➡️➡️➡️ My thoughts when people tell me “I need meat to survive” or “there’s not enough protein on a plant based diet” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ . Anyway ..... Date night attire . Jumper - #recycledfashion from my mom 💚 Jeans - Bought last year from @avocaireland Faux leather jacket - Recycled fashion again from @depop Boots - 3/4 years old from @oxfamireland / @oxfamgeorgesstreet . #plantbasedgirl #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike One of the reasons I love Ireland so much, is because we done a pretty good job of keeping things as they are and not demolishing for a laugh or not having people ruin beautiful sites, basically, we done a pretty good job at preserving our history & nature and because of that, we have some pretty awesome places to be and see (like this beautiful Japanese Garden in Powerscourt). Moving forward we need to continue doing this, but we need to be even more vigilant in preserving nature & history, in making the right choices when it comes to everyday things like - not asking for a plastic straw vs choosing a bio degradable straw if needed, how we cast our consumer vote - fast vs slow fashion, in the food we put into our mouths - organic & in season vs from wherever & full of pesticides, in real fur & leather or faux fur & leather / but FYI Donatella Versace herself said “fur is over” #JustSaying I think you get the picture, unfortunately it’s not up to a small amount of people to fix the worlds problems, it’s up to all of us and thankfully I think we are becoming much smarter and much more aware of what we need to do! So let’s continue 💪💚💪 #ireland #wicklow #powerscourt #powerscourtestate #sustainability #gasan #giveashitaboutnature #natureiscool One of my favourite new shops is @siopaella 😍 I’m all about pre-loved clothes and giving clothing a new second go at life and I love that there is a shop that is solely dedicated to doing that with luxury items, which some major vetting and authentication on these items as even though they are pre-loved, they still are valued quite high and don’t come cheap! Another reason why I love @siopaella and the likes is because I am not spending my money and casting my consumer vote into any company who uses real leather, I mean like real fur is over (#DonatellaVersace2018) so I just don’t understand why fashion brands don’t understand that leather & fur are pretty much the same thing...ie animal skin! Here’s opening 2019 will be the year 🙋🏻‍♀️ . In the mean time if there is an item like a handbag that you have your heart set on (as I did with mine for many many years) and you want to buy it - a great way to be sustainable is to buy it pre-loved and you’re also not supporting a cruel industry by doing so! It’s a win / win / win!! . Also on a different note, you are also supporting small local companies & workers which I am 💯% always behind doing! If the @getitgiveitpodcast is anything to go buy I clearly love people following their passion and dream and making it their job, while making the planet a better place 💚 . I go into this subject slightly more in dept in one of my story highlights above . Coat - Bought this year from Warehouse (If you didn’t know, I was very particular about this jacket, as most similar ones were made from wool, which due to how it can be got and the profit over compassion that can be associated with the wool industry I like to avoid, whereas with this jacket there are no animal materials associated with it) Dress - #Recycledfashion from my sister in law 💚 Boots - Bought from a random shop in town 5ish years ago Bag - Bought #PreLoved from @siopaella 💚 . #siopaella #plantbased #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #louisvuitton #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #prelovedbranded #prelovedfashion #crueltyfreefashion #localbusiness #recycledfashion So if I could go back to the #AmalfiCoast sometime soon, that would be awesome! . Something else that would be pretty bad ass would be if we could all use less plastic. One area in my life where I am now thriving at that is my weekly grocery shop (thanks to @thedublinfoodcoop) now that I am able to buy unpackaged fruit & veg, bulk buy the likes of pasta, rice & quinoa in containers and one I never forget to bring my reusable bag I’m happy 🤗 . If you swipe left there are some other fun tips! My main ones are 1. Pre-loved clothing is awesome, start to love it 2. Bring reusable bags with you when doing any sort of shopping 3. Switching to a vegetarian / plant based or vegan diet! Less meat is the way to go 🤔 . Top - Bought last year in a sale in New Look Skirt - oh jezzzz I think it’s from Forever 21 and it’s about 10 years old 😱 . #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals Podcast days 🤗🎙 . New episode of my podcast - @getitgiveitpodcast interviewing the very awesome and very lovely @thevegancailin . On this episode (which we done from inside my car) we talk about essential oils and everything you need to know about them, the right way to use diffusers, a vegan lifestyle and vegan meal prep and basically all things health and wellness 💚 . Link is in my bio and full information on @getitgiveitpodcast page . Hope you like it and get some great info from Jade x . Top - Bought about 6 years ago from @svpterenure (one of my favourite buys 🤗) Jeans bought this year in @avocaireland Boots - #Recycledfashion from my sister-in-law 💚 . #irishvegan #irishveggie #plantbased #laptoplifestyle #irishpodcast #podcastlife #essentialoils #doterra #veganlifestyle #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike #beforeandaftermakeup Some blissful afternoons spent in Wicklow 💚 . Also I had so much to do this weekend and apart from going for a run (yes it is a big deal) and doing 72 squats (an even bigger deal) and then ruining it my eating my body weight in different food, I pretty much done nothing and had roughly 1848483 things to do 😭😭😭 . So the quote by @hdfmagazine was more than relatable . #wicklow #ireland #irishpassion #irishpost #instaireland #instaireland_ #visitwicklow #wicklowmountains #naturewhyyousobeautiful Date night with my dude 💚 . Jacket - Bought this year from Warehouse. If you didn’t know, I was very particular about this jacket, as most similar ones were made from wool, which due to how it can be got and the profit over compassion that can be associated with the wool industry I like to avoid, whereas with this jacket there are no animal materials associated with it White top - Bought in River Island...wait for it.... 11 years ago!! I bought it when I was 19 & pregnant with Skye Jeans - Bought this year from @avocaireland Boots - #RecycledFashion from my sister in law 💚 . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike . *second picture is a repost from @ecoroots I’m talking all things eco-friendly wedding invites on my YouTube (link in bio) . I think the best tips are 1. Decide whether you want an actual physical invite or if a virtual invite would work for you 2. Check if your printer uses recycled paper 3. Shop local. The lovely lady that done our wedding invites is Corinne from @thepapershop.ie - you definitely need to check her stuff out!! OMG it’s stunning! 4. Use alternative paper, is seeded paper something you could use? Seeded paper is something that can when planted sprout some beautiful flowers . If you swipe ➡️ you can see ours, we got our wedding invites & RSVPs printed by @thepapershop.ie and OMG!! I love them. I love designing and creating and had a huge input into the cards. I wanted something slightly gothic, slightly Victorian (we did marry with a castle background after all 🤷🏻‍♀️) and for the party invites I wanted them to be more fun and more us! . If you have any tips I may have missed I (along with any future brides) would love to see your tips below ❤️ . #castledurrow #kippureestate #ecofriendlywedding #crueltyfreewedding #maggiesotterobride #sustainablewedding #ecofriendlyliving #sustainableliving #youtube #irishvegan #irishveggie #vegangirl #veganwedding #whatveganslooklike #irishwedding #weddinginvites Pajama days yesterday✌️ . Pretty much had a cosy at home PJ day with Skye (she’s on her midterm 🎉) and watched some films, had the intention of watching Harry Potter for the theme that’s in it, but alas that did not happen. . Oisín got me these PJs as a Christmas present ❤️ Back in a different life I almost had a different set of PJs every night to do for about 2 weeks 🤭 #WasteNotWantNot Saoirse! Now I have 4 really good / awesome pairs! 2 winter ones that are warm, one set that is ideal for not too cold / not too warm (this is actually it) and one summer one - which is a mix of a pair of shorts & 2 T-shirt’s 🤟 Slippers - @debenhamsire . #irishvegan #irishblogger #irishveggie #vegangirl #sustainablefashion #sustainablestyle #sustaibablefashionblogger #sustaibableblogger #sustainablelife #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalstyle #ethicallife #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreestyle #crueltyfreeblogger #crueltyfreemakeup #noanimalwasharmed #nottestedonanimals #whatveganslooklike
