It's that time of year again! Time for the pre-orders for Hoodies, Sweaters, and Long-sleeves!!! ^_^
I do these a couple times throughout the fall, winter, and spring. If you want to get your cozy sweater then you must pre-order as I don't tend to get extras to customize, so don't miss out! ;)
These are sooo comfy and cozy! And are all eco-friendly. There are lots of colours to choose from, size options, and, of course, you can choose from all of ReLove Plan.et's cute character artwork.
ORDERING
You can place your order through Etsy, or you can email (alter_eco@hotmail.com) with your Order Selection (choose from the "Order Options" in the etsy listings) -- ordering through paypal invoice instead of etsy means you get a 10% discount. :)
Hope you're all having a lovely summer still and are looking forward to a cozy fall!

I am overly excited to share another lovely giveaway with all of you! This one is hosted by the positively inspiring Linh La of "Love Peace Vegan"! :)
"This clothing line was created to raise awareness for those that cannot be heard, the health of humans, and our Mother Earth. Thank you for being veg, going green, 2 save the planet"
~Linh La of Love Peace Vegan
First off, I don't think I could possibly say enough good things about this amazing wonderful woman! She is a fellow kick-ass eco girl as well as a vegan. Her etsy shop is adorable and no two pieces are exactly the same. Her classic "Vegan" graphic is beautiful and classy with a modern touch that is perfect for anyone and everyone. Plus you can find anything from tops to pants to hoodies to dresses to adorable wristbands!
As if this wonderful woman and her shop weren't amazing enough, her shop is not for profit purposes! The point of the shop is to help Earth and its fellow inhabitants with proceeds going to support several charities like Ocean Conservancy, Humane Society, Nature Conservancy, Savethechildren.org, and more!
Now, before I go on to my little interview with Linh La, I would like you to see for yourself just how fun and positive and inspiring this woman is! These two videos are a MUST watch and will guarantee a smile on your face! She is such a fun and inspiring person and I am so thrilled to be sharing her wonderful personality and work with you all! :)
*********************************************
Tell us a bit about yourself.
LL: (Pause for 172.6 seconds) . . .
Well. Type A Personality. Lover. Vegan. Cancer Sign. Designer. Ego-Slasher. Asian. Meditator. Traveler. ESFJ. Seeker. Sinner. Student. Evolving Being.
Now, take a little bit of each, and you have me! Vwah-La!
How did Love Peace Vegan come to be?
LL: I was scouring the internet for shirts with Vegan Graphics that matched my aesthetic and I could not find it. So finally, one day, I made one. I wore them everyday and a stranger of a lady suggested, I should sell them. LIGHT BULB! My friend Galaxie introduced me to Etsy and here it is!
How long have you been vegan and what started your cruelty-free lifestyle?
LL: I was Vegetarian for about 17 years and then Vegan for over 4 years now. My body told me to: I was 7 years old and my stomach suddenly had these major pains and I could not eat anything. I was in the hospital for 4 days and 3 nights. The funny thing is they could not find a reason. My mom was a vegetarian for about a month. When I came out of the hospital, I distinctly asked my mom to become a veg-head. I never turned back since. Even when I was starting to eat food as a baby, I would chew the meat forever and then spit it out. I don't think I was ever meant to eat it.
What other projects are you currently working on or a part of?
LL: I am the creative director of all the Loving Huts in the USA where I work with the interior and graphic design (www.lovinghut.us).
I do freelance work and photography with "Linh La Design & Consultation". (www.linhla.com)
My mom and I own a Loving Hut Vegan Restaurant.
How do you spend your time when you're not saving the world?
LL: Relaxation. Meditation. Dance. Design. Laughing. Trying to find enlightenment in every corner.
One thing you can't live without?
LL: Aw man. My computer. It connects me with the world-wide-web, allows me to design, and is just marvelous!
Best piece of advice for life in general?
LL: My favorite quote that I am living by: "“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” Edward Everett
I think human beings are spectacular creations. We are so powerful, but I think we are afraid of that power or not willing to let it reach its full potential. With my eyes, hands, and feet, I will try to do everything that I am able to do. I am just one person, but my quality of a person will make a difference in this world as long as I am here! Let's save the world now, shall we?!
Today is a quick post but I felt that it was time I shared this wonderful company. I have mentioned Pure Citizen a couple times previously, but today I will elaborate.
Pure Citizen is a flash sale website with a heart, dedicated to giving back. It's a daily email featuring a carefully curated selection of the best in cruelty free beauty, organic fashion, fair trade accessories and more! They put items on sale every week by a couple different companies, usually with a 72 hour sale. The savings are huge, which is always lovely, but they also have a special donation feature that gives the customer the choice to save a little less and give the difference to their featured non-profit cause. From the companies they feature to the non-profit organization every week, thought and care have gone into the decision of each one. The companies featured are committed to making the world a better place, whether it's by earth-conscious practices, vegan lifestyles, building communities, or so much more, these companies put the planet first and make it more affordable for customers to get their hands on eco merchandise.
How it works: Every weekday members receive an email (called their Daily Love) filled with the inspiring stories of their featured company with the exclusive access on Pure Citizen to purchase their hand-picked selection of items that are 30-90% off.
They also have a really easy symbol system on each item so you can see which items are vegan, organic, fairly produced, handmade, recycled, eco-conscious, cruelty free, made in the USA, and/or one of a kind.
"These companies have heart - they are providing employment and job training for the underprivileged, building wells, reducing global pesticide use, saving children from slavery, rescuing women from prostitution, creating healthier products, and are overall committed to making the world a better place.
I wanted more than anything to share these stories, and make it easier for you to support these amazing companies. We are a small team - committed more than anything to running a company with love, putting people and the planet first." ~Pure Citizen
I recently made my first purchase off the awesome Pure Citizen website. If you haven't signed up on this website yet, you simply must! They have killer deals on amazing eco-friendly wear and other products, including a ton of Vegan goodies, ethically traded, etc. What's even more amazing is not only are the products they choose ethical and from the heart (and the sales huge!) but they also donate to various charities. The deals are up for 72 hours giving members exclusive access to these sales. The charities also rotate every few weeks, giving you a chance to snag up huge savings And support various worthy causes! Pretty cool! And they always have such lovely selections!
I was super happy with my first purchase off Pure Citizen, which came from an awesome company called Degree 6 Clothing (also known as D6 Clothing). The sale was huge so I couldn't turn it down, the items looked lovely and the company amazing. D6 Clothing uses Bamboo and Modal instead of environmental-destroying conventional cotton, reducing their water environmental footprint by as much as 95%, and they take care in their manufacturing practices. They also work with Generosity Water to donate a portion of every sale to fund clean water wells in distressed regions of the world. Cool huh?
I bought four items--though I wish I bought more! They are all super super ridiculously soft, comfy, and look fantastic! The flow and movement and cut of each item is just stupendous! I definitely will buy from this company again!
I'm wearing this awesome shirt that I bought (and altered) at Farm Sanctuary during my NY visit. Cute right? :)
And in honour of "Vegan T-Shirt Day" I decided that I am going to have a little contest, giveaway fun for you all. It just so accidentally happened that the prize is going to be a "V for Vegan" shirt I made... And today is the 5th of November!
You know?...
"Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot..."
V for Vendetta also just so happens to be my favourite movie ever! And I find it incredibly relevant and inspiring with all the "Occupy" Movements going on.
Anyway, excuse my excitement over this fun coincidence.

Some New Dresses and Sweaters that went up at Alter-Eco Clothing today and yesterday. I'm so pleasantly surprised by how instantly the sweaters sold! Looks like you all would like some more, yes? I'll get right on that. It's the right time of the year. ;)
I definitely always have an attachment to "Pretty Gothic" Dresses though. I have a few more that I still need to shoot. I picture these for every day wear but also to look dazzling (yes I'm using the word dazzling) at a Christmas or New Year's Party! Or, in my case, I plan on making myself one for my Birthday Party. :)
I also shot my new Jewelry "Enstasy Designs" which will be up either tonight or tomorrow. Very excited! And I have a few more dresses to shoot as well as more and more jewelry on the way.
As a vegan and an adorer of all things cute, I couldn't refuse buying this super blatant, in your face, but cute"F**k Fur" shirt from PETA's online shop.
Of course, being the designer that I am I also couldn't just leave the shirt the way it was as I don't with most shirts I buy, plus it wasn't particularly flattering on my figure and I destroy white in a matter of minutes. So, I took my own twist on it, added some colorful lavender organic fabric and voila, new adorable flattering top I now prance around town in. ;)
