Who loves ya baby?

There is some love coming back to us at the moment. Not from the media but some of our friends in the organic, eco fashion and beauty world. Grace from Pure and Green Organics got in touch with me yesterday. They are launching their first retail store this weekend so we'll do a Green Eyed Monster cross promotion with them.

And Anne and I went to Alex Hume's Ecofashionista Preview Night last night. Alex is a former lawyer, started her online store Ecofashionista after having her son Max and is now getting married! Her Spring range is suitably gorgeous - I bought some Good Society jeans from her a little while ago which go wonderfully with Green Eyed Monster T-shirts.

We also got to meet Joyce from Cycle Style who is pregnant but still riding her bike everywhere with all her cute cycling accessories. I've mentioned it before - it's nice to feel part of a little community in the world of online retailing and eco fashion. We are feeling the love!

Blogs away!

There are a number of newsletters, blogs and websites I subscribe to - mainly sustainable fashion, art & design related. Overseas newsletters include Ecouterre in New York and the Ethical Fashion Forum in the UK. Here, I love Michi Girl (check out Kat Mcleod's beautiful illustrations), How Big is Your Eco, Give Now, The Design Files, Lady Melbourne and our friend Natasha Kershaw's Fashion Rebel. There's also a lovely blog called The Balm (more beauty related) who have been kind enough to feature us in the past.

Alex Hume from online store Ecofashionista has invited Anne and I to attend her Spring Preview Night tomorrow night to view her gorgeous new range. Her friend Joyce should also be there. Joyce is a lawyer, produces Mel:Hot or Not (a daily review of all things Melbourne) as well as has her own bicycle accessories range called Cycle Style. There are a lot of clever men and women out there blogging away and I do wonder what this means for traditional print media like newspapers and magazines.

Tip of the Day: There's a great free online PR service called Source Bottle. If you're wanting to promote yourself, your product or service - check it out.
