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!
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.

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 browsing Twitter this morning a link was posted about a government campaign that hopes to persuade more and more of us in the UK to reuse our old plastic bags and finally start using eco plastic bags!

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.

In my articles talking about recycled fashion I am trying to give you the inspiration to donate what you really don’t need, or start recycling it yourself. Recycled fashion is eco friendly because it makes use of old materials instead of buying new ones!

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 »

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.

Fashion is a tricky business. On the one hand we want to look as exciting as possible, with a wide range of designs, fabrics and colours, but on the other we want to do what we can for the environment. And, in many ways, we could say that the concept of fashion itself is extremely wasteful – not to mention harmful to animals. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In the case of accessories, there are many ways in which you can find eco friendly bags that are both fashionable and eco friendly! Read the rest of this entry »

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 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.
