Sustainable Sales: 20% Off Denim at Tobi

Written on February 10, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Organic denim is wicked expensive – so expensive that I don’t actually own any organic denim, because I just plain can’t afford it unless it goes on sale.
So, of course, just after I start to dig myself out of the hole from moving to a new house, taking the dog to the vet, paying all [...]

Yes, I’m Still Talking About Vicarious by Nature

Written on February 4, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I know, you’re sick of it.  Every time I see Vicarious By Nature (or VbN) I can’t help but tell you about it.  It’s like a reflex at this point: if you live in Seattle, you drink coffee every morning.  If you live in Seattle and love sustainable clothing, you become obsessed with VbN.
That’s just [...]

Thursday’s Sustainable Sales: a Couple of Favorites

Written on January 21, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’m trying to stay away from making regular “sample sale” posts, because as more and more companies go green, more of them offer their items up to places like Gilt, Beyond the Rack, Ideeli and Hautelook…and if I posted about all of the sustainable sales those sites provide, that’s all I’d post.
However, when I see [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Boots for Men

Written on November 12, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

All right, men.  You asked, and I deliver: this is part two of Flesh It Out: Vegan Shoes for Men. You all seemed to appreciate Part I (Vegan Dress Shoes), and to be candid (and a little sappy) I’m just pleased to have a decent male following.  Who says intelligent, eco-conscious men aren’t fashionable?
This round I’m [...]

Skeletal Fashion

Written on November 10, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Halloween’s over, which means it’s the perfect time to buy things with skeletons on them.  (Wait, what?)  Allow me to explain:
When I was a kid, my mom bought me the perfect pair of overalls.  They were the perfect shade of blue, had little pink hearts on them, fit me perfectly, and were so comfortablethat I [...]

Eco-Friendly Stocking Stuffers (Part I)

Written on November 9, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’m the kind of girl that absolutely has to start my holiday shopping early. Post-Thanksgiving deals aside, I’d rather pay a little more and have the extra time, than deal with the stress from trying to keep the extra cash.
Stocking stuffers are always the hardest part for me.  What the hell is small enough to [...]

Sustainable Sales: Mountainsmith

Written on November 3, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Maybe it’s the Pacific Northwest in me, but one of my favorite physical activities – the one that gets my blood pumping and puts my soul at ease – is hiking.  The taste of crisp, clean air, the feeling of hard-packed dirt beneath my boots, the view of so much green at the top of [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Dress Shoes for Men

Written on October 16, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

When it comes to shoes, men have always gotten the short end of the aesthetic stick. Women’s shoe designers take more risks, use a greater variety in materials, and have been given much more creative license for as long as fashion has been celebrated – especially in Western society.
The “conscious shopping” craze has catered to [...]

Starting Friday, the guys will have another change to get sample sale prices on distressed, sexy, organic clothing from Rogues Gallery at Gilt.com.

Last time we saw a sale on Rogues Gallery was back in July,  when they were featured along with organic designs by Loomstate and Edun.  This time they’re on their own, which means a greater selection [...]
