Gypsy 05: Line I Am Totally Loving.

Monday, July 6, 2009

My absolute favorite thing to wear during Summer is a comfortable cotton maxi dress. I have a few in rotation and they are pretty much all I wear. That's why I was so excited to find this new (to me) company, Gypsy 05, a brand that I am totally loving.  

Strangely, I had actually stumbled on it twice in the past week, and either I am totally out of the loop, or me finding this very cool brand was meant to be. Last week I was walking down Charles street when I saw this super stylish girl in front of me wearing the cutest fitting maxi dress. My sister and I quickly crept up on her and I saw the label on the back of her dress said Gypsy 05. I made a mental note and didn't think anything of it again until I saw a similar dress in a different pattern in a boutique that I frequent, and this time I made sure to write down the name. Immediately upon returning home I jumped on their website, and I was so thrilled with what I found.


This company is awesome. They use organic fabrics, low impact dyes and water based printing in each collection. The clothes are super simple and completely fit in with the bohemian look I love. Based on their website, plenty of celebs have also fallen in love too. Even with all the press, they still have managed to keep their items pretty reasonably priced which I am very impressed by. Seems as though they are one company that remembers that we are still in a recession. Environmentally friendly, budget friendly, and ridiculously cute? Did I do something in a past life that gave me such great clothing karma? Yeah, hi...I'll take one in every color! 

Ok, not quite but I couldn't help snatching up this dress. 

Organic Neon Maxi Dress. 



Even more amazing, right now if you use the code USABDAY09 when you check out they will take 20% of your entire order. 

It is not lost on me that these clothes are very "maternity" appropriate as well. Maybe some of that good clothing karma can help my baby karma? 

Hmmmmm.....they do sell kids clothes as well, so it can't hurt!

Hi YM,
I meant to comment on your picky eater post-I don't know why i am not able to see that one. I think that some kids are just naturally picky I have heard of people with two kids one eats anything the other they have to do the heavy handed no dinner for you approach-which i understand why you don't want to do that (I too do not want early risers because of hunger). I would try to continue to expose him to different foods just keep putting it on the tray ( a little not too much waste) and I have some success with this method after a while you see them try it and like it. I sneak veggies in with with foods i know they will eat like tator tot mash or pasta wheels with cheese and some yes frozen veggies. It's not the most appealing look but they eat cooked spinach this way.I have read frozen veggies have as many nutrients as fresh and I also have read ingredients on the packages and they are getting any extra crap so I wouldn't feel to bad about using those.

I love those dresses too, but I am finding that I can't wear them. One I am not super thin and two they are so long. I tried one similar to that a few weeks ago and there was at least five inches of material dragging the floor. Taking it to have it altered would have cut all the pretty fabric at the bottom off. -Kriss

I love these kinds of clothes too. I also read your post about all the rain you've been having. We were there vacationing 2 weeks ago in the middle of all that wetness but still enjoyed ourselves tremendously. So much in fact that we are planning another trip back sometime by ourselves (meaning adults only).

Kriss- I find that to be the case sometimes too. I have a few that twist in the back. If you twist them a little more sometimes they get shorter. It really is crazy how long some of these are. Hi, we are not all the hight of Giselle (I dream.)
