Gilt’s Gone Green For Earth Day

It looks like I’m not the only one who’s celebrating Earth Day with renewed fervor this year. My favorite (and oft-mentioned) sample site, Gilt.com, is celebrating with me:

Everyone looks good in green and to celebrate Gilt Groupe will be offering a unique Earth Day celebration sale this Thursday, April 22^nd with a portion of proceeds benefiting the National Audubon Society and The Nature Conservancy.

In addition [to the sale], all items in the Gilt ‘Gift Tab’ will be green friendly, including organic totes and handbags, eco-friendly tees, soy candles, recycled scarves and Earth friendly make-up. Of note, the biggest item on sale within the Gilt ‘Gift Tab’ is gifting trees through American Forests; it’s a dollar per tree, with bundles selling at $15, $50, and $100.

Without further ado, here is a sneak peek at what you can expect starting today at 9AM PDT:

Women

Earth-friendly Apparel: Loomstate and Stewart+Brown

Loomstate is my homie. Stewart+Brown will be. This is a must.

Eco Accessories: Matt & Nat, Loomstate, Maptote and Simple Shoes

MATT & NAT! Yay! You all know how I go on and on…so I’ll stop. But still: MATT & NAT!

Natural Beauty: Dr. Hauschka

Okay, Gilt is all over this beauty line. I’ll admit that I haven’t tried it yet, but it has gotten some great reviews, so if you’re looking to change skincare lines, this is a good opportunity.

Sustainable Jewelry: Alex & Ani and SURevolution

They’re everywhere, and usually full price. This is a good chance to get a discount on a great eco jewelry designer.

The Little Green Dress: Doucette Duvall

New designer for me to love. ‘Nuff said.

Home

One hundred percent of the net proceeds from these incredible prints by Mark Godfrey and Chris Helzer will go to the Nature Conservancy, the leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters.

Reduce & Reuse: SIGG

My sister’s got one. They’re kind of the bomb.

Areaware & Baggu

Expandable totes and nylon shopping bags. You’d be surprised at how useful they can be, both at the grocery store and out shopping.

Environmental Living: Shiner Furniture

Modern furniture made of recycled steel and cardboard. Oh Em Gee. (I freaking love that chair on the left.)

Eco-Living Books

The woman in the middle, Alice Waters, is AMAZING. I saw her while flipping channels with my mom one night. She’s so sassy and passionate! I can only imagine her writing style is as amazing as her interview style is.

Goldiehome Bedding

Geometric patterns and organic fabrics: ultimate modern sex appeal. (My boyfriend is rolling his eyes at me right now.)

Thom Filicia Rugs for Safavieh

Would you believe that these are made out of yarns woven from recycled plastic bottles? Don’t be fooled: they don’t crinkle, and they’re stain- and water-resistant.
