**this contest is closed!! Thanks to all who entered**
Yay!!! To celebrate Green Grechen’s re-design and return to daily posts, C&C California is giving away one hemp/cotton short-sleeve dress to a lucky reader 
As I’ve mentioned before, I love it when my favorite brands incorporate hemp in their designs – it’s the direction that fashion must go if it’s to be TRULY sustainable in my opinion (stay tuned for an article on that later this week). And C&C California does it perfectly.
This 60/40 hemp/cotton dress would look great belted (I’m obsessed with belts lately), loose, or even over leggings or skinny jeans as the weather cools off. The winner will get to choose her size and color (I’m partial to the peyote…) and the dress will be sent directly from C&C California.

I’ve been looking at this 100% hemp jersey tunic at Calypso online forever…and now it’s marked down to $69 (from $139) and available in three colors. You could theoretically wear it as a dress, or as a swimsuit cover-up, but I think it would be really nice with leggings or jeans as the weather cools off a bit:
And they’re on sale at Epaulet for $40 in several sizes (I’m an 8 and they fit true to size in my opinion) in the great blue color:
Since I got my Melissa Sin sandals a few years ago, I’ve given up all other flip flops; they’re so much more stylish, they’ll hold up WAY longer, and they’re made of sustainable rubber. And just this year I got a 2nd pair of Melissa sandals, the Secret Love sandal in gold, which I also love, but the thong is a more flattering style on my foot, so I reserve the Secret Love sandals for wear with jeans. (I do get a TON of comments when I wear mine though, people love them!!)
Anyway, if you don’t have a pair of Melissa sandals yet, this is a good pair to try. Also keep your eye on the online sample sale sites, Melissa pops up here and there…
I’m not sure I’d take this to the beach (I only take things I don’t mind getting ruined with salt water & sand), but it would still be wonderful for a Summer bag. I’d use it as an everyday bag or a laptop bag, but it would be a great picnic “basket,” pool tote, or carry-on.
Made by Hoakonhelga out of recycled leather and vintage fabric. 100% handmade in Canada.
Use code “thirtyoff” for 30% off all full-priced items at organic pioneer Stewart + Brown. I’m a huge fan of their organic cotton pieces, especially skirts & dresses. I’ve had one of their lengthened tees and loved the fit, but didn’t think it really held up well (it got holes…) over time, but haven’t had any problems at all with anything else. Their clothes are definitely “investment” pieces though; this dress would be $117 after the code:
