Eco fashion is big business! We all seem to be going green crazy and now when someone offers to show you some credible eco-fashions you can expect to see more than just a hemp sack draped across a model. Lots of high street retailers are bringing in their own eco-ranges in store to show us that they care about the environment and this is creating more awareness that is much needed.
Originating from Indonesia, I more than most people am desperate to see an end to the sweat shops of the Far East and Asia. Fortunately the media has turned up the heat on the subject and many leading fashion houses appear to be changing their ways ... unless they are just being super quiet about it!
I love this People Tree Puff Sleeve Blouse £65
Enamore Beautiful Bette Shift Dress made from hemp and recycled materials - £130

We don’t normally write about fragrances here on TopStylista, but we dare to be different so why not!
Californian ladies surf brand Roxy is the latest brand to join the ranks of the perfume counters and I must say with adequate authority. I just trialled ‘ROXY’ and was pleasantly surprised ... it smells gorgeous, fresh and ‘alive’!
In fact the smell encapsulates really well exactly who’s likely to buy it – it’s a young fragrance with plenty of body and zest to it… oh if technology was such that you could smell your computer screen!!! How on earth can I describe this too you? I tell you what ... just go try it in your local Boots ... easy,
I can’t wait to wear mine!!!

If you haven’t heard about Anya Hindmarch’s ‘be a bag’ product then you need to!
There are loads of different shapes and sizes that you can personalise with your very own picture. You’ve also got a choice of colours which are certainly stylish. Celebs such as Heidi Klum, Elle MacPherson, Natalie Appleton and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson are all renowned clients.
The bags take approximately 12 weeks to make and if you want to get an order in for Christmas 2007 then you’ve only got until 5th October to do so. Once you’ve placed your order you’ll be asked to forward your photo.
Check out the catalogue here and start digging out those old photo albums for some inspiration!
