10 Essential Eco-Chic Pieces for Fall

by grechen on September 8, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

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.

It’s Earth Day

by grechen on April 22, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

And I’m conflicted. I’ve mentioned this dilemma before…but today, I’m just going to sit it out. Yes, there are TONS of coupon codes for amazing eco-boutiques and brands, but I really don’t want to contribute to the idea that Earth Day is another consumer holiday (which it is) by posting all of them. Today shouldn’t be different than any other day, we should think about how ethical and environmentally friendly the products we buy are EVERYDAY, not just on the “official” day. I really try to encourage that here at Green Grechen, but I feel like if I post all the sales and coupons, I’m just feeding into the hype. Know what I mean?

Thanks for understanding ;)
and please, enjoy the earth today.
