Sustainable Sales: curtsey and BEAU SOLEIL and Melissa!

It’s a sustainable sale that’s perfect for spring: curtsey at Ideeli.  Here’s the skinny, from their site:

…The California-born and -based designer specializes in bright, flirty frocks that dress up and down with equal ease. Paired with a slouchy boyfriend blazer, they’re great for every day, or throw on the statement heels and you’re ready for [...]

To Covet: Cocktail Rings

I’ve been hunting for a piece of “statement jewelry” for years. I finally found my match on my last birthday: it’s a gold and copper sandstone ring, which I nabbed for just a few dollars at  an out-of-the-way vintage shop.

What you can’t see from the crappy photos – which my broken camera and I apologize [...]

Sustainable Sales: 20% Off Denim at Tobi

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

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 [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: Nature of Beauty (Plus 15% Off Discount Code!)

Finally: after much trepidation and a little help from my friends at Nature of Beauty, I got the chance to try all natural makeup.
As most of you know, I have rosacea, which means that along with all the usual makeup issues – clumping mascara, smearing eyeshadow, lipstick in the “I’m almost thirty” creases around my [...]

Thursday’s Sustainable Sales: a Couple of Favorites

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 [...]

Sustainable Sales: Gypsy 05

We’ve had a mellow winter, here in Seattle: temperatures in the forties, temperamental cloud cover, and not a speck of snow to be seen.  While some of my friends think this is a sign of early spring, I know better: the northwest is known for pulling the rug out from under you just when you [...]

Sustainable Sales: Mapel’s Green Happy Hour

I talk about Mapel a lot.  They’re locally- and woman-owned, have great customer service, and are my number one place to shop for the corporate brands (because small boutiques beat out conglomerates like Nordstrom any day).  They floored me yet again with their 2010 New Years resolution:
This year Mapel resolves to do two things:
Mapel resolves to [...]

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich

You know what I’m really, really into right now? Things that don’t go together. Not in the “stripes and plaid” way – or the “eighties and anything else please stop with the eighties” way…more in the “casually glamorous” way.
It’s about being feminine and pretty, but still tough enough to get grit under your nails:

Tee shirts [...]

Monday’s Sustainable Sales

Unless you’re willing to pay for overnight shipping, your holiday shopping is now limited to local haunts (which ain’t so bad, ecologically).  So, I’m back to showcasing more selfish sustainable sales – stuff I want for me instead of stuff I want for loved ones.  Even if you’re waiting until after Christmas to shop for [...]
