Hen outfit selfie 🎉🐥 . So unfortunately I decided the day I was leaving for my hen that I “had no clothes to wear” and went out and bought this white top on sale and another one similar to it in NewLook. Had I put a bit more planning into it I would of tried to find something online in a better shop. I did however try all the charity shops (about 6) in town for a top along these lines or a white dress but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Moral of the story and lesson learnt - sometimes ethical/ sustainable shopping requires more planning . This picture was taken on the first night (literally 10minutes after arriving) . One cool thing about #Ballilogue is that the venue is HUGE. About 4 different houses put together so I spent about 10 minutes trying to pick out my room 😂 Every Room is so different and cool in its own way . Top - Bought this year on sale in NewLook Trousers - I bought them one summer in River Island and literally never wore them until this summer 🙈 I’d say they are about 4ish years old . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike #henparty #alternativehenparty #irishhenparty My chicks 🐥 . Had the best time with everyone in this picture (and a few others not in the picture) at my hen party in @ballilogue . This photo was taken just after Floral hair piece workshop with @helensgardenkinvara so obviously we had to get a group picture . Yes I went for white 💁🏻‍♀️ But I was not aware everyone else was told to wear black until I went down. But sure it’s one day and the photos look cool - brings out the colourful flowers 😁 . I done a post on cruelty free / eco friendly alternative hen party ideas. My hen party definitely fit the bill (Thank you Caoimhe & co) and I have full details to all that on my website too . Obviously one of the easiest way to have a cruelty free hen would be to opt for a vegan / vegetarian hen and not to include any animals as entertainment . Some of the places I mention in my post are • @kippurewicklow • @burrenyoga • @thegreenroomlahinch • @rockfarmslane . I know a few of my friends on Instagram have also had some awesome hen parties, the most recent gal being @lifeveganstyle_ and would love if people could comment their parties / ideas below 🖤 . #henparty #irishbride #alternativehenparty #mygirls #veganbride #ethicalbride #ethicalwedding #veganwedding #irishvegan #irishveggie #vegangirl #veganireland #sustainableliving #sustainablefashionblogger #ethicalfashionblogger #ballilogue #helensgarden Headache days = the cosiest of cosy clothes days . Top = PJ top that I bought in Penny’s, I don’t know how long ago, maybe 3-4 years ago. Bottoms - Bought last year in @freshcutsclothing 🖤 Slippers - Christmas present from my mom 2-3 years ago . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike Part 2 of my interview with @flawlessandpawless is now available on iTunes (click into the link in my bio) and on Soundcloud. Also, just very important to note, companies regularly change their policies, so some of the content from the interview may no longer be correct upon date of listening. To regularly stay up to date on what is cruelty free and what is not check in with Ailsha on @flawlessandpawless to check the brand in question. Podcast was recorded the last week of May 2018. See recent update below . If you missed Part 1, I highly recommend a listen because in part 1 we more so talk about all things cruelty free within the beauty and makeup industry (focusing on Ireland). In Part 2 we focus on Ailsha, how and why she set up #FlawlessAndPawless , what motivates her, three things she does for her business everyday and lots more . If you do give the show a listen please let me know in a mail or by a comment below or even taken a screen shot and tag me 🙏 . Hope you enjoy 🖤 . 🚫💉🐭🐰🙈🐶 . UPDATE: Since this podcast was recorded, Ailsha received confirmation from the Leaping Bunny Program that Burt's Bees is still Leaping Bunny certified, and has not had their cruelty free status revoked. They seem to have been bought over by Clorox, however it was only a false rumour that Burt's Bees entered the Chinese market, where it is required by law for all cosmetics to be tested on animals. Ailsha can confirm that Burt's Bees is cruelty free . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike #podcast #irishpodcast Very happy to have collaborated with @boutiqueoftoi & @allisonsherman4 on the need to encourage ethical & sustainable fashion in the July/ August issue. Swipe ➡️➡️➡️ to read my piece . You can read the full magazine and what everyone has to say on the matter by going to @boutiqueoftoi and clinking the link on their page. I very much recommend reading it as it is such an important topic in today’s world that needs plenty of talk, encouragement and support. You can also check out some delicious vegan recipes by @veganveggieview & @healthienut & @c_a_ricketts in the magazine . I highly recommend watching @truecostmovie and doing a rethink on how you cast your highly important consumer vote, but my main advise is not to throw out what you already have if it’s from an undesired brand as that will contribute to the huge waste problem the fashion world is currently having. Rather, take good care of what you have now and rethink your shopping going forward 🤗 . If you have a chance to read #ToiMagazine let me know what you think . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike So some of the next pictures going up over the next few weeks are going to be some throw backs of my hen, our wedding and our honeymoon as bar the honeymoon I haven’t really put up much of what was such an exciting time for me over the last few months . So this picture is from my hen party which my amazing cousin and friends organised and we had such a good weekend. So much food, most of which was vegan and just so many laughs!! . I have a blog post on my site #IrishMountainChild which you can find the link to in my bio. The post just talks about what we did, why I loved it so much and some links to venues and vendors . This photo was taken after a lovely floral master class with a lady called Helen. Which came in handy for the wedding .... stay turned as to why 😂 . I literally spent the whole weekend laughing so thank you to everyone who came and made it so fun ❤️ . #irishvegan #irishveggie #irishblogger #irishbride #irishbride2018 #ballilogue #henparty #henpartyfun #ethicalwedding #crueltyfree #veganwedding #veganhenparty #WhatHappensInBallilogue #sustainablefashion So a month married today 🙌 . As someone who up until Oisin and I organised our first date thought that I probably wouldn’t ever get married this is a pretty funny but awesome thing for me. When you find your ‘person’ it’s amazing . Anyway.... for those that didn’t know, but a lot of thought went into my dress, it was the dream dress I didn’t know I wanted but it was also ethically made in Spain and sustainably bought as a pre-loved dress ❤️ The veil was also bought pre-loved too. . I have a blog post ready for next week on my whole look for the day - dress, veil, shoes, hair and makeup - which is all obviously cruelty free, I done my own makeup and my mother done my hair 🙋🏻‍♀️ . #irishvegan #irishveggie #irishblogger #irishbride #castledurrow #weddingarch #ethicalwedding #ethicalfashionblogger #sustainableliving #sustainablefashionblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfreebeauty #veganwedding #ethicalwedding So a lot of good news to come out on the #crueltyfree and #vegan front yesterday . @kyliejenner & her company @kyliecosmetics made it to the cover of @forbes as she is on her way to be the worlds youngest billionaire due to her makeup line - which for those that don’t know is cruelty free & vegan . @primark.beauty announced that their products are officially @crueltyfreeintl & @leapingbunnyprogram certified now which is AMAZING!! . I asked on a poll in my story yesterday if people thought Cruelty-Free beauty was the way forward (not knowing of the Kylie & Primark news) and not one person answered no. Everyone said that cruelty free beauty was the way forward and I am so happy about this! From my early teens I was aware of the cruelty within the beauty industry and have always tried to steer clear from brands that don’t have strict policies when it comes to being cruelty free. I talk about this in my latest podcast (link in bio ⤴️⤴️⤴️) with @flawlessandpawless (Ireland’s expert in all things cruelty free beauty) and we talk about the ins and outs of being cruelty free. It is absolutely the way forward and I am so happy the world is catching on . Just curious, do you shop cruelty free on purpose or do your products just happen to be cruelty free?? . The next step I hope for these amazing brands is to make their products and packaging more eco friendly and limit the waste after their use . #irishvegan #irishveggie #irishblogger #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalbeautybrand #crueltyfree #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfreefashion #noanimalsharmed #bananimaltesting #EveryConsumerVoteCounts Back to the good old fashion selfies in the mirror 🤗 . Top - about 7ish years old from TopShop Shorts - Bought 3ish years ago from @svpterenure Sliders (didn’t know that was what they were called)/ shoes - Bought before I went away in Penny’s Pedicure - @skinfullaffairs . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike
