Caring Companies: TULLE is a great new find!

Hi all!

When researching the use of fur in the companies included in FITNESS Magazine's Jacket Jackpot feature (which I blogged about here and which can be viewed in full here), I came across a design company I was not familiar with - maybe I'm behind the times, or perhaps they are brand new - but after emailing TULLE to find out what their policy is I was delighted when I received the below response. It seems that not only are they fur-free but also leather-free, so feel free to shop away at TULLE! I have updated the jacket post to include the TULLE jacket that FITNESS was showcasing and a post on the necessary wardrobe staples for every woman is upcoming, featuring all TULLE clothing!

You don't have to be cruel to be kind,

TULLE's response:

No we do not use real fur or real leather.

Thanks!

Guiltless Goodies: Jackets for every body type

Hi all!

Maybe it isn't in my part of the world, but I am aware that many places are experiencing a season known as 'winter' right now! Jackets are an essential part of any fall/winter closet, and FITNESS Magazine's October issue included a feature titled Jacket Jackpot featuring jackets suitable for any body type.

After plucking out some cruel options, I have a full collection of flattering, fashionable and funky jackets below. The full feature can be found online here.

You don't have to be cruel to be kind,
