In honor of Earth Day, The eco-friendly brand Edun is for sale today until Sunday on Swirl, one of our favorite places to score discounted clothes and accessories for cheap. This sustainable line was begun by none other than U2′s front man Bono and his wife Ali Hewson. Aside from saving the earth, we love looking awesome while doing it, and Edun’s jeans are a one way ticket to style-town. Jeans are marked down to under $50, and other separates go even lower. Several brands are up on the site in honor of earth week, including the organic line Loomstate and incredible handbag line Matt & Nat (all of their accessories are created from plastic soda bottles and other recycled materials). Also for sale, Baggu re-usable grocery bags and super-chic backpacks, and Coyuchi linens. So get shopping, and feel good about it!

Look, I know Mother’s Day isn’t even over yet, but this is probably a good time to start shopping for Father’s Day, if there’s any hope of getting your discounted, designer jeans on time. Although I think Gilt Groupe has done a good job with shipping my items in a timely manner in the past, it’s always good to shop early, no? Some jeans start as low as $68!

Funny that a friend of mine was just asking me about where she could find some good samples sale on her favorite designer labels. These days, it’s hard to tell the difference between sample sales and regular sales, because the prices are just too good to be true. I suspect the economy has a lot to do with companies slashing prices down to keep cash flow, well, flowing. And to make matters worse, or better, depending on your point of view, some of my favorite denim brands are now on sale here at Los Angeles’ Milk boutique:
