Alchemist

MILITARY JACKET BY RIALTO JEAN PROJECT
VEST TRENCH COAT BY COSSAC
JACKET BY MOVINUN
BLAZER JACQUARD BY ALCHEMIST FASHION

RIALTO JEAN PROJECT $ 425

This military jacket reminds me of my own original military jacket I stole from my mum who stole it from my grandfather who actually worked at the Austrian military. Mine is vintage from the 60s and the Rialto Jean Project jacket is American made vintage and hand painted to give it that edgy touch. Handcrafted in an art studio at South Street Seaport in NYC. “Rialto Jean Project benefits children through art, with proceeds going to support innovative art therapy programs at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and New York – Presbyterian Hospital.”
This jacket is making me think about painting my own jacket. What do you guys think? Should I do that DIY?

COSSAC £160.00

A trench coat is definitely a must in every closet. This vest trench without sleeves is a classic with a twist. It adds layers to a fall outfit and makes basic outfits look interesting. I picture this with jeans, heeled boots and a basic t-shirt. Made from 100% tencel and ethically manufactured in Poland.

MOVINUN 228,00 €

I see this jean fabric coat giving warmth and edge to a girly mini dress in Fall. It says “Our voices speak the future’s path” on the back which is a hidden fair fashion message. Your purchasing choices do determine how our world looks in the future. I love this thoughtful touch. The coat is made ethically by people with disabilities from 100% organic cotton.

ALCHEMIST €249.00

This Blazer combines two trends of this fall: blazers and metallics. Apart from that blazers can make a basic outfit look chic. This one could dress up a basic jeans and t-shirt outfit, make your dress or jumpsuit for the bar or night out outfit a little more warm and your office look more fashionable. Ethically made in Macedonia – Alchemist is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation – and shipped in biodegradable packaging.

HERBIVORE for life & BIRTHDAY GIRL!

October 14, 2017

Shirt by: Boli and Chip
Jeans by: Armed Angels
Boots by: No Animal Brand
Kimono by: Under Protection

Remember when I talked about that I’m seriously lacking basics? Well, here’s a classic “jeans and t-shirt” outfit that has that little something. The star of the show is the Herbivore t-shirt. It fits nicely and has that vegan message in an elegant design.

HERBIVORE SHIRT
The shirt is made from 100% organic cotton and ethically and eco-consciously made just like all of Boli and Chip’s products. Boli and Chip is a spanish brand, created by a vegan mom that offer shirts, sweatshirts, baby clothes, kids clothes and bags, all with a vegan message, simple and minimalistic. I love their prints and elegant yet minimalistic designs and of course, their philosophy! I could also see this shirt dressed up a bit with a blazer or making it more girly with a skirt instead of jeans.

JEANS 99€
The Armed Angels jeans are my number one go-to jeans. They are tight, skinny fit, in a classic colour and a little high waisted. If you are used to High Street jeans, be aware though: these jeans don’t have that high percentage of elastane that makes them super stretchy. So when they come straight from the washing, they are a little bit difficult to put on.

OVERKNEE BOOTS (currently 80€)
You won’t believe these are vegan and made in Spain!
Founded by a model and a stylist, the styles of No Animal brand are contemporary and fashion forward. They’ve received a Vegan Fashion Award by PETA for their design, vegan philosophy and use of high quality materials including anti-bacterial materials.

KIMONO 80€ (on sale)
I’ve been wearing this kimono a lot. At home as lounge wear, when I want to add a little warmth to an outfit or an extra layer an texture. It has tassels all over and a ties in the waist. Under Protection is a Danish brand that manufactures underwear, loungewear, swimwear and more ethically using sustainable fabrics.

Life Update: Today’s my 21st birthday but you won’t be seeing me in London’s vegan restaurants and rooftop bars tonight. I’m at a field trip in the Lake District with uni until Tuesday. I do want to celebrate my 21 years on earth though – next weekend. So be excited for birthday outfits on Instagram next week! 😊

SWEATER WEATHER

October 11, 2017

Primness

Armed Angels

Lanius

SWEATER IN BLACK BY LANIUS
COCO JUMPER IN PECAN BY PRIMNESS
ISADORA SWEATER IN BLACK BY ARMED ANGELS

LANIUS €79.90

The sweater I chose is laid back and casual. It’s a bit cropped and hooded and available in black and blush pink (the “MADE FAIR” wording is a t-shirt underneath). I’d wear this to the gym or balance out the casualness by wearing it athleisure style with a tight high waisted skirt and sneakers or heels.

It’s made from GOTS certified organic cotton and is ethically manufactured.

PRIMNESS $185.00

This sweater gives me serious Yeezy vibes but with a girly colour choice. I’d wear this one with jeans, a choker and sneakers or flats for a casual day and maybe add a jacket if I’d leave the flat hehe

To spice it up I’d wear heeled overknee boots over the jeans. The sweater is available in 3 other colours is made from 100% organic cotton.

ARMED ANGELS €59.90

A classic turtleneck has to be in a list of sweaters and pullovers. It’s timeless. A turtleneck looks good on anyone. It’s a no brainer. Jeans or black pants and flats, heels or boots will look great with the black turtleneck. Add statement earrings for a little extra touch. The price of this pullover is not scary at all and I think it’s a good first piece of fair fashion in your closet. Made from 100% cotton, part of the Fair Wear Foundation and using Fairtrade materials, Armed Angels is one of my favourite earth and people saving labels.

Pair this red top with jeans and flats or sneakers for warmer days or change the flats for boots and add a jacket for cooler days and nights. “For over 25 years, People Tree has partnered with Fair Trade producers, garment workers, artisans and farmers in the developing world to produce ethical and eco fashion collections.”

NOUMENON €128.00

This top can be worn with a cute lace bralette underneath and some high waisted pants along with a vegan leather jacket and heels and if you want to add a little extra than wear a hat with it. “Every fabric and garment finds its origin in Europe, to reduce as much CO2 as possible. Furthermore the ink used for the prints are environmentally friendly. Also, the brandlabels are made from recycled cotton and the tags are made of recycled paper.”

JAN’N JUNE €45.00

This one gives me real Jacky O vibes. A real classic. Put on some black pants, this top, sunglasses, a big structured purse and some slides or loafers and you’ll look elegant af. “The Fair Fashion startup JAN ‘N JUNE was founded by Anna and Jula in Hamburg in 2014. The idea was to create a sustainable, affordable, fair and High Fashion Brand.”

ESSENTIALS FOR ZULA €29.16

I love basics with a twist. With this top the little extra is the back. Essentials for Zula also offer bralettes with amazing back details that go perfectly with tops like this one. “All of our garments are made in-house to ensure that all pieces are crafted with the highest integrity and honesty. The garments are ethically produced and locally sourced in Thailand.”

KOMODO £45.00

A black classic turtleneck. Timeless and elegant for fall and Winter and definitely a must. I’m really thinking of getting this one since I moved to London and am not able to steal my mum’s turtle neck anymore. “Komodo has been a pioneer brand, promoting the use and development of Organic Cotton, Hemp, Bamboo, Tencel and other natural fibres since the early 90s. Equally important was the welfare of the suppliers and people who work in the small factory units that make our clothes.”

GROCERIES APPAREL $48.00

Sticking to the basics. That white slightly cropped cami can be worn under see-through tops like the Noumenon one above or with a cardigan, chunky scarf and thick pants to balance out the winter-bulkiness. “We manufacture in our own Los Angeles, CA factory to ensure our standards are fully executed. Vertically-integrated, local, and traceable production maximizes quality, efficiency, and employee pay, and minimizes redundancy, waste and our carbon footprint.”

PEOPLE TREE £75.00

There are a million ways you can wear a blouse. A blouse is your friend, people. This striped one would look so good with a blazer or a coat, jeans, sunglasses and heeled boots. Plus, not just a blouse is a must in every closet but also a piece by People Tree.

What’s your favourite? Let me know what you think of these tops!

Cossac

Movinum

Thoreau

JUNIPER TOP FLAME BY THOREAU

HERBAL TANK BY GROCERIES APPAREL

BASIC LONG SLEEVE TEE BY COSSAC

ORGANIC BLOUSE BY MOVINUN

MARAIS TOP BY THOREAU

MIA TOP MARIGOLD DAISY BY THOREAU

THOREAU £139.00

Made from reclaimed crepe and manufactured in the UK this top is the reason why I love creating these fashion picks. The design is so chic and not at all what everyone expects from ethical and sustainable fashion. The label is using sustainable practices like minimal water and energy usage leaving a light carbon footprint.

GROCERIES APPAREL $80.00

Groceries Apparel manufacture basics made in LA from recycled cotton, recycled plastic, linen, hemp, eucalyptus and organic cotton. Their off-the-shoulder top is can be casually worn with boyfriend jeans and sneakers or dressed up with a statement necklace, heels and black pants to dinner and bar hopping.

COSSAC £35.00

Another basic, another million ways to wear this top. Made from ethically sourced cotton in Europe making sure that the workers are working under fair conditions. The best part? For just £35 you can have a piece of clothing in your closet that is better quality, does not contribute to slave labour and is saving the environment! Every time you’ll wear this, you’ll feel like you do something to change the world to the better!

MOVINUN 94,00 €

A white blouse with a twist. The sleeves are cropped which makes the blouse less stiff looking, the neckline is not daring which makes it work appropriate and on the sides there are decorative bows which I love about this blouse! Made from GOTS certified organic cotton, this blouse is sustainable, good for the planet and made under fair working conditions.

THOREAU £119.00 & £149.00

Another white blouse, completely different design. The fabric of this top is a recycled cotton and linen mix which makes the blouse more loose and flowy, rather than structured. The sleeves are long with a super cute ruffle design that screams ‘Livia’. The collar and neckline is work appropriate yet relaxed. I’m in love with this piece!

The last top I just had to include is another Thoreau blouse. Made from reclaimed crepe, manufactured in the UK and made with a light carbon footprint I fell in love with it immediately. The design is so so beautiful, I’m speechless!

HEDI BASIC T SHIRT BY ARMED ANGELS
DAILY DAISY BY VATTER
OTTO IN WHITE BY JAN’N JUNE
SEVENTH RAY TOP BY GROCERIES APPAREL
T SHIRT IN WHITE BY CLOTH AND CO
WHITE FEMALE TEE BY ORGANIC BASICS

Now, I know that ethical fashion pieces can be a little expensive sometimes compared to fast fashion. I do have to acknowledge that fast fashion won’t last as long as ethical fashion pieces because the quality of sustainable fair fashion is better most times. Therefore, you can buy less and spend more money and you’ll probably even save money in the long run.
However, I do understand that not everyone has e.g. €150 in their bank account for a new dress. I want to show people though that even if your closet is not filled with 100% fair fashion clothing, everyone can at least own 1 item that is supporting ethical fashion companies. A basic t-shirt is a good start! These shirts won’t leave you broke at the end of the month.

ARMED ANGELS €24.90

Made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, ethically produced in Portugal, Fair Wear Foundation

VATTER 39,00 €

Made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, made in GOTS certified factories in Greece and Turkey, comes in 100% recycled packaging, using DHL GoGreen

Thoreau

THANDA ROMPER BY GNANA STUDIO
DREW ABSTARCT JUMPSUIT BY PEOPLE TREE
JUMPSUIT BY LANIUS
WRAP JUMPSUIT BY COSSAC
SUNSET JUMPSUIT BY THOREAU

GNANA €117.67 (on sale)

Owning two pieces by Gnana Studio already, I know the great quality of their clothing. This jumpsuit is made from organic cotton. I imagine this one-piece with a cool jacket and heels, ready for a night out at the bar. Gnana Studio only uses cruetly free, natural fabrics that are made into unique clothing pieces by hand in the founder Floriana’s atelier. The fabric wastes are send to a recycling company to be recylced.

PEOPLE TREE £109.00

This one is very special. The design is definitely unique and for those green Fashionistas out there. Put it on with a heels for the office and add a pair of statement earrings and a jacket for a night out. “How it’s made: Made by Creative Handicrafts, a social enterprise working to empower disadvantaged women of the slum communities of Mumbai, India. Tailors at Creative Handicrafts produce a gorgeous range of cotton garments for People Tree.”

LANIUS €219,90

The black Lanius romper has a sexy cutout detail in the back making it look very young and playful. It’s definitely very versatile: pair it with a vegan leather jacket and boots for a cool rocker chic look; a blazer, tights and flats for work & overknee boots and statement earrings for the bar or club. “LANIUS is GOTS-certified and uses materials that are controlled by independent institutes such as CERS and Control Union.”

COSSAC £140.00

The neckline of this jumpsuit is so sexy. The piece is available in black (made from tencel) and taupe (made from modal) and is perfectly suitable for an event and nightouts! “Sustainably designed and ethically produced, each quality garment is intended to be transeasonal, with the aim of minimising wastefulness and maximising usefulness.”

THOREAU £179.00

There’s a cutout in the back of this Thoreau jumpsuit while the neckline is more covering. This piece looks very timeless and elegant and can be dressed up with unique jewelry and heels and even worn to work or to class when paired with sneakers. Thoreau is a cruelty free label that also produces ethically and sustainably.

DRESS(ES) TO IMPRESS

September 14, 2017

People Tree

Jan’n June

Vetta

Movinum

ALONA DRESS IN NAVY BLUE BY PEOPLE TREE

ZOE VELVET PANTHER DRESS IN GREY BY JAN’N JUNE

BELL SLEEVE DRESS BY VETTA

SWING DRESS BY VETTA

DRESS BY MOVINUN

PEOPLE TREE

This navy coloured long sleeve dress makes organic cotton look so good! I imagine this with a long coat and heeled boots along with a big giant scarf in winter or simply with sneakers and a jacket for fall. People Tree is the mother of all fair fashion brands and it is also featured in THE fair fashion documentary ‘True Cost’.

JAN’N JUNE

Do you know that t-shirt under dress trend? Well, this is the dress for you if you love that look but don’t like to exploit Bangladeshi factory workers for it. The dress is made from organic cotton and manufactured in Poland. Jan’n June wants to keep toxicity in their fabrics low and transparency high.

VETTA

Dresses are for lazy days: Throw it on and you have an outfit. This is definitely a no-brainer-dress. It’s not tight on your stomach so you won’t be able to see that vegan food belly, it has a lot going on already so you won’t need to put on a lot of other clothes or accessories and it looks super comfortable. The coolest thing about this dress is that the belt can be worn as a choker scarf as well! I see this one with a jacket, casual boots and the belt wrapped around the neck as a choker. “The dress is made of rayon – a natural, biodegradable fiber, which is important because fossil-fuel based synthetics like polyester can take hundreds of years to decompose. The water used to process the fibers is recycled, and a sustainable treatment is used for discarded waste, to reduce any environmental impact.”

Vetta is about making the most out of your closet and keeping the number of pieces you own to a minimum. The black swing dress can be worn like in the photo or with a belt or even with the back side (which is full of cute buttons) as the front side.

MOVINUN

This dress makes your office outfit look way cooler. A pair of tights, heels, and a white blouse underneath for the day and without the blouse and wild hair for the night! No one will believe your dress is made from organic cotton and came in a recycled paper package! Movinun is all about fair, ethical and zero waste productions and organic materials.

White matching set in Singapore

September 8, 2017

Top & Skirt by Aware

Sandals by Nae

Sunglasses by Ace and Tate

Bag is thrifted

Location

Singapore was amazing! The vegan food, the modern architecture, the parks and overall green vibe in the city had me really impressed! I’ve been eating so much delicious vegan meals in the city! Burgers, acai bowls, fresh smoothies, dumplings, cake and more (for vegan food porn pics check out my Instagram)! The weather was perfect too.

Outfit

I absolutely love this set! It’s summary, feminine and fun. The top and the wrap skirt are from Aware. A Spanish label that manufacture in Barcelona. The wrap skirt is so amazing because you can make it tighter or wider (after having that food baby) whatever your body needs at the moment. The top is made from a thin almost lace-like material with flowers all over it. At the back it has two thin strings to tie it.

The sandals are by Nae, a vegan and shoe ethical company. They are an absolute must in every closet since they match so many outfits! I’ve been wearing them almost every day since I got them!

The sunglasses are my favourite pair I own. Because of their clear frame and dark glasses, they match every outfit, lip stick or make up look. Plus, they have a classic (never-going-out-of-style) design.

FALL PICKS

Noumenon

PANTS STRAIGHT NEOPRENE IN BLACK BY Jan’n June

LAILA ROLL NECK TOP IN BLACK BY People Tree

MINI TOTE SHOULDER BAG IN OLIVE BY Alexandra K

JULIANNE FRILL TOP IN BLACK BY People Tree

MEDINE SWEATER IN BLACK BY Armed Angels

BENETE JUMPSUIT BY People Tree

LÉA BRALETTE BY Noumenon

Now, there are some things in the vegan & fair fashion world I’m completely obsessed about that I couldn’t dare to purchase. An Alexandra K bag is one of them. This green-coloured mini tote bag is literally ‘Fall fashion goals’. It’s made ethically from vegan leather in Poland and the brand try to incorporate organic and recycled materials, as well as support local companies.

A pair of non-jeans black pants is a must in every closet. The slit in this pair is unique and makes them more interesting. The pants are ethically made from recycled material by the sustainable label Jan’n June.

I have a confession to make – a fashion confession that is: I never buy basics. I get so distracted by finding extraordinary fair fashion pieces that I forget about the foundation of the closet: the basics. This black turtleneck is an absolute classic. I always used to steal my mom’s but I think it’s time to get my own Audrey-Hepburn-turtleneck. It’s made from organic cotton (ethically, of course) and I’d wear it with the black pants and some statement boots (I’ve done a blog post about this year’s best vegan boots).

The striped People Tree top is a little more risky but could look cute with a (vegan) leather jacket and black pants as well as boots or heels or even classy flats for those warmer Fall days. People Tree is one of the most well-known fair fashion labels out there. It is ethical and sustainable using a lot of organic fabrics. The design is more classy and work-appropriate.

Another staple that I need to get my hands on: a nice black sweater. This one by Armed Angels is GOTS certified and made from organic cotton.

Now back to the fun stuff. This bordeaux jumpsuit by Armed Angels is for those “don’t know what to wear”-days. Throw it on with a hat, gloves and boots and you’re perfectly dressed.

This crop top from Noumenon would look so cute with the grey pair of boots I included in my Fall shoe list. Noumenon is a Dutch label that produces only vegan, sustainable and ethical clothes (and some beauty products).

MARION HEELED BOOT BY Nae Vegan Shoes

CARINA MARRÓN BY Mireia Playa

BURGUNDY VINNIE SHOES BY beyond skin

NIGHTFALL BOOTS IN BLACK by Blanch

ELECTRA GREY BOOT BY Collection and Co

The beginning of September means that Fall is just around the corner. But stay calm, I know we all want sunshine and beaches all year round, however those shoes will make you crave brown leaves and pumpkin-spice lattes.

I imagine these orange boots with a pair of black pants and a black turtleneck in Fall and Winter to make a classic outfit pop! Collection and Co is an all vegan PETA-approved shoe brand that produces ethically in Greece and Portugal.

The black heeled boots are a staple in every Fall and Winter closet. They match every every outfit will look stylish for a long time! Nae is a Portuguese footwear brand with a vegan philosophy and concerned with environmental sustainability: it works with alternative materials to leather such as cork, ecological microfibers, pineapple leaves and PET – recycled plastic bottles.

The Mireia Playa boots are another variation of the heeled boot. The design, colour and material make them classy yet extraordinary! It’s a vegan brand that manufactures ethically in Spain. The unique design of Mireia Playa’s shoes is a real eye-catcher.

The burgundy coloured shoes are for those busy running-through-the-city-days. Looking chic while still being comfortable. Beyond Skin is another all vegan shoe brand that manufactures ethically in Spain. It has been awarded by the Observer and is PETA-approved as well.

I’ve seen the style of the buckled black boots quite often on Instagram and on several Fashion bloggers. Their ‘Wild West’ kind of feel make me want to put on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt and walk through the streets of Shoreditch. I already own a pair of By Blanch shoes and love the quality and comfort! They produce vegan and ethically in Spain.

The last pair of shoes of this blog post is another pair by Collection and Co. They are a grey pair of pointed-toe heeled boots that are a nice change to a black pair of boots everyone is wearing during those colder months.

BRAINS ARE THE NEW TITS

August 20, 2017

SHIRT BY No Basics

Some of you may know that I’m not a professional Netflixer (I only wish!). I’m actually a full-time Environmental Science student in London. I’m also not native in English (y’all probably figured that out, ha!). Therefore, I do find uni quite challenging. Sometimes I even think I need more than one brain to eventually get my Bachelor’s degree.

Fortunately, there’s ‘No basics’. Even though the brains on this t-shirt won’t actually make you more intelligent (we can try though, right?), it does make you look very smart. I’ve already gotten so many compliments on it. Everything about this shirt is just right. It’s funny, clever, organic and ethically-made.

I paired it with a body con nude skirt and knotted the shirt to make it cropped or tucked it into the skirt on one side. I either wore this combo with white sneakers or my Nae sandals.

The t-shirt is made from 100% organic, GM-free cotton in a wind-powered factory and it’s low carbon. And if you like simple white t-shirts with clever prints, just check out No basics apparel.

VEGAN BLING FOR YOUR FEET

August 13, 2017

cream burlap w/silver glitter & crystals by JBEEBESHOES

Finding vegan AND ethically made shoes can be tough. Finding cute ones and maybe even trendy ones is even harder. But that’s why I’m here. I’ve got you covered, babes 😉
No girl out there HAS to wear dead animal skin with blood from poor mistreated workers from Bangladesh on them on their feet.

When I came across the Instagram of Jbeebe shoes I instantly noticed how unique these vegan shoes are. They have that stylish slides-design that is huge right now. Plus, an elastic band in the back for extra comfort. My highlight:

The glitter and rhinestones. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, right? The crystals make the burlap material they’re made of look so ‘summer in Mykonos’. And for all the rhinestone-lovers out there: Jbeebe shoes recently released a new design with even more crystals on the slides! I AM IN LOVE.

Jessica Beebe manufactures the shoes of her label Jbeebe shoes by hand. She even makes you your own custom-made pair of shoes if you contact her. And is there anything more chic than custom-made, vegan, bling shoes?

Vic Sunglasses in Smoke by ACE AND TATE

BLUE BIKINI BY THE LAKE

August 3, 2017

BAMBOO COLLECTION TOP & BOTTOMS BY Bare Beach

Did you know that more than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every year? Do you know what happens with the plastic in our oceans? Fish eat it (fish that you might eat for dinner!), it kills sea animals and it makes your beach vacay look not so good. So what should we do with all that plastic if not dump into the sea? How about making super cute swimwear out of it!

That’s what Bare Beach does. They recycle plastic and manufacture ethical bikinis out of the created fabric. The produce every bikini in North America. That’s why Bare Beach is not just an ethical company but also a sustainable one. They also use EcoEnclose packaging produced from 100% recycled content and stand up for a planet with less waste!

I’ve certainly enjoyed my day at the lake in my recycled bikini. Laying in the sun feels so much better with a good conscience.

BLACK SWIMSUIT IN BALI

August 1, 2017

BLACK HALTERNECK SWIMSUIT BY RubyMoon

If you buy swimwear from your high street fashion brand, you are contributing to unethical working conditions: unfair wages, unethical working hours, unsafe factories.

Not cool.

Better? RubyMoon Swimwear for example.

RubyMoon manufactures ethically using sustainable materials and helps women set up and grow businesses across the globe. 100% of the net profits generated by RubyMoon are lent out as small loans, to empower women entrepreneurs in eleven nations. In addition, RubyMoon chooses sustainable materials – ECONYL® nylon yarn from used fishing nets and other waste material is used in our quality swimwear fabrics. Unlike others, RubyMoon doesn’t use petroleum to make swimwear.

This swimsuit is very classy and can even be worn as a top like I did with some Armed Angels jeans shorts.

WHITE BLOUSE AND SKIRT IN HUA HIN

July 30, 2017

WHITE ‘HUA’ BLOUSE BY Gnana Studio

WHITE ‘FALDA MANGANO’ SKIRT BY Aware

SUNGLASSES BY Ace and Tate

SANDALS BY Scotti

Letting workers risk their health and life for your summer clothes is a no no. Plus, the quality of fast fashion clothes is terrible.

The long sleeve blouse by Gnana Studio protects you from mosquito bites and chilly summer nights. Gnana Studio only uses cruelty free (vegan) fabrics and no plastic materials which makes them a sustainable company. Plus, the label is sweatshop free, respecting human rights.

The mini skirt by Aware is one of my summer favourites. It fits perfectly in the waist since you can wrap it and tie it yourself. It can be purchased together with a matching top which not only makes creating an outfit easier but also enables you to mix and match. Aware is a Spanish label producing in Barcelona.

STUDDED VEGAN SANDALS

July 29, 2017

PEPPERMINT SANDALS IN CAMEL By Blanch

BLOUSE BY Hessnatur

JEANS SHORTS BY Armed Angels

Did you know that every year, the global leather industry slaughters more than a billion animals? Did you know that most leather comes from China and along with cattle, other animals—including sheep, dogs, and cats—are killed for their skin?

There are so many unfair actions taken in the leather industry. Plus, once the animal’s skin was ripped off the cow or cat, it is manufactured by modern day slaves under as unethical conditions as the animal was treated.
Just for a pair of cute sandals? I’d rather go barefoot.

Or better: wear those ethically manufactured, vegan sandals. The materials are from Europe and the sandals are made in Spain. They are breathable, eco-friendly (Ecolabel certified) and in contrast to leather, not produced with toxic chemicals that end up in the groundwater, polluting our planet.

They are super comfortable, look amazing and match so many different outfits!

The blouse is perfect for every season and it’s even work appropriate – dress it up or down. Hessnatur is a label that produces sustainable, organic and fair clothing. BUT: Even though it’s made out of cotton, I found out that it says on the website that it contains materials (I’m guessing the buttons) from animals which makes it NOT VEGAN.

The Armed Angels jeans shorts have been a staple this summer. They are high waisted and even though they look horrific on the Armed Angels website, they fit amazingly. Armed Angels is a fair and sustainable company.

Vegan food in Ubud at the Elephant restaurant

July 27, 2017

June and July have been all about traveling. Max and I have been to Thailand, Singapore and Bali. After 2 weeks in Bali, I can say that the island is hands down, vegan heaven.

One of my highlights in Ubud:

The elephant restaurant. The beautiful restaurant in Ubud with an amazing view offers healthy dishes with lots of vegan options. Additionally, it is making an effort to be more sustainable which I absolutely love! The restaurant is trying to be as much ‘zero waste‘ as possible: plastic is avoided at all times, organic waste gets fed to the pigs, reusables gets reused. Lots of ingredients they use are local and organic. They even filter their own rainwater to conserve water. In short, a sustainable restaurant heaven.

When it comes to the food, let me tell you, it was delicious. We’ve had the rice paper rolls, garlic bread, steamed greens, coconut noodle soup, vegan spaghetti bolognaise and the potatoes along with a coconut and the green juice. As a dessert we’ve shared the mango sticky rice and I can tell you, I’ve never been so full in my life.

The day before we’ve been to their sister restaurant in Canggu, the Green Ginger noodle house which offers similar dishes in a more causal and smaller venue. The food was incredible as well and a must when you’re in the Canggu area!

Simply look at the photos I’ve taken of the venue and the vegan food and I’m sure the elephant restaurant will be a must at your next Bali trip.

Vegan & organic restaurant & shop in Vienna at ELMIRA

July 24, 2017

If you follow me on my Instagram, you know that I’m spending the summer in Vienna (after my 1 month travels around Asia) which I’m very happy about since Vienna is a great city if you’re vegan. The city offers you lots of vegan shops and restaurants and there are always new vegan business opening up.

Therefore, I was very excited to see that there was a new organic shop & lunch place near my best friend Sarah’s place.

Elmira sells organic, fairtrade and vegan food such as nuts, lentils, rice, coconut oil, protein powder and more and offers organic, vegan and even raw dishes and drinks. The exciting part about the shop is that they have huge variety of bulk foods that you can fill up in your own containers or in the jars or bags they provide you. Plus, the bulk food, jusst like everything Elmira offers, is very affordable!

When it comes to the fresh vegan snacks and lunches they create, I’ve tried the quinoa salad, the lentil apple salad and the bagel, along with a pomegranate lemonade and a turmeric lemonade and everything was not only healthy but delicious. One of my highlights was their vegan homemade ice cream which they sell for only 2€! You can choose between a vanilla or chocolate ice cream base that is made out of rice milk. Then you can choose your ingredients: berries, coconut, fruit or a variety of nuts, whatever you like. The Elmira employee will then put the desired ingredient with the ice cream base into their ice cream machine that they’ve imported from the USA and mix your fresh ice cream. I was stunned. Sarah and I decided to go for a vanilla, berry, pistachio mixture and it tasted incredible!

There’s so much more I could tell you about this amazing place. For example that Elmira sells homemade coconut oil, nut milks and homemade raw sweets, tries to get as much of their ingredients and products from local farmers as possible or that they also do diet and exercise consultancies. But just go to their website or Facebook page and read for yourself. The owner of the family business Elmira is a very caring and sweet woman who really tries to offer you only the best of the best.

I’m amazed by the shop and will definitely come back many times and hope you’ll give it a try too!

LITTLE BLACK BATHING SUIT

July 15, 2017

BLACK ‘JUDITH’ SWIMSUIT BY Shetoldme:

The swimwear industry is just like the fashion industry: full of unfair labour, environmentally damaging production practices and sometimes even animal cruelty. Additionally, the swimwear ads show extremely photoshopped and unrealistic female bodies that don’t support body positivity at all.

Shetoldme promotes their swimwear according to feminist principles, using realistically looking and diverse models for their advertising. They are also cruelty free and sweatshop free! Their designs are amazing too.

The black swimsuit ‘Judith’ fits perfectly and has that cheeky coverage I love! I personally recommend everyone who wants that staple black bathing suit, to go for this fair fashion piece.

MY FAVOURITE VEGAN SANDALS THIS SUMMER

July 10, 2017

IRENE BROWN SANDALS BY Nae

GLITTER SANDALS BY Scotti

If you follow me on my Instagram, you know that I’ve been traveling a lot this summer. To my trips to Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia I’ve only packed 4 pairs of shoes: trainers, high heels and 2 pairs of sandals. On my travels I’ve been walking a lot in those sandals and both shoes look brand new! Because of their minimalistic design they are quite versatile too. While the glitter sandals can be worn to the beach and at night outs, the brown/ nude sandals are ideal for the city and dinners. They are simple yet chic and most important of all: vegan and ethically produced.

The brown sandals by Nae are made using a CO2 free manufacturing system in Portugal from microfibre. The glitter ‘Riva’ sandals by Scotti are also made zero CO2 emission production processes in Italy from a new microfibre that is made from natural renewable sources (vegetable seeds!). Scotti is also Peta Vegan approved.

LADY IN RED (BIKINI) + DISCOUNT CODE!

June 29, 2017

RED HAZEL TOP & BOTTOMS BY Armeria

First of all, the quality of this bikini is amazing! This swimsuit is so well made you will forget your fast fashion H&M bathing suits that contribute to unfair wages and even child labour, in seconds. The fabric feels incredible and the designs of Armeria are unique and super sexy. Armeria manufactures their swimwear ethically in Bali, contributing to the fair fashion movement, and hand paints their swimwear prints in the UK.

I’m definitely excited for future swimwear of Armeria and since this brand is so awesome, they even gave me a discount code to offer you guys!

Just use the discount code livia15swim at the checkout to get 15% off your order!

VEGAN SHIRT IN HUA HIN

June 24, 2017

‘VEGAN No35’ SHIRT BY green because I can

JEANS SHORT BY Armed Angels

SUNGLASSES BY Ace and Tate

If you follow me on my Instagram, you know that I’ve been traveling around Asia, including Thailand. When I’ve been to the Sunday market in Bangkok I’ve decided to look at the pet shops there. It was one of the most horrible experiences I’ve made when it comes to animals. It made it even more clear that Asia is lacking in animal rights.

One more reason to spread the vegan message by wearing a sustainable and fair fashion t-shirt! ‘Green because I can‘ is a German label that produce ethically using vegan and sustainable certified organic materials. Their shirts are a staple in every closet. Their fabrics are super soft and the design is simple yet chic. I wore my ‘VEGAN’ shirt on my travels as a sleeping shirt, sports wear, airplane outfit and of course as a daytime outfit paired with Armed Angels jeans shorts and Ace and Tate sunglasses.

FAIR FASHION SWIMWEAR FOR SUMMER

June 21, 2017

MEL ONEPIECE BY Armeria £80

FRANESS ONEPIECE BY Essentials for Zula €58

HACIENDA BIKINI TOP & MANDALAY BOTTOMS IN CHERRY BY Reformation $78 & $78

PANAMA TOP & BOTTOMS BY Pura CHF 95 & CHF 95

KNOTTY SWIMSUIT IN BW BY Souldaze €120

First, the bad news: just like underwear, swimwear is also made in sweatshops in most cases – just like other clothing pieces. Meaning that cute bikinis are made by underpaid workers under terrible conditions. The worst thing that can happen to the workers in those factories? -DEATH. During the factory collapse in Bangladesh in 2013 more than one thousand workers died. Who wants blood on their swimsuits? Not me.

Now the good news: there are a lot of brands nowadays that either focus on sustainable and ethical manufacturing or are small, local companies that produce the bathing suits by hand in their little studios which is totally ethical and sweatshop free too!

The first bathing suit is made ethically in Bali and hand painted in the UK. I personally own a bikini from Armeria and have to say that it’s one of the best qualities I’ve ever seen in a swimsuit! The designs are super nice too! I wish I could have every single one of them 😉

A black swimsuit is a must in every closet. The one piece by Essentials for Zula has a nice strap design in the back and is ethically made in Thailand. Reformation is one of my favourite fair fashion brands. Now the’ve started their own swimwear line! The red two piece set is made ethically and sustainably in the USA. While manufacturing this garment the brand is reducing water, carbon dioxide and waste. The bikini by Pura reminds me of something Alexis Ren would wear. It has a strap detail in the back and cheeky bottoms. Pura makes their swimwear by hand in Switzerland using European fabrics. The swimsuit by Souldaze is reversible and made ethically in Rome out of recycled fabrics. It has a cheeky design in the back.

WHITE RUFFLE DRESS IN HUA HIN

June 21, 2017

WHITE ‘PAMAIKAI’ DRESS BY Gnana Studio

SUNGLASSES BY Ace and Tate

Off the shoulder dresses and tops are huge right now and I love that style too. However, contributing to the unethical and unsustainable fast fashion industry which is one of the top polluting industries of the world, just to own a trendy dress, should not be an option.

This dress by Gnana Studio is ideal for the summer. It’s lightweight and perfect to wear over your bathing suit. It has adjustable sleeves and an adjustable cleavage – wear it loose or tight, off the shoulders or covering your shoulders.

Gnana Studio only uses cruelty free (vegan) fabrics but no plastic materials which makes them a sustainable company. Plus, contrary to companies that offer the latest trend as well like H&M or Zara, the label is sweatshop free, respecting human rights.

4 JUMPSUITS FOR THE SUMMER

June 17, 2017

OFF SHOULDER PLAYSUIT BY Noumenon

JUMPSUIT BETTIE IN CHERRY BY Reformation

KAVALA JUMPER BY Lovjoi

JUMPSUIT UMA 2.0 BY Hati Hati

The playsuit (€165) by Noumenon has that very trendy off-shoulder design and is made out of linen. Noumenon is a vegan, GOTS certified (organic) company. I love the colour of the Reformation jumpsuit ($178) which is also made out of linen. The piece saved 13 lbs of carbon, 885 gallons of water and 1 pound of waste (compared to the industry standard) according to Reformation’s website. Reformation produces their garments ethically in the United States using eco-friendly practices: their energy supply is from wind-power, they recycle and compost waste, they work with local and sustainable suppliers and much more. Plus, Reformation is a Certified Benefit Corporations (B Corps) which is a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. The white jumpsuit (€150) is also available in an army green colour and is ethically and ecologically manufactured in Germany. The Hati Hati jumpsuit (€160) is a wardrobe staple. It can be worn day and night and I can even see it worn in Spring and Fall. Hati Hati manufactures sustainably and ethically using less chemically treated fabrics.

FAVOURITE TOPS FOR THE SUMMER

VOLANT SHIRT IN WHITE BY Lillika Eden

LUCY TOP IN BLUE PINSTRIPE BY Amour Vert

YESIM TOP IN OFF WHITE BY miss Green

MIRA TOP BY Noumenon

LACED BLOUSE BY Lanius

LANIA TOP BY Lovjoi

ERASTOS WRAP TOP BY essentials for zula

The white shirt (€65) is by Lillika Eden which is a brand that manufactures vegan and organic garments under fair conditions. The Lucy top ($118) is similar to the Volant shirt – a basic t-shirt with a twist. Amour Vert’s production is located in the U.S. using non-toxic dyes, sustainable fabrics and zero waste practices. However, not all products of the brand are vegan. The off shoulder top (€70) is perfect for those nights where mosquitoes want to suck all your blood. Miss Green manufactures in GOTS certified and ethical European and Indian workshops where they use no harmful chemicals and organic fabrics, minimising their water use. The Noumenon top (€78) comes in several colours and is one of my personal favourites. Noumenon’s garments are vegan, GOTS certified (organic), made from sustainable fabrics. I’m eyeing the lace blouse (€140) by Lanius for a while now. I see this piece worn casually with jeans and for night outs dressed up with heels. Lanius is a vegan and GOTS certified brand. The baby blue top (€80) by Lovjoi is one of those pieces that can easily be dressed up or down. It is ethically and ecologically made in Germany. Last but not least, the wrap top (€34) by essentials for zula that comes in light grey as well. It is ethically produced in Thailand.

The classic bodysuit ($63) also by Vaute is a wardrobe staple since the colour and the design makes it easy to pair it with other pieces. Vaute is an all vegan fashion brand which manufactures sustainably and ethically in NYC.

MAXIDRESS ZOE IN ANIMAL BY Hati Hati

MARTA DRESS BY Armed Angels

CAMISOLE SLIP DRESS IN CREAM BY People Tree

PERNILLE DRESS BY Noumenon

CARLITA DRESS IN WHITE BY Reformation

STRAP DRESS IN RED BY Lanius

The pink slip dress (€70) is made from recycled polyester which makes it vegan and sustainable. Jan ‘n June uses organic cotton (GOTS certified) which reduces chemicals (that you would be wearing on your skin!) and recycled fabrics, along with Micro Modal which is a CO₂ neutral fabric and manufactures in Poland. The Maxidress (€160) by Hati Hati is ethically produced using less chemically treated, sustainable fabrics. The off-the shoulder dress (€70) is by Armed Angels, a company that uses sustainable and organic materials and produces under certified fair conditions. This Camisole (€40) by People Tree can be worn under a dress or as a simple summer dress. People Tree uses organic fabrics that are dyed with safe azo-free dyes and produces ethically. The Pernille dress (€150) is by Noumenon, a vegan company that produces ethically in Europe to reduce CO2 emissions and uses recylced materials, as well as environmentally-friendly ink. I’ve been a huge fan of Reformation for years, therefore I had to include one of their stunning dresses ($178)! Apart from their trendy, beautiful designs, Reformation produces their garments ethically in the United States using eco-friendly practices: their energy supply is from wind-power, they recycle and compost waste, they work with local and sustainable suppliers and much more. Plus, Reformation is a Certified Benefit Corporations (B Corps) which is a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. The Lanius dress (€120) is vegan, like every garment from the company, and sustainably made.

ETHICAL UNDIES

June 5, 2017

MIA BRA & MIA STRING BY Underprotection

SENSITIVE STRING IN NUDE BY Calida (on sale!)

CHLOE BRA & SIMONE THONG IN BEACH GLASS BY Naja (on sale!)

OLYMPIA BRALETTE BY essentials for zula

We all wear underwear. But bras and briefs from high street fashion brands are produced in the same way as t-shirts and jeans. Therefore, it makes sense to invest in some ethically-made, high quality undergarments. The black set by the Danish fair fashion brand Underprotection, bra (€47) and string (€33), is made from sustainable fabrics and is a good staple for a greener closet. The string (€8) by Calida is available in white, black and nude and is ethically-made and is not made with harmful substances (OEKO-TEX® Standard 100).

The Naja lace set is also available in different colours, bra ($33) & brief ($7), and is made by single mothers who additionally get paid their children’s school uniforms, school meals and school supplies by the company. Naja also uses digital printing on their lingerie to reduce water waste. The brand also offers a great variety of basic nude bras and panties for every skin colour!

The white bralette(€26) by essentials for zula is ethically made in Thailand and can easily worn as a crop top in summer or as festival wear.

(almost) PLASTIC FREE BATHROOM ESSENTIALS

June 4, 2017

SOLID DEODORANT BY Lamazuna

SHAMPOO BAR FOR NORMAL HAIR BY Lamazuna

TEA TREE OIL

MAKEUP REMOVAL PADS BY Lamazuna

Okay, so I’m not completely zero waste like Lauren Singer. But I’m aware of the fact that there is A LOT of plastic in our everyday life which cannot be recycled and ends up in the ocean. The solution to that are small changes in eg. your hair and skin care product choice that make your life more sustainable.

The company Lamazuna offers plastic free products like this deodorant that you simply apply on damp skin (€12) and this shampoo bar for normal hair (€13). This shampoo bar smells like a day at the Spa and even foams! After trying out several shampoo bars and even no-poo methods (rye flour, rice flour, baking soda, ACV) and hating every single method, I felt so happy to find this amazing shampoo bar. You seriously won’t notice the difference to a (plastic) bottled shampoo and it’s perfectly suitable for traveling!

Tea tree oil is the best natural spot treatment since it’s antiseptic and dries out the blemish overnight. Plus, it usually comes in a glass bottle.

Lamazuna’s make-up removing wipes (€11) are a good swap for your conventional disposable pads. Just put them in the little washing bag they come with and throw them in the washing machine after use.

Who’s ready for summer? These blush coloured shoes and bags make my heart skip a beat! These slides (£40) seriously remind me of those PUMA X FENTY slides but they are from a vegan shoe brand called Collection & Co. They offer a variety of vegan shoes that are so chic I had to include another pair here. I’ve seen Mules everywhere on the streets of London but these nude mules (£65) made out of faux suede have that unique touch with their edgy heel. The beyond skin sandals are currently on sale (£79)! They are by a vegan company that produce in Spain. I have a thing for tiny bags so these vegan and sweatshop free bags by melie bianco (£42) and Alexandra K (€179) are a dream come true! The vegan pink mules (£85) and that (again) tiny backpack (£88) by matt & nat could actually work well together. Plus, the colour of the backpack is called ‘tofu’. Do I have to say more? Lastly, the ethically-made and vegan crossbody bag by Angela Roi ($135) is perfect for traveling.
