Just a quick note to let all of you lovelies know that my
printed eco bags are now available for you to purchase on eBay for just £12!
And as you probably already know by now, all of the profits from every bag are
going to charity (World Child Cancer & Orphans of Ghana), so it’s a
guilt-free purchase all in aid of a great cause!
There are 5 AWESOME designs for you to choose from - see the
BAG IT OUT page for more details...
Just a quick shout out guys & dolls: If you do one thing
today on your computer, you must check out Style With Heart @ http://www.stylewithheart.com/ - it’s an
amazing site dedicated to providing a guide of hundreds of ethical clothing and
accessory brands available to consumers today. I think many people would be
pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of labels on the market that are concerned
about our world and all of the people living in it, as opposed to simply making
a quick buck with no regard to anything or anyone else.
The site is split into a number of categories: Fair Trade,
Fairly Traded, Organic, Eco-Friendly, Recycled and Vintage. I dare you to come
away without finding something that tickles your taste buds; there’s almost
certainly something to get everyone excited about responsible fashion. Whoever came up with the concept of the site
is a super kind genius (the best kind of genius out there in my humble opinion). We're all going to have to begin to make more informed choices where the clothes on our backs are concerened if we're going to maintain anything that vaguely resembles a sustainable way of life for future generations to come. And if we consciously decide to make better choices now, and learn about where our clothes are actually coming from and the journey of how they reach us, then we will be in a much better position to teach younger people about these important issues, and pave them a better path.

And while I’m on the theme of kindness, though this is
nothing to do with fashion it centres on kindness which I believe is central
to the idea of charity and giving back, and fashion can definitely be a part of
that. Anyway, just take a peek at this ‘Thought Bubble’ animation by author Amy
Krouse Rosenthal - it added much needed rays of beaming sunshine to my day...
