THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!!! (thank you!!)
Thanks all who entered our last giveaway for two recycled inner tube clutches by Passchal! Now, you’ve got a chance to enter to win one of two FABULOUS vegan handbags by Matt & Nat, courtesy of StefaniBags.com. If you haven’t heard of Matt & Nat already, it’s really one of the premier vegan handbag companies – not only in terms of their designs, which are unique, but in their use of innovative materials like recycled plastic bottles and cardboard. My favorite collection at the moment, is the Japanese Paper collection, using a material that looks like super-thin, crinkly, soft leather, but isn’t!
The giveaways
both bags are from the Japanese Paper Collection, and available at StefaniBags:
One Sade Clutch in Grey (valued at $150), and a small Jorja in Pink (valued at $225)

Did you know it was Fair Trade Month? I admit, I didn’t, but I do now! To encourage more awareness and consumption of free trade products, Equita is offering 25% off through 10/24 with code “fairdeal.”
This skirt by FIN uses fair trade certified organic cotton and is also super-chic…

Not everything at Adele is “eco-friendly” per-se, but they do only carry only smaller, independent designers, like Wyred, A.P.C., Built By Wendy, Melissa Joy Manning (I live in her earrings!!) and most items are made in the USA. But best of all, Adele is offering 30% off all regularly-priced items through 10/31 with code ADELE FRIENDS.
These two pieces by Mociun, made from organic cotton and/or bamboo are my favorite:
Also, check out the vegan shoes by Cri de Coeur…
I have talked about, Interviewed, and Reviewed SPUN Organic clothing before…but now it’s time for a follow-up, and some new pieces…(these are just random pictures from outfits I’ve snapped recently – sorry for the brightness/color quality!)
You can get all the SPUN pieces at Fashion Ethic and save 30% right now with code “grechen30.”
(this code expires 10/20 – after that, use grechen20 for 20% off)
I have a few of these v-neck tees. I like them, but on me, the sleeves are a bit tight, and the bottom of the shirt, around my hips, is also tight. But my upper arms and hips are abnormally large, so the fit is probably not typical. The deep v is awesome, as is the color selection, and price.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my SPUN cardigans!!! I have two and usually wear them open, over dresses, but tried it this way and love it!

Here I’m wearing a SPUN organic cotton tank top, with Toggery organic cotton pants and an Ever organic cotton hoody
I live in these. I wear them to bed, I wear them under stuff, I wear them to work out…

This is another new piece – it’s kind of a sweatshirt style, but cooler. I also wear this constantly. It’s super-soft, the fit is great, and I really like the way it can be dressed up or down. (this is dressed up lol)

This week only, take 30% off at Fashion Ethic with code “Grechen30.” This is great timing if it’s getting cooler where you are, they’ve just added some fabulous organic fleece/wool jackets & coats in addition to organic cotton basics (and dresses!!) by SPUN.
