A sneak peek at GWG’s Spring style…

We’re getting in some FANTASTIC pieces for Spring, people!  Here’s a 1st look…

The Kimmie tee by Curator is one of our favorite pieces for the season.  Brilliant color, cool, laser cut pattern and super flattering fit.  Pair it with short shorts or a full length skirt… insta-style!

Another piece of chic by Popomomo.  The Zabriskie cutout dress is a not-so-basic staple… side seam pockets, a short, but-not-scandalous hemline and a loose cut, this dress will become a 3 season favorite!

I mean… this is real.  How hilarious/adorable/eye-catching is the Hello Sailor tote by 44 Knots?!  The perfect carry-all… sturdy, sustainable & chic! Made in the US of 100% recycled vintage sailcloth. Available in Small (10” x 7”), Medium (16” x 14”) & Large (21” x 15”). Colors may vary due to nature of materials, shown in large.

And speaking of hilarious/adorable/eye-catching, Feral Childe’s Lightning Bolt necklace hits all of those points!  This necklace is as out there as an actual lightning bolt… and yet, we think it’s totally cool! Not for every neck, this piece is the perfect gift for your favorite edgy, artistic girl (even if that girl is you). Finished with a little mint green Feral Childe charm.

And check out the Matty dress by Curator!  A little bit “Mad Men”… a little bit Hitchcock heroine, the Matty dress has a vintage vibe with a modern twist (sustainability). Of 100% organic cotton and finished with a flirty fold over collar, elastic waistband, mesh front & back details and side seam pockets.

HAPPY SPRING, PEOPLE!

WEEKLY STEAL: the Mercedes Satchel by Hemptress

I love my Stella McCartney handbag ($1200), but in that I’ve had it for less than a year… I noticed yesterday that it’s falling apart for the second time (it received an overhall about 3 months ago).  My other bag is the Mercedes Satchel by Hemptress, which I’ve carried more frequently and for a year longer than the S.Mc.  And do you know what it’s NOT doing… falling apart.  In fact, it still looks as gorgeous and luxe as the 1st day I carried it (and I’ve even run it through the washing machine on the delicate cycle once)!  THIS WEEK ONLY – the Mercedes is 50% OFF!!!

It’s the “Mercedes” of handbags!

Hemptress bags are like vintage Chanel meets the 21st century meets hemp! Of 100% Raw Hemp body with bonded leather trim (repurposed from recycled leather) and light gold tone hardware the versatile Mercedes bag is roomy enough for all you need for the day, but stylish enough for night. Double handle, with removable shoulder strap. Finished with silk lining, interior zippered pocket and patch pockets with section for cell phone. Inside zippers are made from recycled nylon.

Dimensions: 14 inches wide x 15.5 inches tall x 4.5 inches deep with 6 inch handle drop.

And this week only… $100 (orig. $200)

Shine on jewelry… shine on!

I know… this looks like the beginning of a fun weekend, right?  A bit of gin.  A bit of jewelry.

Well, believe it or not, I wasn’t gearing up for a party or relaxing after a long day… I was cleaning my wedding ring!   Gin + dirty, dingy diamond = brilliantly bright stone!

It couldn’t be easier or more effective.  Drop your ring into a small vessel and cover it with gin.  Let soak for about an hour, scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse with water…. and you will be shocked by how shiny your bling will be!

I mean, have you ever???  Shine on!

Homemade Kale chips… YES!

We, at the GWG office, are obsessed with Alive & Radiant Foods’ Kale Crunch, but at $5.99 for a bitty bag and a hardcore Kale chip habit… it’s become a spendy obsession.  Cut to – we learned how to make them ourselves (fairly easy, btw)!

Our own GWG Kale crunch!

Admittedly, our Kale crunch isn’t quite as “cheesy” (and thusly, tasty) as Alive & Radiants’… but they are damned good!  Here’s the recipe (thanks to Gone Raw)…

Ingredients:

1 large bunch of curly, green kale, washed, large stems removed, torn into bite size pieces

COATING:
1 cup cashews, (soaked 2 hours)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
juice of 1 lemon
2 t. agave (optional-I don’t add, I like them more salty + savory)
1 T. nutritional yeast
1/2 t. himalayan pink crystal salt (use more or less to taste)

Preparation:

Put coating ingredients in Vitamix. Blend until smooth. Using your hands, massage coating onto kale pieces getting it inside of curls. Put on teflex sheets (don’t worry about flattening them, they’re better bunched up) and dehydrate at 105 overnight or until coating is dry. Slide onto mesh screens and dehydrate 12 hours, or until very crispy.
