Sometimes in life, you come across a company whose products you not only like but you are also moved by their mission, a mission that really strikes a cord with your own personal beliefs and values.  Well that is exactly how I felt when I was introduced to Gosbags. Gosbags Founded in 2018, Gosbags makes durable, functional vegan bags that are built to withstand everyday wear and tear while also looking good.  Founders, Regina and Nick, wanted to create a line of bags that encapsulated the idea of casual style while also having a positive impact.  They did this by committing to make all of thei ..read more

Making a 2018 sustainable fashion pledge, without fear of failure

Congratulations! By choosing to read this post you’re already activating your consciousness in support of a more sustainable, earth and animal (including us humans) way of clothing ourselves. Let’s face it, the act of buying clothing these days has very little to do with our need to cover our bodies, and far more about our discontent and disconnect with what really makes us feel loved, accepted, and self fulfilled. Unconscious fast-fashion marketing and spending is directly dialled into our vanity, greed and ignorance about how and why we’re offered a gluttony of cheap, trendy and often poorly ..read more

Since becoming vegan, I have spent countless hours scouring the internet to find vegan shoes.  There are certain brands that have a wide selection of vegan options like T.U.K. Footwear.  They have been making original footwear for bands, music fans and fashionistas for 26 years.  Think funky, chunky shoes, from creepers to combat boots…and many of them are vegan!

When you think of Colorado or mountain towns, fashion may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Recently however, some super fun vegan businesses have sprouted, rooted in the mountains, doing great things in our community and beyond. I find it quite exciting, in fact, to be part of a community that has an up and coming vegan scene and is getting people to think not just about their food choices but also what impact what they wear has on animals and the environment. Warm shirts available from The Compassionate Closet great to gift as a gift to your loved ones!I’ve lived in the mountains al ..read more

When I was in college, like many other undergrads, I carried around all of my books and notebooks around in a sturdy backpack.  The backpack that I owned was navy blue canvas and looked like what everyone else was carrying around campus…booooring.  Well, the backpack has come a long way since my college days and I have been seeing them used as a statement accessory more and more. Today’s backpacks are fun and fashionable and there are a lot of cruelty-free, vegan options. Check em out below! The Everyday Backpack from Anthropologie is a simple, chic backpack with a minimalistic feel.  I love t ..read more

Wardrobe: why breaking up is so hard to do!

Marie Kondo, the tidying up guru, suggests tackling one’s wardrobe first, in a household of too much stuff. “Begin with the easiest grouping of possessions, your wardrobe,” she says. Goodness, she is so wrong – for some of us anyway! Today’s break up was particularly difficult. I’ve broken up over 300 times this year, and some splits are more difficult than others. Let me explain; I sent my Giorgio Armani pants in for reselling, as part of my journey towards a more minimal wardrobe. These whimsical pants are, no doubt, the hardest item I’ve had to let go of. My 30-year obsession with this desi ..read more

Honing your personal style takes courage!

Are you struggling to sharpen your personal style? In spite of copious evergreen “top steps to personal style” guides found in lifestyle and fashion magazine, books, blogs and YouTube episodes? While cherry picked media has been part of my intentional style revival, I’ve found that the answer to honing personal style is much about self acceptance and less about style guidance! Courage is needed. Much like with veganism, one needs the courage to unlearn what you’ve learnt, and step away from society’s expectations. For personal style development, courage is needed to recognise you are not what ..read more
