Ah! Just in time for last minute holiday shopping - give your friend a $20 GC for EDUN, and you’ll GET a $25 GC for EDUN (good only on purchase of over $100). Offer expires on 12/25, but sounds like a good deal to me. I guess you could even giveaway your $25 GC too if you wanted…

November 11, 2008
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, [...]

October 30, 2008
I have never really been a jewelry girl. Diamonds, eh (that’s why I got Moissanite). Bling, not my thing. I’ve always preferred understated, simple, and rustic jewelry. Exactly like Bario-Neal’s.
I actually stumbled across Bario-Neal about a year ago when they first started out as Rust Belt, and fell hard for [...]

October 17, 2008
There’s excessive, and then there’s EXCESSIVE. Don’t misunderstand me, I love Stella McCartney and her philosophy. I have a pair of her vegan sandals, a Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bag, and I’ve tried her skin care line (love the toner, hate all of the un-necessary packaging).

October 3, 2008
Fall is officially here, the weather is cooling down (a bit), exciting things are ahead, and I finally get to start pulling out my favorite sweaters and jackets. After seeing this new organic cotton line by Juleselin though, I may have to donate my old jackets, and adopt one of these.

Lux Green Living? I’ll Take That.
September 24, 2008
One of my favorite eco-chic designers, Kate D’arcy/Toggery Collection, has just launched a new “luxurious online organic fashion boutique” featuring, you got it, designs by Kate D’Arcy. Actually, the boutique will be carrying items from other eco-friendly designers, but in Kate’s own words:

August 18, 2008
(originally posted at Grechen’s Closet)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mission behind TOMS Shoes, but can’t help wishing the shoes were cuter. They’re not as bad as Crocs (can anything be??), but I can’t get my grandfather’s house slippers out of my head whenever I see these:
Personally, if I had the money, I’d buy ten pairs [...]
