Grey can be happy too

AmyKathryn joins style and animal friendliness (including friendliness to you and your bank account) into one cute bag. If you love (but can't quite swing) a Mat & Nat or a Stella, see if any of these vegan bags suit your style. Go to alternativeoutfitters.com and browse through their diverse collection. Or, go on ebay and search "mat nat" and see if you can find any affordable treasures.

Babaii

It's beautiful to be good. Hair care for a cause! 10% of profits go to WildAid. No parabens, sulfites, petrochemicals, animal testing or animal products. Even the bottles are made from recycled/non-virgin materials. I certainly hope this starts a trend! The hopes of having a boho mane like Kate Hudson makes this idea even sweeter.

Dolce

There are mountains of cookbooks to adore, and my fave right now is La Dolce Vegan. The author Sarah Kramer is stylish, witty and makes reading a cookbook fun. Oh, and the food is fantastic. The Coconut Curry Red Lentil Soup is a weekly occurrence at my place- I add all the vegetables in the fridge and a can of garbanzo beans to it and skip the blender.

Ginger Soap

What is more yummy than ginger? Ginger in the bathtub.
This soap is by Sweet Petula and is made in small batches with olive oil, pure essential oils and colored with calendula petals.

Chic Chef

Love these bright, fun and empire waisted (yessssss!) aprons from Sassy Strings. They even have a stylin' droopy bow in the back. The cupcakes won't be the only thing that's sweet and piping hot in the kitchen. Check out all the colors on etsy.com seller ohsosassy. Sassy sweet.

Your Inner Ninja

Sweet on the outside, ninja underneath. Inspire your inner kick-ass with this handmade keychain by Kamibashi. Meet the whole String Doll Gang- from angelic to punk at www.kamibashi.com/dolls/stringdolls. Each one is made by hand in Thailand from a single piece of string. Stringtastic!

Button Fingers

My first post and latest obsession are vintage button rings- upcycled and range from funky to classic depending on your personal style. Add a little spice to any ensemble. Check out etsy.com and search "vintage button rings" these shown are by Manic Trout.
