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: Going Grey…as a Neutral

Sometimes, “covet” isn’t a strong enough word to suggest the impression a trend, or an untrendy “fashion idea,” has made on me.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been obsessed with the color grey.
Maybe I’m just copying Elle (who stopped wearing color for a few months in 2009), or maybe I’m exemplifying a subdued time in [...]

Ethical Designer Profile: Beyond Skin

Exhibit A: Gorgeous grey pump (the Opal). Stats:

Comes in charcoal (pictured), brown and fuscia(!);
Has a wickedly-curved 3.5-inch heel;
Is soft-looking enough for the office, but would dominate at happy hour; and
Is made entirely of sustainable materials.

Exhibit B: Cuffed bootie, aptly titled the Hendrix Boot.Stats:

Comes in black and brown (pictured), the latter of which is perfect [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

To Covet: Magenta Fifty Five

Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – whether or not they fit my style, budget, or even my ever-changing mood.  Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, be it eco-, socio- or independently-friendly.

MATT AND NAT Magenta Fifty Five: $250
I’m just now getting to like [...]

Sustainable Sales: Charmoné – Entire Store 40% Off

It has been a while since I last mentioned shoe designer Charmoné – almost four months, in fact – so for those of you that haven’t been shown their eco-friendly, vegan awesomeness, here are the basics from that post:

Compassion for Animals: Charmoné shoes are completely vegan friendly, and constructed with Italian microfibers that are breathable, lightweight, colorfast [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Boots for Women

If you say a word, over and over, eventually it starts to sound less like a word, and more like amusement.
Boots. Boots. Boots.
This past weekend, I was playing around on Endless.com, which has been adding more and more eco-conscious shoe designers to its arsenal, and saw the word “boot” so many times that it started [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Boots for Men

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 [...]

Sustainable Sales: Matt & Nat…Again

We’ve seen a lot of sample sales on natural beauty these past few weeks, but what I’ve really missed are the sales on sustainable fashion.  I need eco-luxury when I’m out of the shower, too, you know.
Apparently, Gilt received my telepathic messages, because their budget-conscious site, Gilt Fuse, is having a sale on vegan handbag designer Matt [...]
