<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am a size 14, 5'10" size 11 shoe wearing vegan - which does not seem to be a problem until I go looking for vegan companies making clothing that fits me and those bigger than me. Did I miss the memo that stated to be vegan you must be a size 6 or smaller? I am bummed that more vegan companies do not make clothing that will fit me - I would so rock a sweet cardigan that said vegan on it or some vegan certified shoes that fit my big feet!
Being a plus size (or in my case I feel trapped between standard and plus - which is OK) does not mean you have to go naked or wear stuff that goes against your animal ethics! Here are some fall/winter trends that you can rock at any size! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=739&productId=50217&color=TAUPE">1. Colorblock Tie Waist Dress </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Color
blocking - not just a catch term if you watch Project Runway! This
dress has the colors of fall balanced perfectly!The tie around your
waist will cinch you in - making your waist look narrow!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=71330&vid=1&pid=864319&scid=864319002">2. Faux-Leather Moto Jackets </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A
(faux) leather jacket is a classic! It can jazz up or tame an outfit
and goes with a lot! I am more of a hoodie girl but know a closet staple
when I see one!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33054&storeId=12553&productId=2229152&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209459&parent_categoryId=209435&pageSize=24%20">3.Evans D Ring Strap Ankle Boots </a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everyone
needs a pair of kick butt boots in their closet. My dilemma is that my
big feet do not match up with my small calves - meaning boots flop on
me. If your legs do not match up with your feet try booties - they make
the sizing gap less obvious! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Collections/DenimBoutique/Skinny/Source-of-Wisdom--Purple-Virtual-Stretch-London-Skinny-Jean-546357.jsp">4. Purple Virtual Stretch London Skinny Jean </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colored
denim is big now! If you are afraid to rock a super strong color go for
a wash of color. These purple tinted jeans are a step up from blue. I
have been rocking a pair of these lately and really like them! </div>
</div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.dominodollhouse.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=249%20">5. Lulu Lepoard Print Dress</a></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
You cannot go wrong with leopard - animal print is hot! Show that you can wear an animal print without it actually being the flesh of an animal! I am a big fan of retro looks and leopard should be my middle name! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Remember that no matter what your size is - appreciate your body and all that it does for you and the animals! </div>

Below are just a few of the fabulous <a href="http://www.lulus.com/categories/179_257_363/vegan-boots.html">vegan boots</a> that LuLu*s recently debuted for the upcoming Fall/Winter season.</div>

This week I'm teaming up with <a href="http://vegancuts.com/">Vegan Cuts</a> to bring you a review of their current <a href="http://vegancuts.com/">deal</a>. This weeks deal features local Ontario natural skincare company <a href="http://www.herbzone.ca/">HerbZone</a> and for the next 4 days over @ <a href="http://vegancuts.com/">Vegan Cuts </a>you can receive 55% off all their body products. These products include beauty masks, hand butters, shower oils, bath melts, natural soaps and much more. Most of HerbZones body products are vegan but there are a few that do contain <a href="http://www.herbzone.ca/search.php?mode=search&page=1">honey</a> so just make sure to read each products ingredients before making a purchase. All of <a href="http://www.herbzone.ca/About-Us.html">HerbZones products</a> are super affordable, 100% natural and made with the highest quality ingredients (no colorants, chemicals or fillers). So without further ado here's my review of a few of their lush vegan bath & body products.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Orange-and-Spearmint-Bubbling-Bath-Melt.html">Orange & Spearmint - Bubbling Bath Mel</a></b><b><a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Orange-and-Spearmint-Bubbling-Bath-Melt.html">t</a> </b><br />
<br />
After a rather busy day I tossed this melt into a hot bath jumped in, sat back and took it all in. After I emerged from the tub I was über relaxed, smelt like orange and had super soft skin. All three results lasted several hrs. Love, love, love this bath melt and I can't wait to try more of HerbZones vegan <a href="http://www.herbzone.ca/BATH-MELTS/">bath melts</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Cinnamon-and-Orange-for-normal-oily-skin.html">Cinnamon & Orange Natural Soap</a></b><br />
<br />
I've been using this soap for about a month and I love it. I always come out of the tub or shower feeling refreshed, smelling sweet and my skin is always super soft. After a month I still have so much soap left that I haven't had a chance to try the other natural soap I order yet. So you'll just have to stay tuned for a review of the <a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Magnolia-and-Rose-Geranium-for-normal-dry-skin.html">Magnolia & Rose Geranium</a> natural soap.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Orange-and-Spearmint-Epsom-Salt-Mineral-Soak.html">Orange & Spearmint - Epsom Salt Mineral Soak</a></b><br />
<br />
After I used this mineral soak I felt relaxed and revived. I also
smelt like orange & spearmint, yum! This soak is defiantly going to
come in handy this winter and I'm super stoked about using it to combat the up coming cold, wet and gloomy winter days.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Hand & Foot Butter:</b> <b><a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Peppermint-and-Eucalyptus-Moisture-Intensive-Hand-and-Foot-Butter.html">Peppermint & Eucalyptus </a>and <a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Neroli-and-Rose-Geranium-Moisture-Intensive-Hand-and-Foot-Butter.html">Neroli & Rose Geranium</a></b><br />
<br />
For a girl that has dry hands & rough feet these butters are now both my
go to hand & foot moisturizers. They both smell fabulous, are super creamy and long lasting. Which in my books are all an A+++. If you
want relief from dry hands & rough feet then you must get your
hands on some of <a href="http://www.herbzone.ca/HAND-BUTTERS/">HerbZone's Hand & Foot Butters</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a class="product-title" href="http://www.herbzone.ca/Lemon-and-Tangerine-Bath-Shower-and-Massage-Oil.html">Lemon & Tangerine - Bath, Shower & Massage Oil</a></b><br />
<br />
This stuff is great you can either add a cap full to a hot bath or rub a little into your skin after a shower. It makes your skin feel extra soft and smooth for hrs. It also leaves you smelling awesome for hrs too. Which is perfect for those hot humid days that sometimes don't leave you smelling your best. Just use a little of this oil & you'll stay fresh as a daisy despite the heat for hrs. This oil has come in very handy for me with this summers break into a sweat while standing still kind of weather. Love it!</div>

Trudy Chalmers has a great little collection of vegan statement jewelry but this <a href="https://www.karmavore.ca/shop_item.php?id=2412">Vegan For Life</a> necklace featured below is my favourite. You can find this necklace and the rest of her <a href="https://www.karmavore.ca/search.php?keyword=trudy+chalmers&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0">collection</a> over @ Vancouver vegan boutique <a href="https://www.karmavore.ca/">Karmavore</a>.</div>

When <a href="http://twitter.com/PansyMaiden">Laura</a> from <a href="http://www.pansymaiden.com/">Pansy Maiden</a> told me her new collection <a href="http://shop.pansymaiden.com/category/darling-utility">Darling Utility</a> was inspired by Coco Avant Chanel, she had me at Coco. Being a huge fan of Coco myself I knew that it would be love at first sight with her new designs and as always she did not disappoint. Laura's use of chic shapes, luxurious colours and smooth textures utterly radiate Coco's simple but sophisticated fashion sense. The collection consists of 6 new styles that are made from some of the best cruelty free, eco-friendly and socially responsible materials available. These <a href="http://shop.pansymaiden.com/about-our-fabrics">materials</a> include buttery soft PVC free vegan leather (that doesn't crack), ultrasuede made from recycled plastic bottles and last but not least organic twill. I personally have my eye on her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/72487795/petite-hobo-in-eucalyptus-faux-leather">Petite Hobo Bag</a>, I love that it can be worn as both a shoulder bag and cross body bag.</div>

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloche_hat">Cloche</a> hat was designed in 1908 by milliner <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Reboux">Caroline Reboux</a>. It became the epitome of fashion in the 1920's, a time when not wearing a hat outside your home was considered a faux pas. The shape of the Cloche had a huge influence on woman's hairstyles in the 1920's. Hairstyles like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_cut">Bob Cut</a> & the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eton_crop">Eaton Crop</a> worn by many women in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Twenties">Roaring Twenties</a> helped to showcase the Cloches fitted bell shape. Many large Couture houses of the time even designed Cloche hats to perfectly match their clothing lines. Originally Cloches were made from felt which we all know is not very vegan friendly, however fear not I found a milliner on etsy that makes a few of them out of linen (with vintage buckles!). So if like me you've been longing to own a vegan version of this swell hat then just head on over to Bonnies Knitting to see what she has <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bonniesknitting/search?search_query=Linen+Cloche&search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5274985&shopname=bonniesknitting">listed</a>.
