I’ve got two totally random brown items today. I happen to be a huge brown fan. It’s dark, so it can be dressy, but it’s not black. Brown has a little more character, and personally I think it matches my skin tone better than black (but that might just be me). In any case, I love this Sacred Valley Wrap Sweater in espresso above. Made with pretty merino wool and alpaca. Falls to low hip, which is perfect and has that great pop of orange – way too cute. Hand Knit in Peru and Fair Trade. From Indigenous Designs.I was looking for another cute sweater, but instead came across these great Beyond Skin Brown Hazel T-Strap Pumps.

These are a new release at Greenloop and extra adorable. They should be for the price; but seriously if you’re going to buy special shoes, these are a great eco-choice.

Beyond Skin is an exclusive ethical footwear label producing hand-made shoes in Spain. The Faux patent used in the hazel pump is a Polyurethane rather than PVC.

Facts:

• Fabric and synthetic upper
• Color: Brown Faux Felt and Brown Faux Leather
• Manmade sole
• Heel measures approximately 3 3/4″
• Made in Spain

So I adore them, but they’re a little out of my price range right at this moment. Gotta wish list them.
