Being green means passing the benefits onto others, which is why I recommend TOMS vegan shoes. They help those in need by giving a pair to a child in need for every pair you buy!
Since I started on my journey to become an Eco Empress I have, of course, been looking into retailers that offer eco friendly fashion options. As part of my journey I came across TOMS vegan shoe store, and I thought I’d write a review of what makes this company stand out in my mind.

If you think the shirt or sweater you are wearing which is 100 % cotton or wool is organic, think again. This is a common misconception these fabrics. It is true that they are made from organic raw materials such as cotton plant and sheep wool but these fabrics have been treated with chemicals to remove any insect infestations, odor, and other unwanted natural elements.

I thought it would be interesting from time to time to write about aspects of my own life, and how eco friendly they really are. I don’t know that much about eco living – all I know is that it’s something I want to work towards slowly but surely.

On this blog I document a lot of my struggles concerning going green. However, most of this is limited to style and fashion. Ethical clothes are just one way to go green – there is so much else left to be done! But I don’t think it’s bad to just focus on one thing. After all, going green is about taking small steps all the time.

Throughout the last few Tuesdays I have been writing about recycled fashion, and how to go through your wardrobe to decide what you should keep and what should be given away in the form of donations. This helps the environment by making use of existing materials rather than new ones.

When I was moving home a few months ago, some of the items that I had to think carefully about were my shoes. I seem to buy new shoes all the time, keeping a huge collection – out of which I only really wear a small amount. I decided I’d try to get rid of a few that I never wear. But I don’t mean throw them out – I would never do that! Since I am aiming to become an Eco Empress I will of course donate shoes and anything else that I don’t use.

If you are anything like me then you probably have a closet full of clothes, yet you often find yourself without anything to wear! No matter how many dresses I may already own, I still find it hard to find the perfect one – often leading me to go out and buy yet another dress! But I have recently started looking at the concept of recycled fashion to change by attitude.
Recycled fashion can mean a lot of things, but for now I’m talking about recycling my own clothes. It might not seem to make sense, but if you’re like me and don’t end up wearing half of them then this is definitely going to help the environment! Read the rest of this entry »

Old shoes are one of those funny things. I don’t know about you, but often when it comes time to get rid of my shoes they have been used to the point of no return. I have a few in good condition, but most of them I simply just cannot wear any more.

This is part of a series of articles on recycled fashion. This means re-using items, and can include re-using your own items that you never wear! Even if you can’t re-use them yourself, at least someone can if you give them away to charity. But it takes a good clear out to make sure you really do get rid of what you don’t need – and what you are left with is true eco chic fashion!

If you only buy second-hand then you may not worry as much about the material that goes into your clothing. However, if you want to buy new green clothing then you should think about what the clothes are made from.
