Sustainable Style for a Whole Year!

I am about to embark on something new.... from 30 December 2010 I am going to go for a full year of wearing only sustainable clothing and jewellery and decorating my home with sustainable accessories. 

I am only going to buy second-hand and vintage and will up-cycle as I go to challenge myself to be stylish sustainably!! I will post my efforts here......

I accept the challenge gracefully (and stylishly!) - bring it on!!

Clutch Bags

Now I love to carry a clutch.  Especially at this time of year when the party clothes are on and there are generally more events to attend.  Net-A-Porter has a lovely range of clutches and here are a few of my favourites.

 Alexander McQueen - £895

Marc Jacobs - £885

Jimmy Choo - £1,295

All of which are available here

Color Splash

I have just found a great new and FREE app for the iPhone.  I have been playing about with it this morning and it is great fun.  It is called Color Splash.

You can make images b&W and highlight some things in colour.  Really cool and arty!

Look at what you can do......

Will post some of my own pictures once I have mastered the technique - which is super easy!!

Wearing a tea cup on your arm.....

may be something that you never thought you would do, UNTIL........ you have seen these.

They are adorable and you can get them at this wonderful etsy shop - StayGoldMaryRose

I just love vintage tea sets and have a couple of sets of my own.  I am now looking at my tea sets in a different light - lovely!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.......

Well this week in Edinburgh has been different!  It is super early for snow and it has snowed everyday for the last 7 days - love it!  Have been sledging, snowman and snow-bunny (!) making and having snowball fights - it really does bring the child out in you!

Now to a more serious point - before the snow fell I wasn't organised enough to have bought my winter boots for this year, and since in the past week my feet have been adorned with wellies, uggs and hiking boots I feel that it is now about time to get the stylish ones on!

Here are a few that I have my beady wee eye on......

All three of the above are from Anthropologie - click here

These two are from Urban Outfitters - click here

And the final three are from Zara - click here

Lots of lovely boot eye candy!  Now the next thing is to decide which ones to buy?!  Happy shopping.....

Yokoo

Now this lady I have been watching from afar for a while and have seen her Etsy shop and her profile grow from strength to strength, not only within the Etsy community but in the online world.

She is a one woman business and crochets for about 15 hours a day.  What she produces is outstanding and is a true testiment to her dedication to her company and her flare for style.

Check out her Etsy shop - I promise you won't be disappointed - click here.

And scroll down to get a look at just some of her amazing and super cosy creations.....

Just perfect for this time of year.  How about treating yourself, you know you can't resist?

Style a la Google

This new site from Google is bound to be one to watch.....

Have a peek here

Just launched and looks like it is an easy site to navigate and I love the "In the Style of....." sections where you can look at clothes that your favorite celebrity wears and clothes that they probably would wear.  Love it.

Some images to keep you wanting more......

Keep on following - I am sure it will keep getting better and better.
