I love this line of organic cotton hand printed (with eco-friendly dyes) tees by Andira at Red Envy Boutique – the design is so beautiful, it looks like a watercolor painting:
Andira donated school supplies to children living in endangered rain forests across Central and South America and had them illustrate what they see occurring around them. Each Andira Rain Tee features their thoughts and illustrations and the children’s name.
Andira’s goal is to educate consumers while giving hope to the people and wildlife of rain forest communities. For every Andira Rain Tee sold, a child involved in Kids Saving the Rain Forest, Costa Rica will receive a tree that they can plant in an area of forest that has been destroyed.
Andira Rain Tees are all 100% certified organic cotton and handmade in Peru using only eco friendly inks and dyes at family owned factories where workers are paid 25% above average wages. For every tee sold a child living in endangered rain forest land receives a tree to plant and learns about how they can protect their forests.

I know I’ve mentioned before my love for SWANDiamondRose handbags, but it wasn’t until just this second I found out she makes clothes too! and they’re SOOOOO adorable.
All of her items are handmade, and most from vintage or thrifted fabrics. And she creates her clothing in up to size XL! I am absolutely dying for this dress (the skirt’s not so bad either, but OMG, the dress!!!)

First, I have to admit two things: I don’t know much about Leanne Marshall (I stopped watching Project Runway the season before she was on it) and I don’t like Bluefly (they inflate retail prices and have been accused of selling fake bags) – so take what I have to say below with those things in mind. But I’ve been seeing a lot of hype over her much-anticipated-collection for Bluefly in the fashion blogosphere, had to check it out….and…
I don’t get all the fuss. It’s not awful, but nothing really jumps out at me as a must-have either. Or even something I’d wear, let alone pay those prices for. I really, really love the evening dresses from her OWN collectionthough; I think an evening dress is the best and most appropriate place to showcase her apparent talent for pleating. The evening dresses are truly beautiful, and probably worth the high price tag they command.
I also appreciate that she incorporates eco-friendly materials into a lot of what she does, although I wish it was more organic cotton than bamboo, and endeavors to create a more sustainable business model over time. I just think the collection is over-priced for pieces that will feel dated after a couple of seasons – maybe it’s just me, but I get tired of any adornment after a while – and that you can find similar versions of. And the colors are very nice – my favorite piece is the tank top, but I can buy the basic draped Splendid one I’ve been coveting for less than half the price of this one. AND it doesn’t have to be dry cleaned…I mean seriously…
Scoop Tank: $110 |
Bamboo jersey tunic: $98 |
What do you think? am I wrong? Let’s hear it!!

I have to admit, that I’m really not a fan of Steve Madden’s shoes – I mean, I generally like the looks (although they’re usually knockoffs of other designs), but they are SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I have owned several pairs of Steve Madden shoes over the years, but stopped buying them about 5 years ago because I was fed up with how much they hurt – in spite of being cute.
But I really can’t resist loving these vegan shoes by Madden Girl – I like the wood platform, the color, and how chic are the studs? The best part though (besides being vegan) is that they’re $55. Yes, Virginia, you CAN get vegan shoes for under $100 
Maybe I’m wrong about the comfort of Steve Madden shoes – maybe they’re not so bad anymore – maybe they’re worth a try again? Anyway, this pair is available at Luna Boston if you’re so inclined, and you can use coupon code “grechen” to save an additional 20% off $55.
