…with EcoZen Boutique!

EcoZen online boutique beautifully embodies the concept of “eco-chic” with their wide selection of handcrafted clothing and accessories. The website is not flashy or overly designed, but their range of products will keep you busy shopping for hours.

They have great holiday deals as well as really fun eco-friendly wrapping paper, complete with soy based ink! Brace yourself for eco-shopping made simple.

I know you’ve heard it once, but let me tell you again—giving green is easy!

Nimli means “fashion-forward”

Friday, December 12th, 2008

I’m sure most of you green fashionistas have been shopping at Nimli for years, but if you haven’t, I suggest you take a look. The buyers at Nimli have perfected the art of finding fabulous fashions that are all organic and natural.

The website is my go-to guidebook for finding the latest green trends, beauty tips, and even accessories for my pooch! Nimli also happens to carry the entire English Retreads line. Holiday shopping made easy (and organic!).

A dog collar for an Elephant…

…Journal, that is.

One of our favorite Boulder pups, Redford, was gifted an English Retreads dog collar for the holidays, and apparently, he loved it. Redford’s daddy and Elephant Journal Editor Waylon Lewis shows English Retreads the love in their always interesting, always informative online magazine.

Our top three local green products

1.  Pangea Organics‘ motto is “Always Beneficial, Never Artificial.” This amazing, organic, skin and body care line is a must-have. I can’t go anywhere without their Italian Red Mandarin with Rose lip balm and I know many people swear by the Matcha Tea Mask with Acai and Goji Berry—indulgent, soothing and simply the best in organic skincare.

2. Common Threads reinvents classic vintage stores by combining local products with high-end recycled designer fashion. They also feature a fun creative lab where you can take sewing classes, design jewelry and much more. Consign and design and Common Threads.

3. Rudi’s Organic Bakery. We are all big fans of food over here at English Retreads, and nothing makes us happier than making our PB&Js on a few slices of Rudi’s Organic Bread. No artificial ingredients are ever used, which makes for the freshest bread—“tasting is believing.”
