Eco-Stylista

It may only be Wednesday, but if you’re anything like me, you’re already dreaming of weekend bbqs and the first big weekend at the beach. With Memorial Day just around the corner, one of my favorite eco-friendly online boutiques, Stewart + Brown, has just announced another thing to look forward to this long holiday weekend – an extra discount on sale merchandise! Calling the event an Online Sidewalk Sale, for the next few days, you can stock up for your future beach weekends with an additional 30% off all of their sale merchandise using the code MMD30 at checkout.

That means cute summer dresses and silk shorts like the pieces below. So stock up now while they’re still available and make sure you’re ready to rock the beach this summer!

Womenswear clothing line Stewart + Brown have been making beautiful, environmentally-friendly clothing since 2002, taking inspiration from their love of nature and their passion for good design. As a trained painter, co-designer Karen Brown draws inspiration from colors and patterns you can find in her sketchbook (excerpts of which she publishes online!). For fabrics they use only organically grown cotton, lush Mongolian cashmere that helps the nomads sustain their traditional way of life, cruelty-free merino wool and yak down, sustainably harvested tencel gauze, hemp silk charmeuse, hemp jersey and linen cultivated without the use of herbicides, pesticides or defoliants, and factory surplussed recycled and salvage fabric, organic cotton and hemp canvas.

Their latest Early Spring 2009 collection is a mixture of pretty dresses and fun prints and basics, full of pieces that could be worn out on the town or at the yoga studio – not to mention their lookbook features some beautiful photography.
