Matt & Nat Japanese Paper Bag

The bright magenta color totally makes this Matt & Nat bag for me.
It’s a vegan leather bag, with magenta lining and about a bajillion pockets. You’ve got one for your cell phone, two on the outside and other on the inside. There’s also a cute detachable keychain!
Matt & Nat bags are great for those concerned […]

Teich Scallop Clutch

Although these are not veggie friendly clutches, they leather used here was vegetable tanned, so it’s definitely more conscious.
These clutches by Teich also have hemp in them and they look gorgeous. The scallop is very retro with a modern touch. I like oversized clutches for going out because they’ll actually hold all your stuff and […]

green video: bunnies and carbon footprints

It’s Friday and we need a little video break, so might as well make it green. I’ve never seen these eco-bunnies before, but I thought it was a way cute video.

Vireo Top

Get into the librarian or secretary look with this top by Passenger Pigeon.
It’s made out of organic cotton and hemp and was sewn and produced in Canada, where Passenger Pigeon is located.
I like the simple elegance of the top. It’ll be great for a work top and would easily carry into a after-work drinks […]

Sublet Alison Dress

I just got a mainstream dress like this pretty pleated dress by sublet clothing.
The puffiness of the hip area can be a little intimidating, especially since I was blessed with substantial curves in that area. However, the puffiness actually hides my hips a little and accentuates them in a completely attractive way.
This dress is made […]

Protect the Element Puff Sleeve Top

This is a tad pricey for me, but I love the design.
It’s a bamboo top by Protect the Element with pretty puff sleeves and a drawstring at the neckline. It’s a good mix of dressy and casual in one of my favorite fabrics.
$142

Organic Cotton Rene Skirt

Tow layers of organic cotton combine to make this pretty summer skirt from Raasta.
The bottom layer is a floral print, which you’ll see in a subtle way through the outer later, a thin cream with pretty trim. It’s a good way to add prints to your wardrobe if you’re not a print kind of gal.
The […]
