Go Faux!

Bonjour, it's Cara!
Now to start, I feel I must tell you something about me. *ahem* My belief is that animals are not ours to eat, abuse, experiment on, wear, or use for entertainment. I do not eat meat, dairy, eggs (unless they come from my local seller), or any animal derived products. Anyhoo, as winter is sneaking up on us some of you may be looking around for the perfect boots, or that warm and trendy jacket! Unfortunately, most winter outerwear is made with suede, leather, or fur. :[
I decided to do a little online research to find some cute winter wear that uses no animal products! Hopefully you'll like what I found. I encourage you to wear only faux this winter, and check those tags telling you what materials were used for before you buy! Thanks for reading!
