The Bite:
imageReady to rally in support of eco-friendly fashion? Vote with your pocketbook tonight (and find something cute to wear to the polls tomorrow) at Pivot boutique's Major Monday Sale. Pivot's racks are packed with cutting-edge clothes from more than 40 designers devoted to using organic and/or sustainable fabrics such as bamboo and Lenpur. On the ballot tonight: Stewart+Brown cashmere sweaters for under $120, plus a silent auction on two superswank couture pieces by Linda Loudermilk (including an organic cotton faux fur jacket; see photo), with 15% of proceeds donated to Growing Home. Also expect 10% off all merch that's already marked down 50%-80%. It's simple to vote your conscience - all it takes is a kick-ass bamboo dress.  
Wanna Try: 
Pivot; Feb. 4, 5:30-9:30 p.m; 1101 West Fulton Market b/t Aberdeen and Carpenter Sts. (312-243-4754).

Cocktail Fact

Specialty goats bred for cashmere each yield only about 4-6 oz of coveted ”underdown” per year.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Biters buy one 100 g skein of organic wool, we'll help keep 49 acres of sheep-grazing land free of pesticides.
