Fashion Loves Animals: Photo Gallery

Fashion Loves Animals: Photo GalleryPossibly the most feel-good fashion show ever produced, Fashion Loves Animals was a big hit Saturday night.  The show, which was held at SIR Stage 37 in Hell’s Kitchen, featured the VAUTE Couture (like “haute” but vegan) line by Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, shoes by Brave GentleMan and Love is Mighty and accessories by Matt & Natt.  Proceeds from the event and live auction benefited Farm Sanctuary, a non-profit that rescues and protects farm animals.

And, as if that weren’t enough fuzziness, many of the models carried adoptable puppies down the runway.

Puppies were provided by the Humane Society.  The fashion was gorgeous, but these little guys stole the show: Fashion Loves Animals: Photo GalleryWhat do you think?  What’s your favorite outfit?

Happy Earth Day from an Eco Traveler

Since it began in 1970, Earth Day has been dedicated to energizing and informing the world’s citizens about protecting our planet and our future.

Here’s a little preview of the eco spots I’ve visited so far:Happy Earth Day from an Eco TravelerHappy Earth Day from an Eco TravelerHappy Earth Day from an Eco Traveler Continue reading
