Thanks to Heather, over at peaceloveluxe (also owner of Coco’s Shoppe), for introducing me to these awesome totes by Green Gecko:

How awesome are these? Let me count the ways:
- I CANNOT resist studs and grommets. On anything.
- These bags appear to be light enough to hold all my stuff, AND not weigh me down.
- I would be so proud to know that my purchase of one of these helps to provide jobs to Cambodian women, many of whom are landmine victims or widows
How amazing is this dress? It’s reworked from a vintage 70′s embroidered skirt to be a super-chic one-shoulder dress:

and the winner is…comment #3 chosen by random.org
I decided after yesterday’s post on recycled leather handbags, I’d make this week kind of an informal “recycled eco-fashion” week! I love the idea of buying vintage as eco-friendly, but am not always “into” the vintage look, so recycled or re-made clothing, handbags and accessories are a great alternative. But it doesn’t have to stop with your body – if you spend as much time every day at your desk as I do, your desk could probably use some accessorizing (and organizing) too.
In my search for fabulous desk/home accessories (bet you didn’t know I love to accessorize my home as much as myself), I came across this recycled cotton desk set at one of my new favorite home decorating sites, Clayton Gray Home:

The desk set is:
made from recycled cotton salvaged from the apparel industry in India. Each item is made from “khadda,” which is the unbleached hand spun rags left over from the garment industry production. No harsh chemicals or dyes are used in processing the material. The 100% cotton products are water resistant and hand-made by rural craftsmen in India
I love that this is “green” in addition to being green! The bright color would definitely bring some excitement to my desk, and I love all the pieces that come with it, especially the box. Do you love it too? Want to win it? Here’s how:
Leave a comment telling me why you could use this lovely green recycled desk set & also, visit Clayton Gray home and link me to something else you’d love to have to spruce up your home a bit! (I’d choose this modern, bright, Trina Turk rug)
