Faux Fashion

Socialite, business woman and animal activist Cornelia Guest recently designed a collection of cruelty-free, vegan handbags, made from a beautiful soft faux leather giving people "an intelligent alternative" to real leather. From large woven day bags to simple and elegant clutches there is something for every occasion. I love this classic and fashionable collection, it proves style doesn't have to cost animals lives. I'm looking forward to seeing more from Cornelia Guest!
The bags can be bought at www.bloomingdales.com (which also ships to the UK). Prices range from £100 to £250.

Cruelty Free International

Have you heard about Cruelty Free International's campaign? You can sign up for email updates at http://crueltyfreeinternational.org/mailinglist.  It only takes a few seconds and means you'll hear all the latest news on their campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics worldwide.
Animal testing for cosmetics still happens. Over 80% of the world allows animals to be used in cruel and unnecessary cosmetics tests and these animal tested cosmetics can be purchased in every country across the globe.
Animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats are routinely injected, gassed, force-fed and killed for cosmetics testing worldwide. Cruelty Free International believes this is ethically unacceptable and unnecessary.

A Rose By Any Other Name...

I was kindly invited to the Bodhi Desert Rose Rejuvenating Face Oil bloggers launch where I got to try out the new face oil plus some of the existing products from the eco-luxury skincare brand.
Desert Rose Rejuvinating Face Oil has a unique blend of natural ingredients including Morrocan Argan Oil, Rose Hip Oil and Rosa Damescena. I massaged a couple of drops into my skin after cleansing, my skin felt soft soon after I had applied it and it evened out my skin tone. I applied a small amount of moisturiser before applying my makeup and it didn't leave my face looking shiny as some oils and serums do. This product is best used on normal to dry skin.
The oil comes in a beautiful black glass bottle to help preserve it and is packaged in a cardboard box with a pink ribbon so it would also make a perfect gift.
Plus none of the products or ingredients are tested on animals and they're vegan!

Merry Christmas!

We're only halfway through August but today was the Ben Sherman Christmas press day. It was a little too early to be eating mince pies but it was great to see the new Autumn/Winter 2012 collection and gift ideas. The new range is full of great quality, smart tailoring and classic designs with a modern twist. Accessories include scarves, braces, bow ties and an iPhone case, perfect for stocking fillers.
