It's easy being Green, but it is just as easy to kind. Choosing clothing, shoes, and make-up that are animal-friendly are becoming the 'In' fashion. The top designers are coming together in hopes of trashing the old ways and bringing some furry-friend-friendly alternatives to leather, fur, feathers, and other forms of animal skin. Pleather in an absolute must-have when you want a leather look-and-feel but you can't hurt the cow to do it. There are many top dollar shoe designers that use soft vinyl for their creations.

Make-up can be highly controversial depending on which blogs you happen to come across; it is scary when you realize the exact amount (and which companies still…) endorse, use, and try to protect the tortures of animal testing for cosmetics and other skin care products. There are many companies that have changed their ways and banned animal testing on their products by dubbing it as 'unethical torture'.

One of the best accessories that ever existed is the hand-bag, the purse, the clutch, ect. The options for animal friendly purses are endless.
