Sustainable Sales: curtsey and BEAU SOLEIL and Melissa!

Written on March 9, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

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 [...]

Zoya Nail Polish: Feeling Free for Fashion Week

Written on February 19, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

As I recover from a brief medical emergency – seven-day migraines are no fun – I’ll be around a little less than usual.  However, it’s fashion week in New York city, so I’m sure that all of you intrepid internet readers have lots of other eye candy to keep you busy while I’m recuperating.
It can [...]

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 [...]

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

Written on January 28, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

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

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 [...]

Sustainable Sales: Mapel’s Green Happy Hour

Written on January 1, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

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 [...]

Wednesday’s Sustainable Sales

Written on December 23, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Today’s sales, hosted by Gilt and Gilt Fuse (my favorite family of sample sale sites), features Archipelago Candles & Diffusers and Nugaard Jewelry.

I’ve been curious about diffusers since I saw one in a friend’s bathroom. They’re quite simple – no lighting candles or spraying chemicals to add a soft scent to a room – while [...]

Monday’s Sustainable Sales

Written on December 21, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

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 [...]

Sustainable Sales: 25% Off at Tobi.com

Written on December 14, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I hate it when marketing works on me.
Online boutique Tobi sent me an email this morning, telling me to “get caught under the mistletoe in something extra special” by using their 25% off coupon code – CAUGHT25 – to buy some sort of pretty, romantic holiday wear.  So, of course, my mind drifted off to a movie-like [...]
