Guest Post- Top Animal Friendly Fashion Brands for Every Fashionista!

Top Animal Friendly Fashion Brands for Every Fashionista!


Leading a healthy lifestyle is not just about opting for the right diet and leading a happy life, but more than often, it’s more about how you care for the planet. Many fashionistas have turned vegan for their own reasons while some have chosen to show compassion for their fellow animals. If you really want to stand for the causes of environment, a healthy life on the planet, and for those defenceless animals, you can pick one of the brands mentioned below as your next shopping choice.

Stella McCartney: Talking of the most famed and luxurious fashion labels of the globe, Stella McCartney is a name taken by many with pride. Choice of many celebs, she is known for being a designer with value. All of her fashions and designs are animal-free, and she is an ardent PETA supporter. Of course, her clothes don’t come in the budget of most ladies, but when you want to pay; you must opt for better value!

Loomstate: This is among the new brands on the block to join the animal-free fashion world. Established in 2004, this New York based brand offers a cool and casual line of clothing with everything made from organic cotton. Yes, you heard it right, using 100% certified organic cotton, they don’t just make stylish clothes, but they do their bit for the better life of those animals killed in millions of numbers for their skin.

Alabama Chanin: Another designer brand that believes in show fashion, and only creates a clothing line that’s consists of handmade products. What makes the range unique is the use of recycled, sustainable, and organic material for their line. The products are made by hand, adding to the value.

Olsen Haus: Now this is not a new brand for anyone who follows fashion, but what you may not know is the unique vegan theme behind Olsen Haus. They use a whole lot of organic and alternative fabrics and materials for their products and like to educate people about fashion with sustainability.

Beyond Skin: Looking for vegan shoes? This UK based brand can offer you non leather shoes that are 100% vegan. What's good? Well, they sell their products to any part of the globe. If you are someone who loves shopping clothes online from international brands, this is something you must own, like right now!

People Tree – Another UK based brand that has joined hands with none other than Emma Watson for creating a complete line that will boast of being animal-free. Watson will be endorsing the line, named as “Youth Collection”, which is expected to raise consciousness towards sustainable fashion.
Fashion is much more than what you see in magazines, as well as, runways, and it makes sense to care for fellow planet members in the right way.

Giveaway Competition- New Glossybox Products


Hi beautiful people! How many of you are Glossybox subscribers? Have you got lots of unwanted product and they are just sitting there untouched? I do, I have lots. I want to be giving them away to those who would use them. This competition I will give 5 products sent in the original Glossybox with all the shredded paper and tissue paper. I haven't used any of them, still sealed and in their original packaging. I've taken a few close ups of each product.


Gosh Cosmetic Sundown Lipstick. I am not a lipstick person, I've given a few to my mum already. I'm not giving her this one because she doesn't like the colour and she has too many. According to the Glossybox info card this lipstick gives an intense and long lasting colour to your lips. I've found a photo of how the lip colour looks from Lily Melrose's beauty blog, see below.

Caudalie Divine Oil for body, face and hair. The tag is still on, I have opened it to smell it but haven't used it. I prefer to use natural products (as natural as possible) on myself for example; argan oil and coconut oil for hair, coconut oil and castor oil for face and cocoa butter and vitamin E oil on my body. 


Face tint with sunscreen of 50+. Initially this was very attractive to me because of the high SPF but I don't really use liquid foundation as I have sensitive skin. I have enough BB Cream at home already and I hardly used them too.



Nail Polish Headline. I do paint my nails but this colour is too dark for me. The colour is a bit different in this photo, it's actually dark purple. The colour of blueberry juice to be exact. 



And finally, Wilkinson Sword razor. I don't shave, I wax so this is no good for me. I haven't opened it, it is all sealed up. I know I've still loads of times but I want to make sure you know it is all new, unused and sealed. Lol.
