The Launch of Ethical Fashion Bloggers!

header The Launch of Ethical Fashion Bloggers!

Unfortunately yesterday I missed out my Tuesday treats post, sorry about that but I do have an excuse. I have been busy working on my latest ickle project.

Today I am launching Ethical Fashion Bloggers. It is a platform for fashion bloggers to become part of a community that cares about the impact of fashion. I welcome you all to join and hope that you will find it useful for networking, making new friends, promoting and growing your blogs and working with ethical brands.

It is not just for those who only blog about ethical fashion. It is for any fashion bloggers with an interest in ethical fashion or concerns about the impact of the fashion industry. Vintage enthusiasts, charity shop addicts, DIYers and upcyclers, we welcome you all. If we all join together perhaps we can help to drive the change that is needed in the fashion industry and have great fun at the same time.

We will be running link exchanges, outfit challenges, DIY round ups, meet ups, clothes swaps and a media alerts service for ethical brands.

If you want to get involved visit Ethical Fashion Bloggers to find out more and join. You can also like us on Facebook. For brands who want to keep up with what is going on at Ethical Fashion Bloggers, please subscribe to our newsletter here.

What do you think? will you be joining Ethical Fashion Bloggers? any feedback or ideas gratefully received.

With warmest wishes

Tuesday Treats – Leather Pencil Skirts

I have noticed plenty of leather skirts on the high street for autumn and winter. I particularly love the pencil skirts as they can be worn with a t shirt for a rock inspired look or a blouse for a more feminine seventies inspired ladylike look.

The longer length means that they are more classy than trashy but I would also wear these skirts with high cut and slightly loose tops tucked in to balance the look out.  They are also great for the evening with a vest top or camisole.

If you fancy treating yourself to a leather skirt, it is well worth considering a second hand or vintage one. Leather is one of the few materials that can actually improve with age, so you can get yourself a beautiful and on trend piece of clothing and also save yourself a few pennies or pounds. Here are some that I have found.penny Tuesday Treats   Leather Pencil Skirts

How would you wear a leather skirt this autumn? they would look great with a blouse from www.style-is.co.uk.
