This necktie is gorgeous and will keep you warm. The luxurious mongolian cashmere can dress up any bland winter outfit. I love the playful stripes, and how the sophisticated colors take the classiness of it up a notch.

It also makes a great gift!

Handmade by a fair trade, sustainable co-operative in Mongolia, you can get it from Stewart + Brown.

The best part? It’s on sale for $59.00–down from $109.00!

Sustainable Cashmere Sweaters from Stewart + Brown

admin — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:16:07 +0000

I love, love, love cashmere. It’s soft and makes me feel sophisticated and elegant, even when it’s a second hand cardigan I found in a discount bin because it had a stain on the collar. (I really own that sweater. It’s yellow).

Thankfully, Stewart + Brown has glorious sustainable and fair trade cashmere sweaters that are perfect for fall! Here are some of my favorites. Warning — the prices are NOT second-hand!! But a girl can look, can’t she?

Double Collar Baarum Cardigan
I love the cut and shape of this sweater. It’s a sweet, girly choice that has jersey stitching and ribbed texture.

It costs $315.00 big ones you can spend by clicking here.

More sweaters after the jump!

V-Neck Sweater
The deep v-neck of this sweater makes cashmere sexy. It’s perfect for those days at the office or at home when you feel a bit saucy.

This sweater has a very fitted cut, so be sure of the sizing before you order. It can be yours for $265.00 here.Scoop Neck
I love this sweater because it’s a modern eco-friendly take on the classic fitted scoop-neck sweater. What makes it edgy are the striped cuffs! It gives the sweater some spunk.

This one is $235.00 and can be ordered here.A Hoodie
This sweater is fantastic for two reasons: 1) I love the rich purple color (it’s available in 5 color options!) and 2) it’s way too classy to be a hoodie! But it is! Blows your mind, doesn’t it?

Stewart + Brown promises that this sweater is “light, breathable and softer than you can imagine.” For $385.00, it better be!These are only some of the amazing options Stewart + Brown has in their cashmere collection. You can check out the rest here.

Chic Steal: Stewart and Brown Cashmere Dress

admin — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 02:03:14 +0000

EDIT: Note to self — stop using the word “cute” excessively. This is a fashion blog. There are no small children or kittens involved.

Anyways, this dress by Stewart and Brown is currently 50% off! That’s half price! (I like being redundant.)

The dress is handmade by Magnolian herders and weavers who engage in sustainable, fair trade practices. Stewart and Brown is a sweet, family run company that ensures quality, low impact fashions.

The dress itself isn’t too cheap — currently $110.50 from Hip & Zen — but remember, you are saving $110.50, too!!

Pair this baby with a pair of ultra sleek boots to kick it up a notch, or with some colorful tights and cute flats to make it more every-day ready.

It’s a great summer dress, but the neutral color and fabulous material will let it work into fall with a chunky knit sweater and the right accessories!
