Kind Boutique

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!

I have a baby gift to purchase and am super excited to check out Nat & Helens.  I’ve been looking at the website but can’t wait to go into the store.  Check out the online site or visit their Chicago store – I’ll let you know what I think once I make it in there but the online store as lots of super cute stuff – organic cotton, bamboo, etc.

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)

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).
