Gaiam - Review (and a giveaway)



Fall is here, and in the Northeast the leaves on the trees are starting to change. The fall is my favorite time of the year, the warm weather goes away and I just love the chill in the air. Fall also marks the sweater season for me, I love the cold months of the year. I want to introduce to a great company Gaiam, who sells comfortable stylish and environmentally friendly clothing and more.

About Gaiam (from the website)

Gaiam was founded to make a difference in the world by educating people about lifestyle choices that affect personal development, wellness and environmental responsibility. We began as a lifestyle media company with a vision that, given a choice, people would choose a lifestyle that is health and life enhancing — for themselves, their families and the Earth.



I was fortunate enough to be able to review a sample of their clothing they have such a great amount of items to choose from, and having them all environmentally friendly  clothing, that is just great. But the problem was, what would I choose, when there are so many great to choose from? After searcing I came up with: a Crewneck Sweater and Short Sleeve Tee. 

 Lightweight crew neck sweater

Light and airy, our sheer oversized pointelle knit crewneck has a flattering drape that is perfect over a slim-fitting tank or tee. Exposed outer side seams add interest and texture. Hits at hip; 30" from back neck to hem. Made of a super soft blend of 53% organic cotton and 47% rayon made from sustainable bamboo.

and a Short Sleeve Tee

You can never have too many tees – especially when they’re made in a soft, silky bamboo/spandex blend. Flattering deep scoop neckline. 95% rayon from sustainable bamboo, 5% spandex.

My Review: 


I just love the Crewneck Sweater, it is so light and comfortable. You may ask a sweater that is almost a mesh, is this really a good sweater, is this well made? And my answer would be yes a sweater can be mesh and made. This is made with sustainable bamboo and it a quality item . (this this nothing like the 80's mesh sweaters, remember those??) 

The sweater is so stylish soft and light, I just pair this with a tank and I am good to go.  The sweater will be great for the holidays, when we visit my parents. During our holiday celebrations the house is usually packed, and with the crowed space and the oven being on… comes the hot house. No matter what we do, the house gets so warm. 

I will be so happy wearing my Crewneck Sweater, I will be dressed for the season and it is light and airy, so I will be very comfortable in the "hot house". I will be stylish and not under dressed for the holidays that's for sure.

I was also able to try a Short Sleeve Tee, now this is not a cheap plain old t-shirt you would buy on vacation. This is a well made quality shirt, that just happens to be called a tee-shirt. I love the purple color it is so rich, and really pops. The shirt could go well with a skirt or jeans. I was able to dress it up with jewelry and wear it to the office with no problem. The shirt is comfortable to wear and I would recommend this rersitile top for work or play.

With the holidays coming up quickly (yes it will be here before you know it) A sweater or dress from Gaiam would make a perfect gift. Or are you looking for something else such as home decor, or bath items? Gaiam had a great selection of gifts. Still can't make up your mind? A gift certificate to Gaiam would make a great holiday gift too.
