Rave Reviews: Green … Period.

That’s how we feel about how we all need to live. Greenloop Project “green.” is an awareness outreach and fund raising campaign designed to spread the “green” word and raise funds for hard working, environmental, non-profit groups. The project begins with a custom bracelet and necklace designed by and available exclusively at Greenloop.

The bracelet is made from recycled rubber from tire sidewall, with an imprinted recycled aluminum plate, and the necklace pendant (coming soon!), strung on a ball chain strand, is made from recycled silver, collected from old film and combined with an organic binder to yield silver that is 99.99% pure.

With the purchase of each bracelet and necklace, $10.00 goes to support environmental groups including the Natural Resources Defense Council; Global Green; Healthy Child, Healthy World; Stop Global Warming Now, and many more.

You CAN make a difference. Act now. Show your true colors, and make them GREEN.

Rave Reviews: Warm, Stylish, AND Versatile

The classic army-style jacket has been in style for years, and it looks like that won’t be changing anytime soon. Loomstate‘s Organic Cotton Men’s Winter Army Jacket has been added to the Greenloop site and while being a great modern version of this vintage style, it also has a few updates that make this one of the best coats of the season. No matter the occasion, this jacket will work seamlessly. Got a hot date? Zip off the hood and fold up the cuffs to give you a tailored look. Heading out for a snowball fight with your young nephew? Zip on the hood and roll down the cuff to keep your hands and head warm. Lined with organic cotton fleece, you’ll be both safe from the elements and comfortable, no matter the chilly temperatures.

Rave Reviews: Vegetables Make Great Colors

Layering season (a.k.a autumn) is just around the corner, so you can imagine just how amped I was when the new colors of Stewart+Brown‘s Organic Cotton Lengthened Tee came in. Already having five different colors on this uniquely cute top in my closet, I’ve found that is always room for more. The pink-with-a-touch-of-purple “Beet” color is perfect for keeping that spunky, free-spirited summer vibe going long after your tan has faded. Personally, my first choice is the “Sable” color, which is very reminiscent of beautifully fresh plums and eggplants. Worn alone or layered under your chicest sustainable sweaters, you’ll easily dance the line between comfortable and stylish effortlessly.

Rave Reviews: Show Some Sun Love

With summer slowly coming to a close, I find it ironic that some of the best t-shirts are now hitting the stores. One of those t-shirts happens to be Zooey and Love & Eight‘s Organic Cotton Solar Powered Tee (one of a collection that was just added to the store from this line). These two established brands have teamed up for a “green project” to raise awareness about global warming and raise funds for the environmental group Healthy World, Healthy Child – a Los Angeles-based non-profit “dedicated to protecting the health and well being of children from harmful environmental exposures.” Part of the proceeds from each t-shirt sales goes to the organization; now if we could just get these brands to use green materials ALL the time, we’d be in business!

Rave Reviews: Keeping Up With the Seasons

My favorite fashion time of the year has arrived! As the summer sun begins to cool, fall styles start to get integrated back into our wardrobes. Unfortunately, those random 70-80 degree days still pop up and surprise us. That means layering is the name of the game for the next month or two. Cute swingy dresses, like Perfectly Imperfect‘s Organic Cotton Apron Dress, layer beautifully with a long sleeve shirt and some tall boots. As the temperatures continue to drop, the shirt can be replaced with a ribber turtleneck and some leggings under those boots will do wonders to help keep you warm and stylish at the same time.

Rave Reviews: Time for Your Weekly Cleansing Ritual

With all the great summer sales and adventures, I’m finding my wallet to be lighter than ever. Indulging in a professional massage sounds like fun, but it’s just not in the cards these days (because they are maxed out). My skin, wallet, and psyche have all been saved thanks to the Pangea Organics Facial Mask.

For less than two large pizzas, you can treat yourself to a weekly natural, deep-cleansing mask. Exotic ingredients; acai, goji berries, and matcha; sooth, revitalize and harmonize your skin, no matter the type. So put the take-out joint on speed dial, turn off your phone, and forget about the world for a night – a little relaxation will do you good.
