Envi

Use code “yingyang” for 50% off at Envi eco-boutique through 3/12 – excludes final sale items and select sale items. And all sales are FINAL when you use this code, so be sure about what you buy. It’s so easy to want to snag everything…but I really like this belted jacket by raw earth, wild sky. It would be $134 after the code:

Nixxi @ Nimli

All Nixxi is marked 30% off at Nimli. I’d honestly take any of these pieces, but I think this ruffle wrap top is the most versatile, great for any season:

She-Bible

Through 3/11, use code “sunshine” for 25% off at She-bible (not valid on sale items). I can’t wait to see the new Spring items, but there are still lots of items I’d love to have from what’s up now. This organic cotton dress has always been on my wishlist:

Terra Plana

Finally, Terra Plana is offering 30% off their inventory, excluding the Evo collection, with code FINAL30 through 3/15. I really love the Evo pink running shoes, but sadly they’re not eligible, so I’d take these HOT PINK pumps instead!!

save 20% at LA Vintage

grechen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:08:31 +0000

One of Green Grechen’s lovely sponsors (I couldn’t do it without them), LA Vintage, has re-designed their site and is now offering 20% off to anyone who signs up for their e-mail newsletter through Facebook (they also run other periodic promotions, and it’s a great way to see new vintage items they’ve added). I also particularly love LA Vintage for their plus-size vintage fashions; they have such a nice selection!

Here are just some of the fun items they have on the site right now (I wish I could pull off that floral maxi-caftan in the middle!):

Must Have: Alternative V-Gan Organic Cotton Tee

grechen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:50:04 +0000

I’m addicted to tees; I layer them in Winter, and live in them in Summer. Get the best bang for your buck with this Alternative Apparel organic cotton unisex v-neck tee: $22 at 80spurple.com!

Must Have: Organic cotton Buffalo Check Top

grechen — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:00:26 +0000

I love this for a cute Spring/Summer top – it’s not the kind of print you’d expect to find for Summer, but that’s part of the charm. $110 at Le Train Bleu – Made in the USA – 100% Organic cotton.

10% off organic cotton yoga apparel at matter yoga

grechen — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:45:53 +0000

Use code “grechen” for 10% off your order at Matter Yoga. Matter Yoga strives to be an “eco-responsible” brand, using organic cotton materials and producing their products in small, locally owned factories.

And speaking of products…They have a nice, simple selection of organic cotton yoga & lounge pants, as well as tank tops & t-shirts (coming soon). I always love a good pair of comfy pants, these fold over waist pants look like they’d fit the bill.

Video Review: Josie Maran’s Argan Oil

grechen — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:00:04 +0000

OMG, I’m on TV!! Actually, I’ve been playing around with video the last couple of days and have become much more comfortable speaking and showing my face on the screen (it’s harder than it looks!), and now that I have a macbook pro, it’s super-easy to use the built in camera to record videos…so you’ll be seeing more of me! And I couldn’t quite figure out a good way to review the Argan Oil that I use on my face, other than by showing my face!

Enjoy!!

Some things that I didn’t mention in the video – the oil is obviously initially “oily” but it soaks in quickly, especially if you don’t use too much. You should experiment with the right amount for your face, but I always use a lot…and I’ve only been through half the bottle in 4 months. And you can use this on your hair, cuticles, etc., but I never have. I mentioned that I do use it on the tops of my hands after I put it on my face, but I’ve never tried it on my hair, I’m not sure where or how I would do that. I can also see how it would be fabulous for elbows, mine always get really dry in the Summer…

Oh, and I’m 37, for reference

Have you guys tried it? what did you think?

Canadian Eco-Chic: LABEL Boutique

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:21:28 +0000

note from grechen: this post has been submitted by the boutique or designer. this is a free service we provide, it is NOT an advertisement, and every post has been moderated to make sure it meets MY standards. enjoy!

Designers Shawna Robinson and Natalie Sydoruk have been collaborating since March 2007 on their clothing line, Label. The idea was born out of their mutual desire for quality clothing that fit their unique lifestyles. Shawna, a freelance wardrobe stylist and aspiring artist, and Natalie, a model, both desired clothing that would allow them to bounce around the city looking polished and modern, without compromising comfort, aesthetics or their dignity.

Natalie and Shawna are deeply committed to creating clothing from an ethical standpoint, utilizing, wherever possible, organic, renewable or reclaimed fibers for their garments. Production is by local and all fabric waste is used by a local stuffed creature artist.
