H+M's sustainable fashion line

H+M have a brand new line of sustainable fashion clothing! These pieces are made from materials such as organic cotton and recycled polyester.

Sounds exciting but I've checked out the range online and I'm not liking any of the ladieswear. Don't they realise that you can be green and stylish? Though, I must say that the children's clothes and the menswear are looking good. And they're very affordable too. It does make me question how much the workers who made these clothes were paid though. Big businesses are quick to market their clothes as green but it's not enough unless they are being fully responsible for everyone and everything involved in their business, whether it is the people making the clothes or the wildlife affected by the pesticides sprayed onto cotton or the quality of the goods produced, which determines how quickly they're thrown away, or the synthetic dyes used that pollute our water. And lets not forget that it's the big and cheap stores that are making it more difficult for independent businesses to survive in this sector. Especially ethical designers who have to sell their clothes at higher prices because of the financial costs involved.

I think I'll pass on this one. It's great that H&M are giving people options but it's not quite good enough for me. I know it sounds hypocritical of me to criticise H&M when I have bought many of their clothes, but to me this is just a poor attempt to jump onto the green bandwagon just to make money from people who care about the environment.

What are your views on this?

M&S's new Fairtrade collaboration and 75% off

Have you heard about Mark and Spencer's new range of babywear? They have been designed in collaboration with Little Green Radicals and are made from organic and Fairtrade cotton. They are so adorable! And affordable too!

Speaking of Little Green Radicals, check out their sale with up to 75%. I'm totally loving this cute Panda dress (only £4.75!).

Give your unwanted clothes a loving home and make money too!

Every year, British consumers buy 2 million tonnes of clothes. 1.2 million tonnes of this goes to landfill! source

Crazy, right?!! But unfortunately this is the truth. As you all know, this can be reduced by donating unwanted clothes to charity. But if you're strapped for cash, then it's perfectly ok to make some money out of these unwanted items.

I won't drag on about ebay as if it's the latest innovation to hit the world wide web. But that is one option if you want to sell cheap items. But if you have pricier items to sell, such as designer or vintage, you probably won't expect to get yourself a good deal on ebay. It's like selling Gucci at a jumble sale. A better idea is to sell them on Asos Marketplace.

Asos marketplace is where you can sell (or buy) clothes. You simple upload a photograph of whatever it is you want to sell, write a description and name your price! Then sit back, maybe make yourself a cup of tea and your item will be viewed by fashionistas around the globe.

You don't even have to pay to list your item. Any fees are taken after you have made any money.

If you're looking to turn this into a business then, if you're lucky, Asos may let you open your own cyber boutique on the Asos Marketplace website!

So why not give it a go. It costs nothing to start!
