I'm Loving J Brand! x

I don't really have to explain why I love J brand, it's simply because they make the best jeans, jeggings, pants ever!!! That are also extremely practical and affordable :]

Let's take a look at some of the J Brands on different celebrities ...

Visit their official website, or visit a local J Brand store. We In Oman don't have one, so we find that going to Dubai is the easiest way to get J Brands!

Please do not make the mistake that Heidi Klum made!

Heidi Klum in J Brand Jeans

This is sooo, over torn :

Ok, your shades are amazing, and i would totally give them 10/10 .. but those jeans?

I don't think so,

I have said it earlier that i am a big fan of J Brand Jeans, but those ones, no!

I feel like they are too messy and over torn, so they look streety, and we're so not into that right now, we'd like to keep it elegant and classy! x

5 White Eco Fashion Finds

Perhaps more fitting for a winter wonderland Christmas themed post, but one look at the stunning white eco friendly dress, jeans, underwear, cardigan and ballet flats and you will see why they had to be posted a.s.a.p!




Mindy Mock - Lara Miller
Made in Chicago
100% Hand-loomed bamboo

This exquisite dress proclaims loudly and proudly to the world that eco fashion is ready to take centre stage! The Mindy Mock is the perfect unique dress to have in your closet.
Purchase in store or online at eco boutique, Embodies (Larkspur, California) for US$338

Sunbaked White Jeans - Sharkah Chakra
Made in India (handwoven) and Italy (finished)
Organic and fair trade cotton

These are the first white jeans to be made 'totally organically and without bleach' according to Sharkah Chakra. Baked in the Indian sun, it takes around 6 months to achieve the desired shade of white and 250 days in total to make. They look ever so chic and it's little wonder supermodel Claudia Schiffer has been spotted wearing them.
Purchase online at Sharkah Chakra or buy on sale at Browns Fashion for £115, reduced from £220!





Magnolia knickers and matching bra - Luva Huva
Handmade in the UK
Made from end of line remnants

I fell in luva (sorry, couldn't resist) with Luva Huva when organic beauty site, Puresha were recently offering a special giveaway of their pretty and feminine underwear. Each piece is hand made by founder, Joanna Ketterer using disused and end of line fabrics which are sourced locally. I'm seriously impressed and totally smitten with the line which appeals to the Jane Austen within!
Cream Border Anglaise Knicker £20 - Purchase at Luva Huva
Magnolia Cream Border Halterneck Bra £27 - Purchase at Luva Huva
Visit Luva Huva



Bethany Cardigan - Frank & Faith
Made in Britain
Organic Cotton

A white cardigan will look fresh this spring or summer and is more flattering to sun deprived winter skin than black, which can sometimes drain what little colour you do have away. This cute Frank & Faith cardi would work equally well with jeans for a casual look or dressed up with a pretty dress or skirt.
Also available in black, cherry red or green
Purchase online at Frank & Faith for £43



Ace Shoes - Vegetarian Shoes
Made in Portugal
Canvas and 'breathable bucky' vegetarian material

I did feature the black version of these Ace shoes in the 5 Best Black Vegan Ballet Flats post, but I thought the style and price of the cute polka dot lined white shoes deserved a viewing of their very own!
Purchase online at Vegetarian Shoes UK £39.95

6 Eco Friendly Fashion Items in Chic Navy Shades

If your closet is starting to fill up with one too many black pieces, perhaps you should venture over to the navy side. Navy is just as sophisticated as black, but less harsh. A dash of navy here and there can soften your look but still keep you looking chic. So take a look at my selection of the best navy key pieces for your eco friendly closet.

The Organic Market Bag – Moop

Organic Cotton and Vegetable Based Dyes
Etsy is my new best friend for finding creative and stunning handmade gems from designers such as Moop. Their large midnight blue bag is ideal for the girl who literally has to cart her life around in a bag. At least now it can be an organic, ethically made bag!

Karen Dress – Wildlife Works

This dress is going to make you feel really good now! By the way, the dress looks black but is actually a deep navy colour.
