The Princess Project!

You know me, clothing with a purpose other than looking down right pretty is a huge bonus to me- If you've been reading for a while, may have read my post on Sevenly.com
Amazing company, selling beautiful clothing with pretty designs like dreamcatchers and abstract art for a different cause each week, sometimes famine, orphans, clean water; causes like that.

Here's my newest addition to the 'clothing with a cause' by a company called The International Princess project, it rescues women from India who are trapped in prostitution and instead, allows them to stitch in good working conditions these amazing PJ PANTS!
I've explained it very broadly, it's actually a hugely emotional and revolutanary, their video explains it beautifully!



It's such a shame at this moment in time it only has 11,000 views or so, when there's videos of a person falling off their bike or something with millions of views!

Here is the grand products themselves or Punjammies, the patterns are so beautiful they could also be called Funjammies I think!

Are these not the best lounging pants ever? I say they're far too pretty for bed! I'd wear them lounging in the garden, for 'reading days' on the beach, picnics in the park!

They do shirts and shorts too that are pretty

But I like the Punjammies the best!
If you love them but are short on cash, they have a very generous sale section with lots of designs that after that will be discontinued.

The sad part is that they only ship to the US and Canada! I could have shed a tear, so I looked for volunteering oppertunities with the charity but at this time there are none overseas, oh well!
I've followed them on twitter so that if international shipping becomes available I'll be the first to know!
And just for fun, and maybe to explain why this cause specifically has sturck a chord of passion with me was my incredible trip to India; so here it is the most gloriously unglamorous photograph of myself in the traditional 'get up' in the hotel lobby! Enjoy!

Amazing clothes & amazing causes

Shopping in charity shops is one thing, but there are lots of reasons why some people don't - Maybe one of these reasons sums up you?

1. The idea of used clothes isn't appealing to me

2. I never find anything that I like

3. There aren't any charity shops near me

4. Just going into those places makes me feel overwhelmed the amount of junk on display

5. I don't feel strongly enough about the charity to draw me inside

if this is YOU stay tuned- you are in for a treat!

http://sevenly.org/

is an amazing website, where a tshirt and hoodie design is made and produced and on sale for one week- and the proceeds go towards one specific charity; there's details on who the charity are, what they're about and what your purchase (i.e money) can do to help someone else.

Maybe you don't like this weeks design?

No problemo!

Next week they'll be a new design!
Supporting a new charity! (it can be solutions to sex trafficking, hunger, disease)

The best part?
The designs are beautiful, charming, whimsical and wearable

The price?

$22 for a shirt, $35 for a hoodie they often sell one design in a variety of shirt designs, sometimes jumpers too and in male and female designs

'Do they ship to me?'
I hear you cry!
YES! They ship worldwide!!

So while you're stocking up on clothes for summer, visit sevenly for new designs along with asos, forever21, H&M, Topshop- and wherever else you're shopping!

Sunny Shopping for Charity!

Here's what I looked like a little earlier today:

Sunglasses on my head, you best believe it's going to be a good day! Who doesn't love sunshine to put a little extra spring in your step!
Here's a closer look at my 'Queen of Aces' fancy shirt!

This is a little look at the treasures I picked up!
A black evening top from Warehouse (but actually from Demelza House)
A floral shirt from New look ( but actually from the red cross)
A black shoulder pad cropped jacked from H&M (but actually from Demelza House)
A fun print tassle scarf with no brand on it but came from good ol' Demelza house too!

Finally, I treated myself to a chocolate orange candle because it smelt exactly like chocolate! And usually i hate the scent of aritificial chocolate because it smells like sugary plastic. But this smelt like the REAL DEAL! And I sure love them chocolate oranges, so I'm not sure if this candle will do more harm than good and make me crave chocolate oranges!

That's a little bit of the fun we had today, Saturday shopping is great! especially when it does good things for charities and costs a fraction of what it does when you shop in the high street stores!

I'll upload a video soon that goes into a little more depth about our day!
