Its funny, yesterday I was thinking how nice it would be if there was an online sample sale type company that sold only eco-friendly brands…and this morning I got an email from Girly Girl Army telling me my dream has come true!  Amazing!  Pure Citizen is just what I was looking for!  I’m super excited about this site.  Check it out for yourself and be prepared for some great sales to come!

I’m SUPER EXCITED about my latest purchase.  I just ordered this adorable gray tank from Vaute Couture.  Leanne, the fabulous vegan designer is also the model in the photo above.   The tank is $32 and even better, shipping is only $2!  I’m really looking forward to the fall when she offers sweatshirts similar to these tanks.

Summer Tunic

I just ordered this adorable tunic from Kind Boutique.  I have it in grey and just love it.   It’s a simple tunic that can be worn so many ways.  Add a belt, leggings, and/or cuff/chunky bracelet.  The Popomomo Bess Tunic in Pistachio Stripe is on sale for $46.

New Popomomo Bess Tunic!

Category : Fashion

I just purchased this dress from Kind Boutique and it is absolutely adorable!  I think it’s a great transition dress into spring and summer.  Right now you can wear it with tights and boots and later with cute heels or fun summer sandals!  I love detailing at the neck – it takes it from a basic grey t-shirt dress to something with a little pizazz!  Erin from Kind Boutique said it also looks fab belted!

Crafted from organic cotton this super-soft, dappled grey tunic will definitely be a well loved favorite.

 All Popomomo pieces are sewn, dyed, and printed sustainably and locally in LA, using eco-friendly fabrics.

Ingredients: 100% hemp/ organic cotton jersey

Kind Boutique

Category : Fashion, Shopping

I just have to take a moment to rave about how fabulous Kind Boutique is!!  I recently ordered a pair of shoes and a dress from Erin at Kind Boutique and not only do I love my purchases, but her packaging is absolutely ADORABLE!!!!  Little touches make huge impressions in my mind.  At first sight even the normally ugly brown shipping box was cute – she decorated it with a couple little animal stickers – it made getting the package even more exciting!  Now I really should have taken a photo of it so you could see first hand but of course I just wasn’t thinking.  Anyway, upon opening the shipping box, my dress was neatly wrapped in tissue with more adorable stickers of cute furry friends and a little handwritten note thanking me for my purchase.  Erin has definitely found herself a new, loyal customer!

ecoSkin

I found  a new clothing line that I’m loving.  ecoSkin uses only environmentally sustainable luxury fabrics woven, dyed and sewn in the USA.  My first purchases from the line were a cute top as seen below and bamboo/spandex leggings with – coconut buttons on the back above the ankle (I couldn’t manage to copy a photo of them from the website – so you’ll have to check them out on your own)

Organic Cotton from American Apparel

I’ve really been making an effort to purchase organic fabrics.  American Apparel, which I already love as they make their stuff downtown Los Angeles, has a few great pieces.

I currently have this:

Today I found this cute dress online and plan to purchase it soon:

 Did you know…

Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up 10 percent of all agricultural chemicals and 25 percent of insecticides on 3 percent of our arable land; that’s more than any other crop per unit. That adds up to 1/3 of a pound of chemicals to produce enough cotton for a t-shirt, and 3/4 of a pound for a pair of jeans. And that’s just not bad for the planet; 20,000 deaths occur each year from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, many of these from cotton farming, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
