3 Sleek, Chic, and Eco-Friendly Clutch Bags

3 Sleek, Chic, and Eco-Friendly Clutch Bags

I love a clutch bag. There’s something about a sleek, little bag, tucked under your arm, especially if you’ve got a cute bracelet on…it’s a very feminine look.  Here are some eco-friendly clutches for you to take a look at. They are all available online at Green with Glamour.
The Ruffle Clutch from Refind Originals comes in three colors; mustard, royal blue, and red. I like the mustard best because it’s a soft buttery hue. Very pretty with the double ruffle. The Ruffle Clutch is made from recycled material, “…super-soft leather, originally used for clothing, uholstery, and the like…”  It measures …read more

3 Reusable Shopping Bags Under $25

When I shop, I use re-usable shopping bags. My boyfriend calls them my “hippie bags.” Whatever, you want to call them, they make sense for a number of reasons. Some of the bags are plain, utilitarian, which is fine, but if you are going to use them again and again then why not get something cute and fun? 
Here are a few bags that I found at Nimli. Right now, at Nimli, you can get 20% off your order of $100 by using the savings code WA1.
On to the shopping….

Keep Your Head Warm, Girl (And Boy)

Keep Your Head Warm, Girl (And Boy)

One of the most effective ways to stay warm on a cool Fall day is to put a hat on your head. A lot of body heat escapes through the head, so cover up with something cute and warmly go along your merry way.
Here are a few handmade and upcycled hats that I found while looking around at Etsy…

Recycled Wool Brimster – $27
By A Babneau Art
Made from what was one considered a “hideous pair of wool slacks.”  The hat is lined with tan flannel inside.

Moose Poop Earrings

Here’s something interesting (possibly just to me, but I hope not….), are you looking for something unique in accessories?  How about the latest in Coprolite jewelry. Coprolite?  Is that a fancy gemstone?  Well, not exactly. Coprolite is fossilized poop. Yes, poop.
Jewelry is made from moose and deer poop, but there are many sources of coprolite out there, including dinosaur, fish, turtle, crocodile, and shark coprolite. I’ll have to do some research to see if there is any dinosaur poop jewelry (what kid wouldn’t be fascinated by that?) out there. 
What does the Moose poop jewelry look like? It looks like shiny oblong stones. …read more

Fall Trend – Choker Necklaces

When it comes to making updates to your wardrobe, adding new accessories is an easy and cost-effective place to start. Cheaper than a new pair of high-end booties or a designer bag, chokers are fun and funky Fall accessory trend.
The look is a mix of bold and feminine. The use of heavier-weight materials or a wider necklace takes a girly item and give it a touch of edginess. Some of the choker designs include multi-strand chains, beading – glass or metal, assorted baubles, and gemstones. Take a look at Rihanna below for an example.

I found some cute chokers in the …read more

Etsy Weekend – Sherry Pruitt Level Necklace

Etsy Weekend – Sherry Pruitt Level Necklace

Etsy weekend shopping…… In Sherry Truitt’s shop I found this necklace that is made with a repurposed carpenter’s level. I like this necklace because it immediately brought my Grandpa to mind. He used one, but it had yellow liquid inside.

Level Necklace True Blue Spirit

Here’s what Sherry had to say about her True Blue Spirit Level Neckace…..
Watch the bubble float gently along in this working carpenter’s spirit level necklace. It’s calming, so zen. It creates a focus to put your life in balance. And, really comes in handy during a picture hanging emergency.
Very unique.  I like the blue, it looks like …read more
