Shop organic cotton at C&A - now on sale!

Hi guys! So I went for an afternoon stroll to the nearest city centre today - I am being an at home mom for the time being, so every day I try to take them somewhere to get these small legs and bodies moving.

As we passed the store C&A I noticed my favorite sign 'SALES' and took them inside right away -since I earlier had discovered that this chain carries styles made of organic cotton as well as a large collection of Oeko-tex marked items. 

As usual, the greatest amount of sales items was in the girls' departement, and I made some great deals with girls' tops in organic cotton for an average of CHF 5 on sale. (We live in Switzerland at the moment and the store is located in Oerlikon by Zürich.)

And what do you know - I even snatched an item for myself in organic cotton - it was the largest kid size and it fits!! I am an size european 40, it has its advantages not being tall sometimes ;)

The kids (aged 4 and 2) also selected something, this time it was pajamas, and even though not made of organic fabric, at least it was Oeko-tex 100.

So tell me - was this information useful to you - do you live near by any C&A outlets? And if you do, would you ever shop there, or is the store not sustainable enough for you? I like to shop there because the prices are very low, and I don't have an personal income at the time being.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, and recommendations for your favorite sustainable fashion outlet!

Love, Greenhunter

My Birthday Wish

Tomorrow - the 1st of July 2013 - I will be 34 years old. While doing the dishes this evening, I realized that the next year of my life had to be extraordinary. That's why I here will post my most personal blogpost so far...and I hope my wish will come true: I wish to let my voice be heard - and for kindred spirits to hear it and be inspired.

So here are a few up close and personal pictures of me - I am a green blogger and part of my blogging is self-style, based on a sustainable apparel choice. Here, I was on my way to a seminar about a Fashion Industry without waste, and I am wearing a black knit top from a Swap Market, a white H&M  Conscious Collection tanktop made of organic cotton, leather-look leggings from Pieces marked by Oeko-tex and a DIY signature GREENHUNTER necklace. The wood piece in the necklace I found while in nature somewhere, and I hope to take time to make more of this kind of jewellery including sustainable materials soon.

And here a couple of pretty raw shots of the 100% ethical catwalk show SUSTAIN at Brigthon Fashion Week 2013. It was a completely mind blowing experience and the first catwalk show I ever officially attended - that's why I made a gazillion beginner's mistakes. But I am still proud of myself for getting a press pass and some of the pictures are not so bad, right? ;-) 

And finally - the two most interesting things that happened in my week - in a two very different ways. Friday afternoon, a driver on the street had a seizure and his car derailed and steered in the direction of me and my companion P. In the last of the last minutes I reacted and moved, and the car only lightly touched us. Others on the busy street of Copenhagen were not so lucky - P later gave me a champagne, she feels like I saved her.

And another of my favourite places right now - Twitter - provided me with a free portion of water-kefir, a symbiosis between probiotic bacteria and yeast. I hope to pay it forward soon if it keeps growing nicely, and also to taste my own Paleo soda tomorrow :-)

My next year of life WILL be fantastic - I hope yours will, too!

Love, Greenhunter <3
