Hemp Twill halter dress at Elizabeh Suzann (pre-order today if you’re a newsletter subscriber, otherwise it launches April 5 on the site)
Zady Organic Cotton Gabardine Raincoat | $263 after GRECHEN15 code for 15% off
Just a couple sustainable, seasonally appropriate items for your weekend shopping pleasure. Can I just say how ridiculously excited I am that Elizabeth Suzann is working with hemp for spring?? I LOVE to see designers using hemp, and have been an advocate for it for many many years. And that halter dress is so beautiful, it looks like a summer workhorse, although I’m not sure where you put a bra??
And Zady has rather quietly this spring launched their new collection, the rest of which is sold out. This trench/raincoat is made of 100% organic cotton, woven in Switzerland and sewn in NYC. The color is perfectly spring-y, and it looks like an extremely versatile piece. Beautiful for work or play.
Happy weekend everyone!
That dress is amazingly beautiful but no bra = not in my closet (that style wouldn’t look good on a chest that requires a bra anyway, so…..We’re all better off that I won’t be buying it 😉
I do want a new dress for spring/summer, but I want something I can wear for work & play, so while it doesn’t need to be dressy or formal, it does need a back. And a front. I’ll keep looking!
haha. a back and a front…
i could see myself wearing the dress with my emerson fry bra, or maybe over a suit during a beach vacation, or something, but it’s not something i’d wear all the time. i’m so small i guess i could get away without a bra, or just using a nubra, but that would feel SO WEIRD. i do love it though!!
No bra in a white dress would feel awfully weird. Even if it’s not sheer (and it’s probably at least a little sheer, right?) I don’t think I could do it….
The Elizabeth Suzann SS16 collection is pretty, but as of yet I don’t think any of it is wearable in real life :/ Hoping the additional pieces launched on 4/5 are more realistic for everyday wear.
Beautiful raincoat!
No bra = No go.
But the Zady raincoat is gorgeous!
I recently discovered Zady and must admit (albeit sheepishly – or in their case, alpac-ishly?) that I’m fairly smitten with not only their clothes, but their entire ethical philosophy.
The Gabardine coat is a beautiful example of why I’ve been smitten!
Lol!!!
I’m tending to agree that little looks truly wearable so far except for the two shirtdress styles, but those look a bit blah to me. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the collection though. Thinking of getting one or two things from the signature line but want to see the rest of the spring things before making a commitment.
Ditto Christine!
