Beanie La Femme

For those of you who haven't yet read our fancy green reviews.....I'd like to introduce you to Beanie La Femme. Say it a few times: "Beanie La Femme, Beanie La Femme, Beanie La Femme." Doesn't it sound cool? Doesn't it feel good in your mouth to say it? Doesn't is sound like the type of very fancy lid a very fancy lady like you would wear?

I fell in love with mine from the moment I saw the photo in the catalog. Also, because I have a small, cute head, I knew it would look great on me. It's elegant and sassy and stealthy and appropriate for any occasion. Plus, made out of organic cotton and tencel by Indigenous Designs, a fair trade apparel manufacturer based in CA.

My friends and I love BLF so much that we formed a club. We have chapters in two states, WA and MN. I wear mine every day. For hiding bad hair, for power walks, for hanging out with my new BF, for watching movies. I'm wearing one right now as I type. The black one--because it's my badass beanie. My street beanie. I save the ruby colored Beanie La Femme for formal situations and for BLF meetings and events. BLF is perfect for mourning, celebrating, visiting museums, keeping your ears warm, etc.

In the spirit of being both fancy and green, I think you should check out BLF, and apply to be in my club. Read the review on our main site, contact us with a nice message we can forward to the company, then order one!!! They're hard to find online, but if you visit the manufacturer's site and can't find one, call them and order one. Tell them Erika from Fancy Green sent you. I've included a few photos, but I'm looking puffy and old today -- not the best model for this fabulosa hat.



P.S. I also love my flower hat. Check our site for more info.

Clap Your Hands if You Love Beanies

I review a lot of gear -- everything from hiking boots and rain jackets for my other website to organic denim and recycled stainless steel jewelry for Fancy Green. Last summer was the summer of the skort. I couldn't get enough of them. This summer - all about skirts. This fall - it's going to be all about beanies.

I have a small, cute head that's perfect for hats, especially beanies. Currently, I'm loving the Sube Sube beanie from Chaos. In the coming months I'll be reviewing beanies from Debra Linquist, Indigneous Designs, and other fancy fair trade companies.

If you have a favorite beanie, please tell me about it. Better yet, send a photo of yourself  in your beanie, and I'll post it on my site.
