Rave Reviews: Under it, over it, in between.

Jan 17, 2007 Author: Aysia Wright | Filed under: Rave Reviews


Layer, layer layer…it applies both to dressing for snow sports and easy dressing in just about any weather. One essential piece to the layering puzzle is a lightweight, lengthened cami that is long enough to serve as a true layer under that scoop neck long sleeve, to be followed by the plunging V-neck sweater, and topped off with a multi-strand necklace of various found objects. This ultra soft, lightweight, organic pima cami by Stewart+Brown is the perfect solution. The arm and neck lines are satin edged, and the bottom is raw, so you can cut it to the length that suits you best. Happy dressing!

Rave Reviews: (Un)Mask it!

Jan 11, 2007 Author: Aysia Wright | Filed under: Rave Reviews


Health & beauty is more than Skin Deep, according to the Environmental Working Group and truly natural and organic is the only way to go with your bodycare this year as we vow to wean ourselves from all of those toxics laden creams, gels and serums for the healthier new crop of organic self care products out there. Here’s one way to get started, and while this might not be the perfect accessory for that masquerade party (tends to get a bit crumbly with excessive smiling), the MiEssence collection of mineral masks is one sure way to reveal a more youthful, less clogged, more balanced face this year that does NOT need any cover up! Packed with natural mineral clays, organic herbs, and essential oils, you can just slip into your robe, grab some cuke slices and treat yourself to a mini in-home facial…at a fraction of the cost, and sans the less than savory ingredients in typical skin care masks. Go ahead…slather it on, from your ears to your chest! Choose from Purifying, Balancing or Rejuvenating.

You know the old saying ‘beauty is pain’? Well throw that out the window and slip on this stunning jacket from eco-design gurus Stewart+Brown! Soft organic french terry and a drawstring empire waistline make for unbelievable comfort, while blazer-style detailing adds style! Plus it is a perfect piece for transitioning through the seasons. During spring, wear with a cute camisole and flirty printed skirt. For colder weather, pair with a thermal tee and slim jeans tucked into boots. Get it at Greenloop!

Cozy up with sweet cashmere caps and scarves by LA’s hottest eco-designer Deborah Lindquist! Made from recycled cashmere sweaters, these snuggly accesories are just the thing to keep you nice and toasty during chilly weather. The scarves have alternating panels of cable and straight knit sections for interest and texture. Cutouts depict doves (for the sweetest girls), skulls and crossbones (for the rocker chick), and steers (works for both guys and girls alike). And during our Winter Sale they are marked down 30%! So go ahead and stock up on designer duds for less, at Greenloop!

As 2006 comes to an end, take some time to reflect on the past year… And get ready for the fabulous year you are going to have in 2007! Start it out right with a luxuriously long pampering session in your very own home with Bathe Me. Based in Oregon, they offer a full line of decadent bath oils, milks, and teas, all of which are organic! Steep yourself in the tub with the Jasmine Bath Tea, or soak your tootsies in hot water scented with the Spearmint Body & Bath Oil while watching a movie in your robe! Repeating this once a month is sure to be a resolution we can keep! Soften up at Greenloop!

This little number by Perfectly Imperfect has versatility written all over it! Long enough to wear as a dress, or as a shirt thrown on over jeans with a big funky belt. Made from 100% hand-dyed organic cotton, so you know you won’t be exposed to all sorts of who-knows-what… This peice is ideal year-round; for winter, wear with tall faux-shearling boots and crocheted tights or over cuffed trousers with a cropped jacket. For summer, wear over your bikini as an easy beach cover-up, or scrunch up the sleeves and wear with a wide belt and flats for running errands in style. Whatever the tempurature this baby is sure to keep you lookin’ hot! Feel the heat at Greenloop!

Rave Reviews: Boys Night

Classic chinos are a wardrobe mainstay, and this pair from Loomstate is just the thing! A slimmer straight cut gives them a cool modern shape, while classic black makes for easy wearability. Pair with a concert tee and a Sameunderneath hoody for riding your bike around town or running errands. For a date, wear with a cool button-up from Edun and a recycled tire belt. Large beltloops, slash pockets, and an off-center button add interest, while 100% organic cotton makes for comfort. Good for you, good for the enivironment. Now that is cool! Try on a pair at Greenloop!

Rave Reviews: Globetrotter

Just because you’re not a world traveler doesn’t mean you can’t look like one! Perfect Organics has come out with a fabulous new line of lip and cheek shimmers inspired by the hottest international cities, from London to Tokyo! Now how do you get the flavor and feeling of a city into a lipstick? Imagine sunny warm weather and tanned skin and you have the bronzy sun-kissed tones of Santiago. London is a rich berry stain, perfect for the city that marries modern sensibility with English eccentricity. A shimmery pale pink is representing Tokyo, the city of bright neon lights and traditional hospitality. Plus, a smooth texture and super moisturizing ingredients keep lips feeling soft and supple! Available at Greenloop!
