Own A Colour & Help Save A Child's Life!

By Lorna

Yay! Ecogoddess Fashion are now the proud owners of our very own DULUX colour! (please can I get a whoop!?) We are the latest in a whole string of celebs (ha) to buy and name our own colour online. In a genius fundraising idea, Dulux and Unicef have partnered to sell off the naming rights for every single one of the 16.7 million colours that the average  monitor, laptop, tablet and smartphone screen can display. For a donation of just £1, you get to choose a colour, name it whatever you like and then well.... own it. The money goes to Unicef for bringing clean water, education, medical assistance and other aid to children across the world. Pure, Simple, Brilliant!

One happy customer is UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sir Roger Moore."I am the proud new owner of a shade of blue, which I have named Swedish Blue", said Sir Roger.

"It is the colour of the Swedish flag, the homeland of my very wonderful and very beautiful wife, Kristina, and not far off the cyan blue that represents UNICEF. Both Kristina and UNICEF are extremely close to my heart."

TOMS launches Eyewear!!

By Lorna

You know TOMS shoes right? They're the espadrille style shoes stocked in Office. When you buy one pair of TOMS, they also give one to a child in need. Shoes protect these kids from tons of diseases and such a simple idea is saving lives globally. Having reached the massive milestone of 1million pairs given out, TOMS have turned their attention to a new way of addressing a global need - EYEWEAR. TOMS is no longer a shoe company it is now a One for One company. You buy one pair of their sunglasses, someone in the world gets their sight back. Its as simple and effective as that. Truly an amazing example of corporate philanthropy! (I wish I had thought of it!) These 'Classics 101' are my fav...

If you want to read more about how this project came about here is Blake's (the genius behind TOMS) blog post explaining in his very own words... enjoy and feel inspired!
