Deck the Halls with Sustainable Chic: Your Ultimate Christmas Style Guide
Festive Magic and Sustainable Elegance: A Match Made at ÎLE KEKERE
Well, hello there, my style savvy friend! The fairy lights are twinkling and your festive spirit is ablaze - so let's chat about adding another layer of sparkle to your Christmas soirée. How, you ask? By weaving sustainability into your celebration! In the finesse-filled world of fashion, we've seen an invigorating green wave, with sustainability becoming, as it should, the newest festive trendsetter.
Deck the Halls with Boughs of Style
This season, let’s add a touch of Ethics to our Ensemble, shall we? Opt for divine outfits crafted from eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton or repurposed materials. A velvet dress from that ethical brand you've been pining after, maybe? Or a chic, upcycled jumper that brings out your eyes? By supporting ethical and fair-trade fashion brands, you aren't just strutting in style, but also championing the noble cause of fair wages and benevolent working conditions. Not to forget, giving new life to a loved pre-worn piece from your wardrobe is as eco-chic as can be!
Bauble-liscious Green Touches
Sprinkle your Christmas party with ethereal magic using naturally stylish decorations. Nature's bounty offers a trove of opulent ornaments, be it pinecones, branches, or dried flowers (add some glitter for that fairy glow!). For the crafty goddess in you, recycled materials serve as the canvas to whip up dazzling DIY decorations. From old wrapping-paper wreaths to upcycled garlands, your eco-credentials will shine as bright as your décor. And if DIY isn't your mug of eggnog, why not borrow or rent some stylish, ready-made pieces?
Gifts That Keep On Giving
Sustainable gift-giving ushers in warmth that resonates beyond the festive clangour. As an alternative to physical presents, consider gifting experiences. Spa vouchers, concert tickets, or a pottery class - such gifts are both personal and mindful. If you fancy crafting, a homemade gift brimming with love, or a token from a local artisan, oozes charm and supports the local economy too. There's also something truly special about donating to a charity or adopting a tree on behalf of your recipient, where the spirit of Christmas finds resonance in kindred spirits.
To paraphrase Dickens, let's honour Christmas in our hearts, and try to keep it all the year. This merry season, blend tradition with fashionably sustainable choices. Celebrate with eco-aware style that allows you to be festive yet responsible. After all, the grandeur of a celebration lies not in its extravagance, but in the harmonious spirit it fosters. So, deck your festive season with the finesse of sustainable glamour, and make it a green wonderland to remember– you stylish, eco-warrior, you! 🌲💚✨

The Problematic Nature of the Clean Girl Aesthetic: A Closer Look at Exclusivity and Inclusivity
Imagine, my dear reader, waking up to an Instagram feed swimming in filtered sunlight, pristine linen, and clean beauty, appearing as effortless as spreading organic marmalade on toast. Welcome to the 'clean girl' aesthetic. But let's tap pause on our devices for a moment and ponder – is everything as immaculate as it seems?
The 'clean girl' aesthetic, beautifully packaged in notions of minimalism and natural beauty, has gained quite the adoration in our digital age. However, beneath its glossy surface, it harbours a problematic underbelly, one that perpetuates unattainable beauty standards and leaves a trail of negative self-image in its wake.
Consider, for a moment, the swarm of social media influencers sporting that dew-kissed, rosy-complexioned 'clean girl' look as if they've just emerged from a yoga session in a meadow. This one-sided narrative can silently pressurise us to mould ourselves into a similar mould. Haven't we all had moments whispering, 'Why doesn't my life look that perfect?'
But why chase a monotonous aesthetic, when self-care and beauty can be as unique as your favourite piece of ÎLE KEKERE jewellery? An alternative approach prioritises self-acceptance and self-love, over the relentless pursuit of external validation. Imagine, if self-care encompassed not just clean skincare, but also a clean, judgement-free mind-space.
So, let's exchange thoughts, my darlings. Does this 'clean girl' aesthetic serve your well-being, or is it another trendy mask to wear? Place your thoughts in our virtual jewellery box by responding in the comments, and let's embrace beauty in its authentic, diverse glory.

Ear stacks- a how to guide
Ear stacking is a jewellery trend that has been gaining popularity over the past few years. It's also known as ear piercing stacking or ear piercing layering, and it involves wearing multiple piercings in one ear.
Because this style was inspired by ancient tribal cultures, it has an air of ancient wisdom about it--and some people think that wearing multiple piercings makes them look smarter!
Ear stacking can be done with any number of piercings: two or three are common; four is not unheard of; five is quite rare but not impossible, especially if you're willing to go through all that pain!
