Ideeli. Rue La La. Beyond the Rack. Modnique. These are just some of the flash sales sites I check on a daily basis. Though I love shopping, I always feel a little guilty because, here I am, spending all this money on myself when a lot of people in this world, in this country, in this city, can’t afford to do the same. These aren’t even things I need. But a new flash sale site now exists to help alleviate some of my guilt: LovingEco.
What is LovingEco and why does it help with my consumerism dilemma? Think of Ideeli but smaller, with four or five sales opening just twice a week, where a percentage of your spending goes to a charity. At the same time, the items you purchase are eco-friendly, fair trade, vegan, organic, and/or cruelty-free! So you basically support two great organizations at the same time – and get yourself something pretty, too.
Monday’s sales include: SIGG Water Bottles, Eberjey lingerie, and Margaret Rowe couture jewelry.
I especially love this Margaret Rowe piece for its glam yet lady-like ambience:
$57 (originally $114)
3% of net proceeds go to Global Green USA
Not excited about LovingEco yet? What if I said you can get $5 off a $50 purchase? Use “PinInstant5″ when you’re checking out! That’s another 10% off!
Let me know what you think of the site and if you get anything. I love seeing other people’s purchases!
