The Look For Less!

Yay! new items in my etsy shop. Just in time for the music festivals this spring/summer. I like to think that I follow fashion quite closely and when I saw the sparkly shoes and the safari jumpsuit I immediately thought of Mui Mui and Michael Kors. I snatched the shoes and the jumper up for my shop right away because who doesn't love getting the look for less :)

Festival Fever

It's that time of year when the Music Festivals get underway and everyone is out to look their best with a variety of looks from boho to hipster. I have carefully curated some looks for my new wall in my etsy shop with some of the things I think people would rock to this summer's music festival but to get you in the mood here are some creative and inspiring looks from SXSW.

Green Seams Thursday!

Hi all sorry for the missing post yesterday Jakob has been sick and I have been playing nurse. Today I'm showing you a shirt I up cycled that's all business in the front and partay in the back. It is currently in my etsy shop enjoy!

Green Note: if you have an over sized shirt at home don't get rid of it up cycle it with a little peek a boo back :)

Upcycle Tuesday!

I am beaming with absolute pride firstly because who I am featuring is a true single green female and secondly she is Canadian yay! Meet Andi up cycling extraordinaire her amazing shop Hoakon Helga can be found on etsy. At home in Alberta Canada Andi takes old leather jacket's, yeah you know the one's you see in vintage stores with huge shoulder pads hahahahaha. Then she up cycle's them into cool bags which I am coveting everyone of them.

A single green female doing good things for the earth a part of the solution not the pollution :)

Monday Must have List!!!

I hope you don't mind if I get on my soap box and give a standing ovation for Hand in Hand Soap what an amazing idea! I love the concept when you purchase something you give something to those more needy. Did you that each year that 5 million people, mostly children, die in poor parts of the world from diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections....WOW that's crazy!
 Hand in Hand Soap is on a mission to try to eradicate the lack of proper hygiene in impoverished parts of the world They have created a super eco friendly soap that is paraben free, petrochemical free 100% vegetable based with eco friendly packaging and shipped with a carbon offset!!!! Now that is uber uber eco friendly and my kind of people.  You can purchase this amazing soap at Anthropologie

Green Seams Thursday!

 I love love Isabel Marant everything she makes looks so comfortable and boho chic! I saw this sleeveless jacket on the NY times Collection app on my ipad and I thought it was an ingenious idea. An over sized jacket without the stuffiness of sleeve's. When I found this jacket in the thrift store I thought "Hey I can up cycle this over sized jacket into something chic" and Voila here is my Isabel Marant style jacket. You are probably wondering why there is no before picture sorry I was a little over zealous and forgot to take the picture before :(

Tree Saver!!!

Thank G for Paperless Post! I was first introduced to Paperless Post several years ago when my friend sent me an uber nice invitation to her birthday via email. I was amazed and excited, the invitation was so pretty like something you would find in Kate's Paperie. I instantly signed up and spread the word to my friends. My Best friend used it for her save the date and wedding invitation's last year, hence the reason for this post. I have been to many weddings and I have saved the invites but honestly there are only so many invites you can save!! And what about the tree's don't they need saving!!! That's why I love Paperless Post it's good for the environment and of course good for your pocket!
