Girlie Green

I found this dhlovelife video blog series from Daryl Hannah a few years ago. Each episode focuses on being green. This one video below about makeup, beauty products & fashion really had an effect on me. It's a must watch! Actually the whole series really is a must watch. The part about the lipstick blew my mind & totally grossed me out. You can find the rest of the dhlovelife videos here.

Vegan Fashion Icon: Zooey Deschanel

*When I first did this post Zoey was vegan but it has since come to my attention that she is no longer vegan due to food sensitivities. Which makes no sense to me but to each their own right? I still really love her as an actress & singer. Also we can take solace in the fact that her sister Emily Deschanel is vegan and a huge supporter of animal right causes she even recently had a vegan wedding!*

This look is inspired by the very talented and adorable vegan actress and musician Zooey Deschanel. I'm a huge fan of hers and I love her band She & Him!
