Sustainable Sales: Tarte Cosmetics at Gilt

Written on July 22, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

There are three ways in which I’m willing to try new makeup: It’s free. Someone gives me samples. It’s deeply discounted, and in a fun “pack” that allows me to try the whole brand, not just their “signature product.” Enter my sample sale love affair with Gilt. Spring Greening 11 Piece Collection: $19 Usually, Gilt’s [...]

Stretched 12″ x 12″ canvas, ready to hang, with this image: Lovers: don’t tell me you don’t want it. Oddly enough, I didn’t even notice that this Gilt sale (on Avalisa Wall Art) is geared toward infants.  The style of the art is simple, but not boring; bold, but not garish.  I’d be as comfortable [...]

Sustainable Sales: Coclico

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

Ooooh, a brand I haven’t heard of yet! (Kid.  Candy store.  Sue me.) Coclico The skinny, from Gilt’s website: It’s hard to believe shoes this chic are sustainably minded, but Coclico uses natural dyes and lightweight cork inside their swanky soles. Sandals with cutout details define this Spanish line’s style and there are plenty here [...]

Alternative Earth: 15% off Through May 3

Written on April 20, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I love surprises. I had no idea Alternative Apparel had put their Alternative Earth collection (which features organic cotton, recycled polyester and non-toxic dyes) on sale until I logged into their website this morning looking for a new pair of shorts. (These ones are adorable.) If you’re not inclined to read the above text from [...]

Sustainable Sales: Stella McCartney on Yooxygen

Written on April 14, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

There are reasons that Lindsay (f/k/a Elle) is my best friend.  Chief among them is our sense of balance with each other: I’m logical and controlled; she’s wild and unpredictable.  My sense of style is classic; hers is trend-setting.  I search for the balance point in almost every debate; she makes her stand and takes [...]

New Eco-Markdowns, For Men & Women, at Tobi.com

Written on April 6, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

All I can say today is: Mmm, shopping. I’m not sure why, but I’m definitely in “buy new stuff” mode, and keep having to review my personal wish lists to remind myself that not every great deal is worth giving up that new loveseat I want. Or is it? Prairie Underground Town Coat: $326 $195 [...]
