Wow, this is a great week for my ego LOL! First the Evolved Blogger award, now Treehugger. Green Grechen was chosen along with 6 other eco-fashion blogs as a “Must Read Green Fashion Blog.” And the thing is, if I had to choose the perfect way to have my site described, this would be it:
If your super-stylish, always-eco-conscious best friend had a Web site, the resulting blog would be a lot like Green Grechen: full of killer sales and giveaways, how-tos on everything from vintage shopping to choosing the perfect nail color, and product highlights that include flirty summer dresses, chic eco-shoes, and jewelry that makes a statement.
In fact, that’s exactly how I’ve always tried to position all of my sites (Grechen’s Closet and grechenscodes.com in addition to this one) – as if I was your BFF 
So, thanks Treehugger for recognizing that, and thank YOU for reading. I REALLY REALLY appreciate it.

Get on this one…Ecosteal.com (a new “sample sale” type website only for eco-friendly fashion) has quite a deal on SPUN organic cotton tees right now! Available in black, blue and bittersweet, this comfy tee is only $12.50. (I have a couple of these tees, the blue is my favorite color, it’s a great shade of blue, not navy, and not light blue, kind of periwinkle?)
Honestly, these Manimal moccasins weren’t very appealing to me at first, but they’ve totally grown on me. They look incredibly comfortable and would be so cute with a pair of straight-leg jeans and long cardigan:
They’re also available in sensible gray and brown, but I love to wear color on my feet. Several of the colors are available as vegan-friendly, but the others are made of suede. They all feature recycled tire soles and polar fleece lining. All styles are on sale now at Beklina for $140 – down from $184.
Holy cow these are expensive…but they’re also too fabulous for words!! These skull earrings are made from 18k recycled gold by Ruff & Cut in NYC. Ruff & Cut sources all it’s materials ethically and each piece of jewelry comes with a certificate of origin for transparency. they also donate 10% off the price of each piece to non-profit partners.
While you’re visiting Ruff & Cut, be sure to check out some of their designer collaborations featuring ethically sourced rough cut diamonds: Me & Ro, Tracy Matthews and Todd Reed.
