Pick of the Ethical Fashion Sales

Posted on August 17, 2012 by admin

I have seen so many amazing ethical fashion finds in the sales over the last few weeks, I thought that I would share with you some of my favourites. As I mentioned in my last post, if you have never tried buying ethical or eco fashion before, the sales are a great time to give it a try. I guarantee you will be really surprised by the amazing quality and how different it is from much of the clothing you will find on the high street.

komodo fair trade zoe dress black 1 Pick of the Ethical Fashion Sales

Zoe Fair Trade Cutout Dress by Komodo

If you saw my recent posts about the 6 Items challenge (where I wore only 6 items of clothing for a month) you might recognise this dress as one of the six items that I choose. It has become one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe as it is so comfortable and easy to wear and can be accessorised in so many different ways or worn without accessories. It is now on sale at Fashion Conscience with just a few sizes left. Use code SALE10 to get an extra 10% discount.

Garat T Shirt Dress by Skunkfunk

I am a big fan of neon and this dress would look amazing with any of the brightly coloured beaded sandals or accessories from the amazing www.Aspiga.com. Definitely a look for those who like to stand out from the crowd! this dress is also on sale at Fashion Conscience along with more items from the Skunk Funk brand. Again you can use code SALE10 to get an extra 10% discount.

Orla Kiely Navy Cabins Dress

I love People Tree sales and I love the Orla Kiely collection at People Tree. This dress is one of the items that I have been admiring on the site all spring and summer and it is now reduced by 50%. It looks like a perfect every day dress and a really flattering cut.

Denim Dress by Outsider

This beautiful dress is part of the Eco Age by Livia Firth Collection on Yoox. It is made from organic cotton denim with silk detailing at the neck. A really beautiful wardrobe staple for a sophisticated daytime look .

Bamboo Sunglasses by Kayu

These unusal sunglasses are another item I have been admiring all summer. They are great for a quirky and fun summer time look. They are also from the Eco Age by Livia Firth Collection at Yoox.

Keiko Maxi Dress at Monsoon

This beautiful Kimono style dress is reduced by over 70%. An amazing bargain especially if you have a special event to go to.

As you probably already know, I am a big fan of charity shopping. Oxfam is the best place to charity shop online and has some amazing pieces which can easily be searched by price, brand etc. They currently have a 30% off sale. You can check it out here.

Have you found any ethical fashion bargains in the sales? please share?

Ethical Fashion Sales and Discounts for Summer

Posted on July 3, 2012 by admin

One thing that I often here people say is that they don’t buy ethical fashion because it is too expensive. I always see it as an investment as a beautiful piece of high quality clothing will tend to last for much longer and as the styles are often more individual or classic and less trend led, they don’t really go out of fashion. That said I do often try and shop for ethical fashion in the sales as I like saving myself a bit of cash as much as anyone else. There are some amazing sales on at the moment allowing you to shop a great range of fantastic and affordable ethical fashion for summer. Here are just a few.

A Printastic Monsoon Dress

Posted on May 19, 2012 by admin

Dress – Monsoon
Scarf – Vintage/ second hand
Boots – a few years old
Silver bangles – gifts

For May the outfit challenge on Ethical Fashion Bloggers was to create an outfit that focussed on prints. Of course for me this wasn’t a difficult task at all as my wardrobe is rammed full with colourful printed clothes. I though that now would be the perfect opportunity to show off my new Monsoon Dress, bought a few weeks ago with my birthday money and worn for a night out in Bath on the May Bank holiday weekend, I have been saving the outfit picture ip up especially for this challenge.

The Scarf was from The Black and White shop, a fantastic vintage and second hand treasure trove which I visited when I was researching my recent Vintage and Second Hand Guide to Bath. Not sure if the two prints clash or compliment, either way I love how they look together and the pom poms on the scarf are the perfect finishing touch. Although some may consider this look a little full on, I love it and know I will be wearing it many times this summer.

If you need a new dress for a special occasion, Monsoon have some lovely choices with beautiful prints at great prices. They also have an offer of up to 25% off occasion wear and a fantastic sale on.

With warmest wishes

Birthday Week

Posted on April 29, 2012 by admin

Apart from the fact that it marks me getting another year older, I really love birthdays. I don’t have much time to myself most of the time so on my birthday like to indulge myself. This year I have managed to spread it out over a whole week of doing pretty much exactly what I want. I had some lovely pressies including delicious smelling Lush goodies from my sister, a beautiful mirrored jewellery box and a necklace from my neighbours and a vintage book from my friend but mostly I got money which I have used to treat myself to a few goodies (clothes of course!).

On Monday, I spent a very wet day wandering around the shops and researching my Vintage and Second Hand Guide to Bath, I did also manage to squeeze in some shopping and got this beautiful scarf from the Black and White Shop for just £10. I also got this amazing printed dress from Monsoon and a Monsoon cardigan from the Oxfam Boutique. I can’t wait until the weather warms up so I can wear the dress perhaps with the scarf for a really printastic outfit!

My actual birthday was really all about eating cake. I ordered up this beauty from Patisserie Valerie, it was delicious- sponge, cream, fruit and white chocolate. I did manage to fit in 2 hours of excercise classes which hopefully went some way to offsetting some of those calories.

On Thursday, I had a cup of tea and chat with the lovely Noorin Khamisani of Outsider, a fantastic label that is all about classic, wearable and beautiful clothes (that just happen to be ethical too) . I really love her latest collection which features some very lovely dresses, one of which she happens to be wearing in this photo.

It was yet another horrible and wet day so I resorted to wearing jeans (organic cotton from M&S) and boots (Dream in Green) with my new Antiform top that I got from Mr Style Eyes and the girls. I did give them a little help in deciding what to get me. Well actually I just bought it ,myself from Think Boutique. Antiform is another label which I really love and well worth checking out if you love unusual pieces. They use reclaimed fabrics and mix fashion forward shapes with heritage crafts.

I also got this People Tree top from the Zakee Shariff Collection.

And this dress by Frank and Faith (another amazing and very afforable brand) from Ethical Superstore which I wore out to dinner with my friends on Friday with leggings and necklace by People Tree, swapped denim jacket and shoes by Simple.

I have also ordered myself a few more goodies in the Ethical Superstore 20% off sale and some Melissa shoes (to keep my feet dry) which I will share once they arrive.

So that is it birthday week is over, back to reality, sensible, healthy eating and a complete shopping ban until at least the autumn, I definitely don’t need any new clothes now.

I hope you have had a lovely weekend, despite the rain!

With warmest wishes

Up to 50% Off Monsoon Clothing

Posted on March 22, 2012 by admin

There is a fantastic sale on at Monsoon until 26th March with lots of amazing Monsoon clothing reduced by up to 50%. You might just think of Monsoon as a regular high street shop but actually Monsoon is one of the most ethical retailers on the high street with a strong commitment to ethical and sustainable fashion, not only in its sponsorship of Estethica, the part of London Fashion Week dedicated to ethical fashion but also with its promotion of longlife fashion, support of craft communties, working towards greater use of sustainable fabrics, the clothes for life scheme and the Monsoon Accessorize Trust which helps to improve the lives of disadvantaged women and children in Asia.

I have always loved Monsoon, even before I realised all of this. For me it is about the quality clothes that look modern and stylish but don’t go out of fashion. The bright colours, the beautiful prints and the close attention to detail, something that seems to fairly rare on the high street these days.

Anyway, If you needed something new and haven’t ever bought from Monsoon before, this sale is a great opportunity to give them a go and see how lovely the clothes are. Here are just a few pieces that caught my eye.

Denim Dress

Cross Stitch Dress

Lady Blue Jumpsuit

Leandra Maxi Skirt - reduced to £35

texas top1 Up to 50% Off Monsoon Clothing Texas Top

Fusion Odette Top

I hope that you are having a good week and enjoying the sunshine. I certainly have been. In case you didn’t already know, I am running an Ethical Outfit competition for bloggers with over £200 of ethical fashion to be won. If you would like to enter, you can find more details here. Closing date is 31st March.

Tuesday Treats – Ethical Fashion Bargains in the Sales

Posted on January 10, 2012 by admin

Yay, today I am back to doing Tuesday Treats which I have really missed. It is my opportunity to share with you just some of the lovely and ethical stuff that I have come across over the last week. This week as an extra bonus, it is all also reduced in the sale. I often find some of the best bargains in the sales come if you can manage to hold off for a week or too after Christmas as this is often when the big discounts kick in. So if you really can’t stick to that new year shopping ban at least you can shop so in a relatively guilt free way.

First up, in case you didn’t already know, People Tree have some amazing sales.

I really love this Isabella Maxi dress with hand embroidered flowers which is reduced to just £26.25!

This pretty tea dress from the Orla Kiely, People Tree Collaboration is made from Organic Fairtrade cotton and has a pretty teacup print. It is reduced by 40%.

I also love Monsoon dresses but as they are often a little beyond my budget, the sales is the perfect time to treat myself to something lovely. I have posted about Monsoon’s ethics before, they are one of the most ethical high street retailer with a big commitment to sustainability and ethics. You can read more here.

bala wood emb Tuesday Treats Ethical Fashion Bargains in the Sales

This Bala Wood Emb dress is hand embroidered and made from organic cotton. It is reduced by 70%.

I love the print on this Savannah Sleeveless top. It is reduced to £9!

tatiana blouse Tuesday Treats Ethical Fashion Bargains in the Sales

This pretty Tatiana blouse reminds me of Erdem.

I wear leggings all the time in the winter so am always on the look out for new ones.

These Striped leggings by Fair and True are reduced to £24.50 at Fashion Conscience.

These Melissa Vivienne Westwood booties are available in black, red or cream and reduced to a bargainous £72 in the Fashion Conscious sale. Fantastic for the rain.

Have you found any amazing ethical fashion bargains in the sales?
