Swell Style: Vintage Styles For Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day, lets do a little vintage shopping over at Etsy.....


I'm not sure how "vintage" this is, but it sure is cute - a blue leather clutch purse. It's 9 inches in width and 5 inches tall. The seller, the 100 Percent shop, says that it is in "perfect" condition.

Vintage Navy Clutch
$10 at 100 Percent

Fruit Salad Vintage doesn't have a description for this dress up yet, but it's so cute, I can't pass it up. Contact the seller for full details.

Vintage 50s Cotton Candy Cloud Dress
$42 at Fruit Salad Vintage

Go green...bright, Spring-green with this 70s era vintage sundress. It features girly pink polka dots and a ruffle hem. No size is given and the measurements given were taken when dress was "flat." I'm assuming that means we double them for the full measurements, so a 38 inch bust, 28-32 inch waist, etc. A medium-large maybe? Contact the seller for more details.

Vintage 70s Green Polka Dot Dress
$36 at Dollyrocker Vintage

Swell Skin Care: Bioéthique Organic Cosmetics Giveaway

Go Green........with your skin care routine. Bioéthique cosmetics are certified organic by Nature et Progrès, which is Europe's strictest organic certification agency. The plants used in Bioéthique products are cultivated away from polluted areas, harvested when at their peak, and then processed with a method called bio-extraction.

This technology allows us to employ much higher concentrations of each selected botanical ingredient, thereby resulting in a product that is highly effective in visibly repairing damage to skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and visibly firming and toning the skin.

I had the opportunity to sample some of the Bioéthique skin care products for Gadabout Media's Beauty section. (Have I mentioned before how much I love that part of my job??)  The products are wonderful. They absorb quickly and leave the skin feeling incredibly smooth and silky.

Bioéthique's Eye Cream is made with a variety of botanical oils including: Chamomile Extract, Extra Virgin Sunflower Oil, Europaea-stearyl-ester, Extra Virgin Evening Primrose Oil, Rose Geranium Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil. It's rich in anti-oxidants and works to effectively firm and smooth the under eye area. Would you like to try it? Good, because Bioéthique is allowing me to give away one 30 ml bottle. WooHoo!

To enter the giveaway, please leave me a comment telling me one of your favorite beauty secrets. Make sure that it's a secret you'd like to share, because I plan to use the comments in an upcoming post. I will announce the random winner next week. Good luck!
