Ticking All The Right Boxes

Handmade in the UK, Minna is fast turning into one of my favourite new fashion brands. Although the pieces are quite pricey, the style of the clothing is so delicate and unique that it couldn’t possibly date. Buy one of these and you have have a friend for life. Just perfect for hot summer days and days and sandals right now, then teamed with black come winter-time.

First Look Narciso Rodriguez A/W 2009

Although not technically eco in any way, I just love the designs of Narciso Rodriguez. The simple elegance and lines make these pieces future friendly, in that they won’t date and should last a very very long time. So simple and yet so flattering…

Stay Stylish & Sustainable This Winter

It’s about this time of year that everyone starts rushing around like mad things, going to many boozy and decadent parties and generally trying to beat the cold weather and stay healthy.

Here’s some tips to keep even the most busy amongst you, stylish throughout the winter months and well into January.

1. Underwear. Wearing well-made, sensual, sexy underwear will make you feel like a million dollors inside and out even when you wrapped in layer upon layer of clothing. Find the best selection here.

2. It’s tempting to dress yourself from head to toe in black when it’s dark and dreary outside, but black can be incredibly draining when your already looking tired and washed out. Light colours will really brighten your skintone and instantly lift your mood.

3. I absolutely swear by Weleda’s Skin Food during the winter months, which I use lavishly everywhere from my face to my feet to keep dry skin at bay throughout the cold winter months.

4. Blusher is your new best friend in winter, smile and spread onto the centre of your cheeks for instant awakeness!

5. Using a flower essence remedy when your feeling stressed and drained can be a good solution when your just too busy to stop. Using a few drops in water daily can pick you up and get you onto the dance floor again.

6. Comfy shoes are a must in the winter months when you need to walk around a lot and trawl the shops for Christmas presents. Stay chic, comfortable and ethical in a pair of these gorgeous vegetarian leather boots.

7. Lastly, make sure that you get lots of zzz time. Getting to bed early and having lots of rest will help you to feel your best. Unwind at bedtime with a warm soak and a relaxing candle, just remember to blow it out before you go to bed!

Snuggly Winter Warmers

Shiver me Timbers

Oooh, its getting rather chilly and I need to choose a winter coat! I’m torn between the offerings at People Tree, BTC, Wildlife Works and Costilla. Hmmm, now how long can I wait to make up my mind…?

Ethereal Light Vs Dark Dior Fashion

I’m absolutely loving the ethereal & haunting qualities of John Galliano’s 2008 Autumn/Winter collection. Seemingly dark and structured pieces mix with soft and feminine items for a truly theatrical and magical effect.

There is no eco-friendly spin on this unfortunately – I’m simply admiring breath-taking design.
