Summer Dress

I just stumbled across the perfect summer dress (on bochica again).
£29.99 from Bibico.
To be accessorized with a pair of freckly shoulders.

Comeback

This has been a long year. I have finally finished my collection and life has me back.

To celebrate my joyous return here a whole outfit:
everything is from bochica (yes i learned how to use links).
It is a great online shop where everything is ridiculously cheap, much cheaper than Topshop actually.

Shoes £20
Organic Skinny Jeans £25.99
Organic Shirt £20
Necklace £40

But the star is the beautiful shoulder bag. Handcrafted out of ethically sourced local leather in Kathmandu by Hatti (don't be scared off by the homepage), who run part charity, part workshop for abused women of the area.

And it is just £26.99!

turtle bags

Hello, -back after a little break! Lots and lots of nice and (sometimes) shiny new things on the ethical market it seems.
Let's start with these timeless and effortlessly cool shopping bags. Perfect for summer days, market visits and pique-niques in the park (soon....).

They are called "turtle bags" and support a campaign that aims at saving turtles dying from plastic bags floating in the ocean (they mistake them for yummy jellyfish and eat them).
Sourced from a fair trade organization and made from ecco friendly produce, the Fair and Fabulous Web Shop (on Link list) offers them for just 4.99 Pounds Sterling.
