Exclusive 25% off at Doie Designs

grechen — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:31:22 +0000

Doie Designs’ Sara Kirsner recently moved from New York to California, and you can clearly see it in her new Spring collection, aptly named, the Los Angeles collection.

Sara previously worked mostly in bamboo and silk, but she’s made the change this season to mostly organic cotton and silk (I actually prefer organic cotton, because I think it’s eco-friendlier than bamboo). She still brings back the signature lounge pant and wrap shirt, but I love the new dresses most of all, especially the Mulholland (the second dress from the left).

Now through May 31, use code “Grechen25″ for 25% off at Doie Designs and snag yourself some pretties!! This code is ONLY valid on the Spring/Summer 09 collection – all other collections are already marked down by 60%!

exclusive 30% off at Modern Sage

(also posted at Grechen’s Closet)

Twitter is a marvelous thing. I’ve been twittering for quite some time and have found it a great way to meet new Internet friends, learn more about things that interest me, and find out about new boutiques. Which is how I found this one, Modern Sage. (side note: you should seriously be on twitter if you’re not already. In the beginning it can be confusing and a time suck, but over time you’ll fall into a routine. I’ve met so many wonderful people and interacted with boutiques & designers in ways I never had before. I also love to connect with readers this way – we give each other shopping advice, talk about purchases…it’s fun!!)

Anyway, back to this fabulous new boutique, and exclusive deal for YOU. It was initially the clothes that drew me into Modern Sage; they feature some unknown (to me) designers like Risto Bimbiloski, Kerry Cassill, and Miriam Ocariz, but it was their manifesto that made me fall in love:

CONSCIOUS FASHION

WE BELIEVE THAT FASHION IS DEFINED AS LIVING, BREATHING, WEARABLE ART MADE WITH QUALITY MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE FUTURE OF FASHION IS EVOLVING & BECOMING PART OF A NEW PARADIGM OF SUSTAINABILITY AND POSITIVE CHANGE.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO EDUCATE AND BRING AWARENESS TO THE STORY BEHIND THE CLOTHING: FROM THE METHODS USED TO PRODUCE IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT, AND ULTIMATELY TO THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE EARTH. WE ARE BEING CALLED UPON TO CHANGE OUR HABITS AND LIVE INTO OUR VALUES DOWN TO THE WAY WE SHOP AND WHAT WE WEAR.

AND FINALLY, WE BELIEVE THAT YOUR ACTIONS & HOW YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF ON THE OUTSIDE ARE A REFLECTION OF WHAT IS INSIDE. WHEN YOU FEEL GOOD, WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO RADIATE & SHINE, YOU DO GOOD THINGS…YOU EVOLVE.

WE INTEND TO HELP YOU DO THAT AT MODERN SAGE.

I’m 1,000,000,000% behind them on this, which is why I started Green Grechen in the first place. No matter what your husband or boyfriend says, fashion IS important, and DOES have an impact. It’s up to us to determine what we want that impact to be.

So, to give you a little push in the eco-fashion direction, Modern Sage is offering you 30% off your first order through 5/15 with code GOGRECHEN. There are lots of great affordable pieces by Fleur Wood, Del Forte organic denim, and Kerry Cassill, but just imagine your self for a moment, in these AMAZING prints by Risto Bimbiloski:

Nimli Final Sale Offer (it’s a good one!)

grechen — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:06:01 +0000

Buy $100 worth of final sale items at Nimli, get a $50 gift card, buy $200+ worth of final sale items, get a $100 gift card, and buy $300 or more worth of final sale items, get a $300 gift card (!!!). There’s honestly not a huge selection of final sale items, but if I were you, I’d try to get up to that $300 mark – you’d be getting it nearly for free! And believe me, you’ll totally want to spend that gift card at Nimli; they have one of my favorite selections of eco-friendly shopping online.

Here are my suggestions for getting up to $300:

Skin & Threads - $44	Del Forte Trousers - $78	Viridis Luxe - $48
Panda Snack - $99	Grace & Cello Top - $34

If I’m doing my math right, that all adds up to $303 – enough to qualify you for the $300 gift certificate. Offer ends May 3.

$15 off eco-friendly shoes & bags at endless

grechen — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:12:09 +0000

This isn’t exactly a coupon, but it’s still a good deal: at endless.com, all eco-friendly styles of shoes & bags are $15 off minimum orders of $75. Choose from designers like BAGGU, Birki’s, Camper, Cri de Coeur, Brooks, Chaco,Envirosax, Matt & Nat, Swedish Hasbeens, Simple, TOMS, and more for a limited time.

I only noticed this because I was thinking seriously about ordering another five pairs of Swedish Hasbeens clog sandals LOL! I got my Swedish Hasbeens several days ago, and while it’s not been very warm here, I’ve worn them twice already, and am in love; they’re so comfortable, it’s like they’re not even on, and I love how they look. They come in fabulous colors (I’d like each one) and different heights, so you can find the perfect pair. And they’re not cheap, so the extra $15 off helps…

An Ode to Beklina + Exclusive Discount!

grechen — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:51:38 +0000

You know what I decided? If I had to shop at only one boutique for the rest of my life, or if by some miracle I won everything from a particular store, I’d want it to be Beklina. I used to think Anthropologie was that store, but it’s become a bit too feminine and frou-frou for me lately. There is no other store, online or off, where I am absolutely in love with every single item in it (well, except James Perse, but those are basics).

Let me show you why…

Virginia Johnson Hemp Dress $320	Virginia Johnson Hemp Tote $320
Rachel Comey Hair Clips $135	Ivana Helsinki Tiger Tank $98
Ivana Helsinki Tiger Dress $240	Raasta Plata t-shirt $220
Stewart + Brown Skirt $192	Fox in Mociun Tote $74

Angelina never ceases to amaze me with her selection, and it’s like she’s reading my mind when she chooses pieces to buy for Beklina. I love that she doesn’t carry every piece from each designer she works with – she picks and chooses her favorites; I feel almost like I’m looking in her closet when I shop there! And to bring it all together, she only carries items that are made from eco-friendly fabrics and/or are ethically produced and/or are made locally by independent designers like Mociun, Lina Rennell, Manimal, Loyale & more. And OMG, she’s re-designed the site to make it easier to browse by designer or by category, and when you hover over an image, you’ll see below it the designer and price. The pictures and outfit styling are still totally awesome.

Oh yeah…and for the next week (until Wednesday, April 15) when you spend $500 or more at Beklina, take 30% off your order with code “500for30.” This is an exclusive discount just for you, so stock your closet now with your Beklina favorites…I know I am!!
