Say what you will about Valentine’s Day, but we at Green With Glamour will get behind any celebration of love (though we obviously don’t support the massive waste and consumerism involved).  So… give (or plant hints to receive) some stylish and sustainable goodies for Feb. 14th!

Speaking from experience, Only Hearts’ Organic Chemise (I own in black), is not only demurely sexy, oh-so-flattering and super soft… it’s  only $45 – though she’ll never know it’s a bargain!

Ooh la la!

From incredible jewelry designer, Jennifer Dawes, we are smitten with her Hewn Ring with Ruby, $1,950!  I mean… have you ever?!?

Or you can keep your favorite jewelry pieces (or whatever) in the adorable Rosebud Felt bowl by Domestic Aesthetic, $75!

Well, Hello Dolly (tee)!  Delight the country-lovin’ girl in your life with this soft and chic throwback number by Curator, $65.

A rose by any other name, right?  The Rose Studs (available in yellow gold, pink gold and sterling silver) by Julia Failey, $95, are the perfect way to tell the gal you adore that she’s the apple of you’re eye (we’re off the rails with our metaphors)!

Also from Only Hearts (and I can also attest personally to the loveliness of this piece as well), the Organic Cami is deeeeee-vine!  Soft, sexy and a mere $39… this baby will turn all of the right heads.

And though we’re actually recovering from this past decade’s financial fiasco, the Recession Glass Set by Esque, $375, makes high-end, hand-blown glass pieces named after an awful period of recent financial history… look absolutely lovely!

With the buzz about Jennifer Aniston’s pregnancy with what could be twins, I thought it was important to highlight another pregnant woman, who dresses in eco-chic. No I’m not talking about Jessica Alba, although we love her green diet and style, Bones’ star Emily Deschanel is expecting later this year with husband, David Hornsby (who is hilarious as Rickety Cricket on Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia for those who have not seen it).

Emily and David with Nearly Matching Sunglasses

Despite Emily’s very talented family members, the star is very down-to-earth and constantly tries to share her Eco-Faves so others can benefit from green living. And pregnancy has not stopped Emily’s dedication to Veganism, which she has stuck to for the past nineteen years. The star says she can turn anyone vegetarian. To her credit, she has inspired Bones’ co-star and original vampire hunk David Boreanaz (Angel sucking blood, yet collecting hearts long before Edward fought werewolves for Bella’s heart) to try and eat vegetarian at least one day a week.

Emily and Starlet Sister Zooey (The New Girl, 500 Days of Summer)

Deschanel’s accessories also prove to be eco-friendly. Starting with her biggest, her car! Deschanel drives a Prius, and not just because she wants to go in the carpool lane (the Prius’ stickers for the carpool lane will expire later this year). Emily’s character on Bones dons eco-friendly, fair-trade bling. You’ll never catch Doctor Temperance “Bones” Brennan in fur or leather.

Emily and Bone's Co-star David Boreanaz

We have to admit that we are a little biased in our love for Emily’s style and eco-favorites. Before the actress found out that her family was expanding, she would contribute her eco-must haves to the Green With Glamour site.
Best of luck with your first child, Emily! Keep up the great work and good luck turning the world vegetarian, one meet eater at a time!

You want to beat the heat… and still look good, right???  Well, we’ve got just the way to do it!  Popomomo’s Zabrieski dress is edgy, feminine,  and open-backed to keep you cool.  Not to mention, pink is perfect right now for Summer… and will totally work with browns, navy and dark greens in the Fall.

And this week, this hot number is 60% OFF – ONLY $59

Of sustainable Cupro, which breathes like cotton and hangs like silk. Made in the US.

Sizing note: This piece runs a bit small. Please take into consideration when ordering. Enjoy!

Father’s Day is around the corner, people!  Whether your father, son or husband is a big music man, a dapper don or even a beach bum… Celebrate dad with eco-minded and super stylish  gifts!

Great and “green” Father’s Day finds!

There are very few things I enjoy more in the fashion world than a full length dress.  I love formal gowns, I love vintage caftans and I love modern Maxi dresses!  At Green With Glamour, we currently have 2 very different Maxis… and I own (and LOVE) them both.

Classically chic… And 70s inspired casual.

On the left we have the Carmelina by Kelly B.  It’s crazy flattering, elegant and soooooo easy to wear.  I throw it on with anything from flip flops to espadrille wedges and it always garners a wild amount of compliments.  The beautyWear it day or night… with pearls or with bold, nature-y jewelry like tagua.  And on the right, we’ve got the Fleetwood by She Bible.   It’s easy, breezy, and oh-so-Seventies!  It’s not quite as all-purpose as the Carmelina… but what the Fleetwood lacks in versatility, it makes up for 100 times of in WOW Factor!  There has not been a time when I’ve worn this that I haven’t had a stranger or 2 stop me to ask about it.  It’s super-flattering and unlike anything else out there.  Get you Max on, Ladies!!!

“I could gush on forever about Tiffany Romigh’s style… I’ve seen her rock a designer cocktail dress and Louboutins at a party where most everyone was wearing jeans (Musicians!?!), and reversely, I’ve seen her turn heads in a tank top, jeans and sneakers at a tony Beverly Hills watering hole. I’ve seen her wear rare Courreges at home and I’ve seen her work a daring neckline in the daytime. Tiffany dresses for her mood – not for you, me or whatever trend is rolling around. She takes risks (and not just with her style), and I so greatly admire that.

—Deana Bracken, GWG President & Creative Director

If nothing else, style to me is about options. My closet has had a Denim Invasion. A late 60s, French moment. A studs-and-leggings Sunday. And I even have the gear to be that woman at the pool; the one who wears her bathing suit with a pair of low, sling-back heels and a summer-weight cashmere wrap and drinks lemonade from a martini glass. (I just hope I have the guts to step into her skin.)

What am I saying? I’m saying that because of the new wave of style innovators and the always-chic design legends and their care and feeding of the objects that have become a real part of our lives, I can be a 70s rock chick one day and a demure coquette the next and still feel like myself. There are that many great things out there.

So this season, I bow my head and blow a kiss to options: a luxe cotton dress with a ruffle down each side.

A clutch that’s both backstage and center stage.

Some studs that come up roses.

Wooden sunglasses that are equally at home in a vintage station wagon and on a beach.

And a denim skirt that could have been designed in the 1920s or in 2020.

But here’s the thing. Whichever way the wind blows, it kind of doesn’t matter. Because when I put together something that feels perfectly “me”, it always feels like home. And with all the options this season, I can buy a home in every place I like.

—Tiffany Romigh, Writer and Living GWG Contributor

I just love getting assignments from magazine editors!  They always ask me for lists… of anything from big ticket goodies to super budget-y finds.  I get to (online) shop and dream and create new vignettes in my head.  It’s just about the best thing ever.  My latest assignment was given to me by The Knot… a really chic wedding magazine.  The list – a simple rundown of my 10 decor obsessions for Spring.  Done!

Here’s to a happy & stylish Spring!

Spring is just around the corner and Green With Glamour is ramping up for warm weather looks!  New  fashion is trickling into GWG Headquarters and our excitement is on the rise.  We’re really vibing a polished, 70s look for the upcoming season… pretty patterns, bold (without being too bright) hues and feminine-without-being frilly silhouettes.  And though our in-house line, The List by GWG is young & small… we love each piece.  All hail The Clutch in 70s Chic!

Made from vintage deadstock cotton fabric… from the actual 1970’s, The Clutch is the perfect piece for both ladies who prefer to use patterns sparingly (just imagine how cute with a beloved LBD and wedges) AND for ladies who like to be bold with prints (just picture with your favorite striped tee or floral sundress).  It even works sooner than Spring/Summer with a tank, cardy and skinny jeans. So, so, so stylish!  And like every piece from The List by GWG collection… it’s a limited edition – available only Spring/Summer 2011!

Lined in organic cotton/hemp linen, The Clutch is sustainable, stylish… and oh-s0-current!  COMING SOON….

PERRRRRRRFECT for Valentine’s Day, the Ranier dress by EcoSkin is one of our all-time favorites!  Elegant AND wearable, you will turn every head in the house.

What a stunner, right?!?  And only $59 (originally $179)!

The Amedee Crochet necklace by She Bible is one of Kat’s favorite pieces.  She wears hers with anything from a simple tank top & jeans to a sexy dress with a plunging neckline. C’est magnifique…  and this week, it’s only $24!

A sexy statement in delicious crochet… a bit bohemian and a bit elegant. The braided design is chic and modern, folksy and fun. Faux suede ties allow for adjusting the length of the chic piece!  Made in the U.S. (and did we mention it’s now only $24?!)

I’m a creature of habit for many things… my jewelry definitely is a habit.  Earrings – either or Dawes Designs hoops, old pearl studs or Julia Failey rose studs, the watch my mother gave me in college, my wedding ring, my Julia Failey Octopus ring, a Tiffany bracelet I was given in high school, and possibly another bracelet or 2… often my Fahmina bangle cuff.  I’ve always admired the way other women wear necklaces, but for whatever reason, I’ve never really been that gal.  Well, I’m using the New Year as an excuse to change all of that!  Necklaces… here I come!

DLC Brooklyn is a wonderful line… creative, feminine without being “frilly” and made entirely of vintage materials.  We sell a lot of DLC  at Green With Glamour, so I’m going to a cue from our clients… and get some for myself.  The Pearl Pendant is a new design – and I love it.  Baby pearls, big pearl… pearls, pearls, pearls!

Pearl pendant by DLC Brooklyn

I’m also very much digging the Lotus double necklace by Julia Failey (clearly I’m a sucker for pearls).  It has a Chanel-goes-a-bit-Zen vibe.  Whether with tank top or favorite LBD, the easy sophistication of this piece is a real showstopper.  Of reclaimed gold vermeil, black onyx, crystals, and pearls.  C’est tres chic!

Lotus double with black onyx, crystals & pearls by Julia Failey

Another go-to designer for us at GWG, is Green Diva.  Her pieces are pretty and refined with just a hint of Earthiness.  I’m currently finding the Summer Solstice necklace particularly appealing.  The gold & silver combo is the best!  I wear these 2 metals together every day… so why not make it even easier on myself?!  Of hand etched 100% recycled pink gold pendant on a 100% recycled silver double chain.  Bring on Summer!

Summer Solstice necklace by Green Diva

The Fiona skirt by Kelly B is the perfect winter to spring basic – with a little pizazz!   And marked down to $26.25 from $105… can you really beat that?

This skirt works on everyone… it’s like a little fashion miracle! From hippy to boyish, long & lean to short and sweet (toothed), the Fiona skirt is flattering for all. With pockets and pleats in all the right places – and sexy, luxe antiqued brass stud details to finish the look, you’re sure to find you wear this skirt at least once a week! Of 95% hemp jersey/5% spandex for a bit of stretch. Machine washable. Made in Los Angeles.  And only $26.25 right now!!!

Sizing note: This piece runs true to size.

FINAL SALE

Risking arrogance, I’ll say it… my business partner, Kat and I are pretty damned stylish.  I’ve known her for almost 20 years and in all of that time, we’ve both maintained the same, respective overall styles.  Sure – silhouettes change, heel shapes vary, necklines, waistlines and hemlines all go up and down, but Kat has been consistently pretty and polished and I have always leaned toward… let’s call it “effortless”.   Each season, I love to see how Kat and I choose different pieces from the Green With Glamour collection… or wear the same piece very differently.  And though our styles vary, we certainly appreciate the other’s style – as well as the style of others.  So, we thought why not feature other stylish folks and their perfect outfit.  A celebration of individuality and style.  Each month, we’ll introduce a new, amazing person… and their approach to an ensemble  - My Style.

Nealy’s picks

Rose studs ~ Julia Failey                         Bubinga sunglasses ~ IWood Eco Design

Actress-turned-Filmmaker, Nealy Glenn, is a great representation of Green With Glamour. She embodies an effortless elegance for which so many of us strive mixed with an exuberant curiosity and compassionate drive to “make things right”. Whether she’s in a high-powered pitch meeting, writing at home or taking her toddler son to the Farmer’s Market, you can be sure to find Nealy in an easy-chic dress, perfectly accessorized, with her hair loosely “up”. What strikes us at GWG about Nealy’s style is that, while she may never put together the same ensemble twice, she’s consistently true to the “look” that is very much her own.

Also Nealy’s style:  Kiva, Greenpeace and savvy entertaining at home.

Going forward, we’ll be celebrating the Styles of a vast and varied group… Want to be a part?  Tell us your style and you may be featured on Green With Glamour too!
