The Green and Chic blog has been though a variety of changes since I started it almost two years ago.  During the first several months of its existence, it no ads – just a bunch of  links. Eventually I added a long list of affiliate links and banners to jazz things up a bit. A few weeks later, I took most of the affiliate banners out to cut down on the clutter, and added several AdSense banners and links.  Months later, I took most of the AdSense ads out and added more Green and Chic related links and banners.

Though the AdSense ads are a minimum now, I wonder if its even a good idea to even have third party ads on the blog.  I wonder if it would distract from the blog it self and Green and Chic, since this is an extension of the web store.

I know its ultimately up to me, but I am curious as to what you think.

Vegan Leather Handbag with Pleated Pleather

I am proud to officially launch Cherry Berry Handbags at Green and Chic!

I fell in love with Cherry Berry when I won a handbag from a giveaway hosted at  Be Blushless blog (which is also an eco-friendly wedding dress shop, by the way!)  I was first introduced to vegan leather handbags and accessories when I became an owner of my first Matt & Nat vegan leather purse several months prior. My initial fear was that “vegan leather” would look and feel too much like plastic, and it would be a compromise on quality.

Cherry Berry (and Matt & Nat) handbags is far from “cheap”.  The  materials on my “Vegan Leather Croc Handbag“ doesn’t look or feel much different than any of my leather purses.  When I first took the brown handbag out of the cloth sack, I actually had to smell it to make sure it wasn’t leather!  In terms of quality and durability, I know  it will stand the test of time – something that is very important to me when “investing” in a bag or purse.

When you order a handbag from Green and Chic, shipping is aromatically free!

For the first time in I don’t know how long, I had a little downtime while stuck in a hotel in the Portland area due to unusual weather over the weekend.  I had some time to think about my website and the blog that’s attached to it.  I pondered what this blog means to me, my readers and where do I see it going.

When I first started this website and blog, I had no idea where it would take me. My goal was to have an online store; or at least try my hand at it for a bit to see how it would work out long-term.  When I was told by numerous people that blogging would help promote Green and Chic, I started to think twice about the whole thing since I never blogged before, or read blogs for that matter!
