Election a la Mode

The Bite

Ready 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.
