Review Follow-Up: Spun Organic Cotton

October 15, 2008

I have talked about, Interviewed, and Reviewed SPUN Organic clothing before…but now it’s time for a follow-up, and some new pieces…(these are just random pictures from outfits I’ve snapped recently – sorry for the brightness/color quality!) You can get all the SPUN pieces at Fashion Ethic and save 30% right now with code “grechen30.” I [...]

Review: Seaglass Necklace

July 17, 2008

I have been delinquent in posting this review, but I have already worn this necklace to death since receiving it! The seaglass necklace by Jessica Lee is just the pop of color I need for my mostly black, grey, and white wardrobe. Jessica Lee handcrafts this necklace (and her other seaglass items like earrings and [...]

Review: Tees for Change

June 30, 2008

I’m really not a huge graphic/message-tee person – I tend to stay more with solid colors and eschew patterns altogether. I know. Boring!!! But…that’s just what fits my age/lifestyle better and makes it easier to work pieces into my wardrobe. That said, I’m certainly not opposed to said tees, especially if they’re more environmentally friendly [...]

Review: Lizzie Parker Bamboo Tops

June 30, 2008

I’ve received quite a few bamboo pieces to review (scroll down for more reviews) this Eco-Month on Grechen’s Closet, but Lizzie Parker’s are definitely the most “fashion-forward” and unique of the bunch. The “Short Twiggy” in “hotpants” has been getting me through the weekends, and walks with the dog. And it “dresses-up” quite nicely as [...]

Review: Gaia Conceptions Organic Cotton Tube Dress

June 26, 2008

I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated multi-tasking clothing as much as I do now that I have this lovely Gaia Conceptions “Love me two times” dress. I love it as a tube dress more than just a skirt, but they are both fabulous, and perfect for travel. I took this to Florida recently and got [...]

Review: Melissa Recycled/Recyclable Plastic Sandals

June 24, 2008

I have been looking at Melissa’s “plastic” sandals for quite some time now, but only just now decided to take the plunge and buy a pair. The ballet flats are especially cute, and maybe I’ll try a pair this Fall, but I just can’t wear “shoes” in the Summer time (my feet just get too [...]

Review: Doie Designs Bamboo Dress

June 16, 2008

If you’ve never worn bamboo before, it can take a little getting used to, but I love it. I have a several-year old bamboo t-shirt I have worn to death, and I find bamboo to be incredibly soft and comfortable. It’s generally thicker and heavier than cotton – this dress is actually “heavy,” relatively speaking, [...]

Review: Sustainable Collective Organic Cotton

June 8, 2008

Another fabulous new eco-friendly designer is Sustainable Collective by Convoy Apparel. Sustainable produces more “avant garde” pieces than many other earth-friendly designers, and I think there is a definite need for that; they appeal to the more fashion-forward “environista” with their unique take on the hoodie, versatile vests, rocker-chic tees, and much more. I was [...]

Review: Jerome Dreyfuss Robert Bag

June 4, 2008

I told you I needed this Jerome Dreyfuss bag! After obsessing about it for 48 hours, I went ahead and ordered it from Active Endeavors last week and it arrived today. I haven’t actually carried it outside yet, but I’ve loaded it up with all my stuff, and so far, I love it. The leather [...]

Review: Beth Springer Eco-vertible Bag

June 3, 2008

I am so excited to review one of Beth Springer’s eco-chic handbags! I’ve been a fan of her line for quite some time, and now that I have an Ecovertible bag, I’m an even BIGGER fan! The Ecovertible bag is made from suede and reclaimed leather “bits,” it’s also lined in organic hemp linen. The [...]

Review: Rogan for Target

June 3, 2008

In case you’ve been stuck under a rock (or thinking about something other than fashion or shopping…), Target launched their new Go International Designer collection by Rogan Gregory yesterday. I normally DO NOT get excited at all about these collections; they are usually too “juvenile” for my taste, and never fit me correctly. But I [...]

Review: SPUN Organic Cotton Tops

June 3, 2008

This is my new favorite top. Seriously. I received a fabulous package of goodies from new eco-friendly designer, SPUN, last night, and I can already tell this top is going to be a staple in my closet. The fit is perfect – it flares out a bit at the hip, but isn’t boxy at all. [...]

Review: Joie Kass Metallic Flats

March 15, 2008

I’ve actually had these flats for several weeks now, but wanted to wait a bit to do a review. I got them in my regular size (8) from Revolve Clothing. They are super-comfortable, fit my feet perfectly, and I’ve been wearing them CONSTANTLY. I wanted to wait to post a review until I learned whether [...]

Review: Gerard Darel 36-Heures Bag

March 11, 2008

Gerard Darel handbags have long been favorites in their home country of France, and among celebrities in the US, but until now, it’s been a hard brand to find in the US. Honestly, this makes Gerard Darel all the more attractive for me; I won’t see my bag on everyone and their mother. I admit, [...]

Review: Maria Bonita Extra Shoes

March 6, 2008

It’s already Spring in my head, and now in my closet with the addition of these cute flats by Maria Bonita Extra from Active Endeavors. I was not sure at all that I would be able to wear yellow on my person, in fact, you probably know already that I don’t wear a lot of [...]
