About Me

My photo
Style Destino is my personal style space bout cruelty-free and vegetarian style. Fashion is not above someone's life and it is irresponsible when someone makes a fashion choice that involves taking a poor animal's life. I believe in style that has a conscience. We are in 21st century where technology has advanced immensely, there are myriad options available and any person with a desire can make things happen. So it is sheer selfishness and irresponsible behaviour when people make unethical fashion choices. Through StyleDestino I share everything cruelty-free and ethical in my style. I do not use any handbags, shoes or accessories made from leather (animal skin), the make-up I use is also vegetarian and cruelty free. Luxury and compassion can coexist stylishly and Style Destino is an attempt to prove just that. Vegan fashion is not about dowdy clothes, cheap bags, or tawdry shoes. I can just easily be vegan and trot in my Olsen heels, sporting a Stella McCartney luxurious vegan handbag while showing off my red lips painted with OCC lip tar!! I travel the world around and never find dearth of stylish, high quality vegetarian fashion.

The 5 Best Eco-Friendly Vegan Sneakers That Are Stylish & Cool

The 5 Best Eco-Friendly Vegan Sneakers That Are Stylish & Cool

As a self-proclaimed shoe addict, I'm super picky when it comes to shoe shopping. A stylish pair that fits well is just the starting point. I want shoes that are also vegan, eco-friendly, sustainable, and I love it when they have innovative design. Shoes should combine style and sustainability - its not a choice of one over the other. However, one common problem with sustainable fashion is that most of their products do not score well on style and many-a-times they are not vegan. Eco-conscious sneakers, including most leather-free styles, are not vegan-friendly because the glues used in the construction is derived from animals. It's the same with the dyes. So it can be challenging to especially find eco-conscious sneakers that are also vegan. Fortunately, there are some shoes brands that have successfully created sneakers that look good, feel good and do good. These sneakers are not only made with vegan materials but also use sustainable materials like recycled plastic &a

How ethical is your fine jewelry?

How ethical is your fine jewelry?

Jewelry, especially fine, has a special place in every woman's wardrobe. There's something about jewelry that evokes a certain emotion or energy. I've always appreciated a finely crafted piece of precious jewelry because I know it's going to be with me forever. However, we rarely pay heed to the environmental and social risks involved in producing the jewelry. At a time when clean eating and conscious clothing are gaining traction, it's also important to find out where our gold and diamonds are coming from. Until recently, I was unaware of the dirty practices of the gold and diamond mining industry. Industrial gold mining destroys landscapes and creates huge amount of toxic waste (particularly mercury). Gold mining is the leading source of man-made mercury pollution in the world. In case you're wondering what is wrong with mercury, be known that it is a potent neurotoxin that harms the brains, muscles and vital organs of adults and especially children

True Luxury Has Nothing To Do With Brand Logos - Quality & Craftsmanship Defines Luxury

True Luxury Has Nothing To Do With Brand Logos - Quality & Craftsmanship Defines Luxury

Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it is luxurious. As someone who has always appreciated the quality and craftsmanship of a product, along with the exceptional service it comes with, I have started questioning the meaning of modern world luxury. At one point in time, luxury meant creating something beautiful and it relied on limitations of production and the value of rarity and scarcity. Unfortunately, the true essence of luxury is {almost} lost in the modern world. The globalization of luxury means that even the so-called luxury brands have cut down the quality and started overproducing goods in a race to boost profit. The ubiquitous luxury goods, which were once a true piece of art have been reduced to machine-made items, often made in China, with no focus on craftsmanship. You're paying more for something that's not exclusive (for example the current trending luxury bag's ubiquity is almost sickening to me sometimes), is inferior quality and often

6 Well-Known Brands That Are Sustainable

6 Well-Known Brands That Are Sustainable

The fashion industry is hands-down one of the most unethical and wasteful industries in the world. The harsh reality is, both consumers and producers are to blame for its state. We are buying 5 times as much fashion as we did in the 1980s and are trashing on an average about 13 million tones each year, most of which is never really recycled and ends up in the landfills. Wasteful fast-fashion brands play a big role in fueling this culture. They are not only infamous for causing irreversible damage to the planet but are also exploiting the workers and the animals in the process. As a fashion consumer, I started my journey to be more ethical when it comes to my wardrobe choices. Fortunately, on this course, I have come across several brands that are trying to break the fast-fashion mold and creating beautiful collections that are ethically made. In fact, many well-known {conventional} brands are also making an effort to be more responsible and adopting sustainable practices. Whi

4 Simple Ways To Make A Sustainable Purchase & Be An Ethical Consumer

Wearing Rhumaa Jacket, Nudie Vegan Jeans, Stella McCartney Shoes The resurgence of conscious living is making us consider our everyday choices. From food to fashion, there’s a dire need for us to switch to a more sustainable lifestyle to save the planet and for our health.     For those seeking to transform the concept of a green lifestyle from aspirational to achievable, there couldn’t have been better times. There are several companies committed to better practices making the life of ethical consumers less complicated than it was a few years ago. As an ethical consumer, our buying decisions are based not just on the quality and usefulness of products, but also on the ethical policies of the companies who sell them. Until a few years back, getting hold of a company’s ethical policy and information about their working practices was very challenging. Fortunately, things are much transparent now. With the help of organizations that are pushing the case of sustainability like

#WhoMadeMyClothes and Why This Campaign Is Important?

#WhoMadeMyClothes and Why This Campaign Is Important?

Have you ever wondered what goes behind those fashion labels? How and where your clothes are made and what happens to people who make them? Most shoppers are unaware of the exploitation {in the fashion industry} that goes behind that beautiful garment hanging on a rack. When globalization started in the fashion industry, its goal was to provide consumers with lower-cost clothing, while creating jobs in less prosperous parts of the world. It was kind of a perfect win-win solution. But unfortunately, it hasn’t quite worked out that way. The fashion industry somehow got mixed up in a system that includes harming, enslaving and even killing people. Yes, while millions of jobs have been created in developing countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, and many others, the working conditions of the labour in these parts of the world are less than humane. To put things in perspective, a garment worker in Bangladesh is paid an average salary of less than $60 a month. Most of these workers

Upgrade Your Jewelry Game Because Sustainability Just Got Cooler

Upgrade Your Jewelry Game Because Sustainability Just Got Cooler

When it comes to styling a look, there's no denying that a piece of jewelry can immediately spruce up the look. Whether it is a pair of beautiful earrings that instantly lights up your face or a statement necklace that'll turn a simple tee-jean look from drab to glam - there's something about jewelry that every woman loves. In my journey towards creating a more  ethical wardrobe , I have lately become quite fascinated with ethical jewelry brands. I love the fact that designers are getting more creative with their designs in terms of sustainability. From jewelry made from recycled bomb casing collected from war struck Laos by Brooklyn-based Article22 (Peace Bombs collection) to those from crashed luxury cars by U.S. based Crash - when you look up for ethical jewelry brands, you'd be surprised with the choices and will fall in love with their beautiful pieces. Crash  is, in fact, one of my favorites. They make jewelry from upcycled metal sourced from luxury cars, t

Stepping into New Year, believing in myself and the power of good. All sparkle and shine.

Ethical brands in Dubai can be harder to find, not always fitting the pocket and shopping online can s

Currently Coveting: 3 Vegan Handbags That Are Chic & Functional

Discovering upcoming vegan brands and new hi-tech leather alternatives  has  become my passion lately. I am always on the lookout for eco-conscious and cruelty-free brands for my wardrobe and am glad to share my current favorite vegan handbags with you.  Melie Bianco This PETA approved accessories brand from LA has become one of the most known vegan brands. Their handbags are high on style and ethics, and the best part is they aren't too heavy on the wallet either (unlike most ethical vegan brands). What I love most about Melie Bianco is their wide collection, which is always on-trend and super stylish. I got this stylish boxy crossbody from them recently and it has become my favorite go-to bag. It instantly upgrades even the simplest of outfit with its buckle and stud detailing and is roomy enough to stow in all the essentials. How eco-conscious is Melie Bianco? It isn't the most eco-friendly alternative out there, although it is vegan and sweatshop free. The material
