they’re so unique & stunning. You won’t find this jewelry on anyone else unless you have some truly fashionable friends, and you better get ready for lots of attention. (you know you love the attention

Please take a moment to check out the site, read more about the company (Lauren Bush is on the Board) and while you’re there if you find something you can’t live without, use code grechen20 for 20% off!!! And if you do get something, let me know what in the comments (it won’t help your chances in the giveaway, but I’d love to see)

Hemp, Hemp, Hemp!!! {handbags}

grechen — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:08:37 +0000

If you’ve been reading Green Grechen for any time now, you already know my feelings on hemp:

It’s more environmentally friendly than organic cotton or bamboo
It lasts longer than cotton (organic or otherwise)
In my opinion, hemp represents the best hope for future clothing sustainability

And thanks to Nimli, now it’s a little easier to do your part and start adding some hemp to your wardrobe with Hemptress bags. (use code HEMPTRESS20 for 20% off all Hemptress bags through 11/15)

I’m partial to this one, because, well, honestly, it doesn’t scream HIPPIE to me – it would be very easy to incorporate into a modern, edgy wardrobe, adding some great texture and interest:

10 Essential Eco-Chic Pieces for Fall

grechen — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:33:04 +0000

Are you ready for cooler temperatures? For long sleeves & wedges? Sweaters & leggings? I am And here are a few of my favorite eco-friendly options for a smooth transition to Fall…

Chinti & Parker striped organic cotton dress at Net-a-Porter: $135. I’m all about stripes this season, and this color combination is one of my favorites. This is such an easy dress to wear; I would belt it, or wear a wrap sweater over it to give it some shape. Pop it over tights or leggings, and you’re good to go!

Nixxi long organic cotton/viscose from bamboo/spandex jersey leggings at Nimli: $58. Whether you love them or hate them, leggings are going to be around (again) for a while. This organic cotton blend pair by Nixxi are great because they’re a little long, meaning you can bunch them up a bit at the ankle for a little less extreme look.

Sammy Handmade in Ethiopia ROMAN bag at Kaight (vegetable tanned leather handmade by a women’s co-op in Ethiopia): $275. LOVE this color for Fall!!

Organic cotton/hemp cowl tunic by Prarie Underground at Jute & Jackfruit: $169. I always love a sweatshirt, but try to find ones with a little character – this one is perfect.

Elroy baggy chambray pant (made from tencel): $84. I do still love the slim leg look, but sometimes you want a little slouch. These would be great with a fitted top (like the Julie Park top below) and flats.

Organic cotton wrap dress by SPUN (30% off with code grechen30) : $95. A good basic wrap dress is ALWAYS essential; I love them over leggings, tights, alone, or with a cardigan over. This option by SPUN is super-affordable, and incredibly flattering.

Julie Park top (rayon blend) at Beklina: $110. When the weather cools off, there’s nothing I like more than layering – and because it’s thinner, this top is perfect for that. It also provides visual interest while peeking out from under a chunky knit…

Pious hemp/organic cotton wrap jacket by Gaia Conceptions: $110. I did mention how much I love stripes, right? But did I say that I love cardigans equally? This one is great because it’s multi-functional: you can wear it open, or wrapped.

Cri de Coeur vegan wedge (low-VOC breathable PU upper on reclaimed wood sole made in Los Angeles): $350. I’m always a fan of a good wedge.

Crochet necklace by She-Bible at Green with Glamour: $40. Love this necklace for a point of interest over a simple long-sleeve tee, or cashmere sweater.
