Since I found her last year, Etsy designer Eliza – better known as ELIZA + AXEL – has been an inspiration to me.  The epitome of eco-friendly, Eliza uses recycled materials to transform the common t-shirt into something far more interesting.

These aren’t your typical screen-printed tees.  They’re made using recycled embellishments, which are hand-sewn onto each Alternative Apparel tee with care, creating naturally-inspired, feminine designs.

(I like this version of “floral” a lot better than the myriad of prints I’ve been seeing in stores lately.)


Eliza has offered up her most popular tee, the Flora tee, to be given away to one lucky Awakened Aesthetic reader! The offer is open to anyone – all over the world, no restrictions.  Here’s how to enter:

  1. First, add Awakened Aesthetic to your RSS reader (or enter your email address in the sidebar).  With three more giveaways already on the docket for the next few months, this isn’t a bad idea anyway.
  2. Then, comment on this post with which color you’d choose – white, red, black or blue – and which size.  (See Eliza’s shop for sizing information.)

Want more entries?  Make a separate comment for each of these, and you’ll have a better chance of winning.  (You can do any, all, or none of these.)

  1. Follow Eliza (@ElizandAxel) and me (@errant_)on Twitter.
  2. Retweet the giveaway!  “Giveaway on AwakenedAesthetic.com: a handmade embellished floral tee by @ElizandAxel! http://tinyurl.com/AAFreeFloraT (via @errant_)” (You can retweet up to once a day; comment here each time you tweet.)
  3. Follow the both of us on Facebook (http://tinyurl.com/AwakeAestheticFacebook and http://tinyurl.com/ykeu59p).
  4. Then get another entry by sharing the giveaway on Facebook – you can use the green “Share” button at the bottom of this post, or grab it off of the Awakened Aesthetic Facebook page.
  5. Comment with another favorite from Eliza + Axel.  The Ava TunicThe Cameo TeeThe Nina Dress?  (Mine is the Fiona Tee.)

Remember: You have to leave a separate comment for each of these, or they won’t count!  (I tally the comments to randomly choose a winner.)

As someone who adores handmade, embellished pieces, but has absolutely zero creative talent, this is all very exciting (and I’m a little jealous of the winner, who will be chosen on June 1.)  If you do have some talent with a needle, though, Eliza + Axel offers a kit to create a Flora tee of your own.)

Good Luck!

    I like the Flora top in black and white, but I would choose to have it in Marine, size M because I need more color in my wardrobe.
