I discovered Kate Quinn Organics when I was pregnant with Sophie, and soon after made my first order. The clothes for babies and children are not only stylish but built to last. And they have a soft comfort – who wouldn’t enjoy wearing that?

A few months ago I recently tried out her newest line for women – I bought a couple of shirts and I was hooked! Recently they had a $10 sale and I bought several tank tops and T-shirts. What I like about them, is that they are longer and have a cut to them so they don’t just hang straight down like you are wearing a potato sack. ;) Perfect for layering. Comfortable, well made & stylish – and wasn’t I delighted when I received an email the other day that they have just recently launched a Canadian online store!

That’s me…in all my sweaty, no makeup, hair not done – just out of the sun/garden glory…and about as good of a self-taken picture I can get without the tripod! I was trying to show off the shirt.

Here’s what it looks like, per the website photo:



About 3 years ago, I started slowly replacing my clothes with organic cotton & hemp as things wore out. I was skeptical at first if the price was really worth it – other than the ethical factor that I know where they were made & under what conditions (BTW, not all organic clothing is created equal. I try my best to look for companies that will disclose the company background/philosophy & are Made in the USA or Canadian companies – the smaller, the better!).



I can tell you, hands down, the organic cotton or hemp IS worth it. It is the most comfortable fabric I have ever worn. I feel like my skin can breathe!!

It doesn’t have to be expensive! Many online retailers have sales just like mainstream clothing. This particular shirt, called “ballon” is made by a Québec Comapny, and I bought it on sale at Green is Black.

The bra underneath is organic hemp, bought & made by Rawganique. (Another side note: I am a BRA BURNER. When I was pregnant with Sophie, I gave up conventional bras. These bras are more suitably called “yoga tops”. They do not constrict therefore do not restrict blood flow or the lyph nodes. There is no unhealthy metal underwire in these. If you are concerned about the health risks of conventional bras, I encourage you to do research on the subject).
