TRANSPARENT TREND, THE ETHICAL WAY

One my favourite trends for Spring/Summer 13 that is kicking up a storm in the fashion world is Transparency. From the transparent clutch to the transparent bag or even clothes partly transparent, I love them all. Here is my version of top picks of transparent clutches and bags you can buy whilst still being Eco friendly. You can also view how to work these babies into your existing wardrobe in our previous outfit post. Both bags available online at EKOLUV

ETHICAL CHIC

So it's almost winter time and I'm going through my wardrobe to find pieces to rework my wardrobe so I'm not buying anything new. I found one of our gorgeous EKOLUV vintage dresses, my favourite Zara winter coat and boots I had bought in Rome on my Europe trip last year. Pair this with my Mettle Ceres Clutch and my Joint Bone Ring which is not only Fair Trade but made from recycled lucite and or bombshell brass and I've got a lovely winter outfit that is luxury and Ethical Chic. I couldn't resist to start planning my other winter outfits for work and travel and our Kowtow range is just the perfect collection to wear, it's so soft and comfortable plus with it being Organic and Fair Trade, I just didn't want to take any of it off! I paired the Kowtow clothing with Mettle accessories and a DIY EKOLUV hand made transparent perspex bag also made from recycled materials and voila! I created this post to show how easily you can blend in vintage and ethical fashion pieces into your wardrobe whilst still keeping up with trends and being fashion forward. The transparent clutch or hand bag is on trend at the moment and is kicking up a storm in the fashion world, and what's even better is these bags are eco chic. I will be giving tips on how you can re-work your wardrobe too, declutter, keep onto the exceptional quality items, donate the rest to charity and maintain a healthy and sustainable wardrobe.

A PARISIENNE SUMMER

Paris in the summer, what a beautiful time to be in the city of love and with my love! :) Paris was very memorable I can understand why people fall in love with this city, it has so much to offer from it's rich history, culture and i't's artistic flair. The monuments, the architecture of the buildings, the little cafes along the sidewalk, the old metro, the parks spread throughout, the boutiques, the little boulangeries baking away and the people that hold this very city together and make it come alive. All the little things that make a city unique and different from others. From all the stories read and movies watched about this magical place and the cliche's that follow it, it is still very much everything I imagined it to be...
