Although I do hope our little Branch Out blog is fun and useful, I thought I’d share some other blogs that I read.

Treehugger.com is the number one site to find any green news. They have articles and discussions on everything from greet eating to green politics. I really recommend this site to anyone who is either just getting into the green movement or a long time veteran because the information they have is just so extensive, but it’s still easy to navigate.

GreenGrechen.com is a great fashion website for all things green. GreenGrechen shares what’s new in the eco-friendly fashion world. There is usually a give-away or a discount code or tips on the next green sale, which is great for shopping on a budget. She also does features on new green designers and companies.

SeedandSew.com is another great site for getting all the up-to-date news on your favorite eco-friendly designers and even some new names you haven’t heard of before. I always end up following the links to check out all the designers this site features.

So there ya go…a couple great green blogs to add to your blog roll. Do you have a favorite green blog? I’m always on the look out for interesting green blogs!

We just love our local designers Jolie & Elizabeth and when they introduced their new Spring seersucker line, we just couldn’t be happier!

Thiri and I both love the Acadian Wrap dress.  It’s a great fit for anyone but it perfectly flatters a curvier figure.

And how adorable is Zahra dress, made out of pineapple fibers. Yup, you heard me right, pineapple. The pineapple fiber is extracted from pineapple leaves by hand scraping. After extracting, the fibers are left out to dry in the open air. Dried fiber is knotted and bound into yarn, then woven into fabric. The simple yet elegant fabric is soft and delicate with high luster. So neat!

And for you boys, we think you’d look just dreamy in our Gingham button up. It’s a classic shirt with modern tailoring for a slim fit. Just pair with our black Kenny pant for a hip mod look.

Also for the boys we have the Sam fedora. Any boy can pull off this fedora and the plaid trim will add a pop of color to any jean and tee combo.

So there it it, guys and gals, our hot picks for April! Remember to check out our location at 2022 Magazine Street to see all the other treasures we have for you. Including some great jewelry and fashions from some very talented local designers.

Spice up your winter wardrobe with any of these great coats and jackets!

The Lattice Coat:

This fabulous coat from Canadian designer Elroy is great for nights out on the town or to simply look chic while doing your last minute Christmas shopping.

The Lattice Coat is a fully lined double breasted coat with fabric covered buttons. The beautiful weave detail in front pocket and center back really make this coat something special. And it’s 100% Combed Organic Cotton!

The Kolaflage Jacket:

The Kolaflage Jacket from Satori Movement is great for any guy. It’s simple, cozy but with some hidden style- the inner lining is screen printed with a playful leaf design! It’s also a great weight with the blend of 55% Hemp and 45% Organic Cotton.

Also check out the warm and snuggly hoodies we have for guys and gals!

The Cloak Hoodie:

The Cloak Hoodie has an unbelievable fit falling at the perfect below-the-hips spot while nipping in a bit at the waist. It also has the most gorgeous cloak hood worn either up or down. Made in Seattle out of 100% Organic Cotton

The Summer Lovin’ Hoodie:

The Summer Lovin’ may have summer in it’s name but don’t worry it’s a great layering piece to add a touch of warmth under any blazer or windbreaker. Made by cool Californians this organic cotton hoodie is perfect for any laid back dude in any climate!
