Welcome to my sustainable lifestyle blog!
This blog is for people who are eager to make a change in their lives to become a more conscious consumer through the things they put on their body, the clothes they wear, and the food they eat.
The Nature of Style will chronicle my personal experience with that change and aims to help you do right by yourself, by the Earth, and by others.
I recently took the plunge into the world of natural and organic beauty, fair trade and ethical fashion, green – certified restaurants, and much more. It changed the way I view a lot of things, and especially, how I consume products and spend my money. I hope to bring motivation and information to those looking to create a new lifestyle with me.
Through days of arduous research and lots of personal experimentation, I hope this blog can be used as a resource for product recommendations, lifestyle choices, and accurate information about sustainability and other topics.
My goal is simple: to create a community who support each other and the movement to take sustainable living from niche to norm.
Welcome to The Nature of Style!
About Me
My name is Anne and I am from Portland, OR. When I got into sustainable fashion and natural beauty, it was purely a personal experiment. As a frequent consumer of fashion and beauty products, I came to the conclusion that I needed to make a major change in my life. My skin and my wallet were begging me to do so.
Enter: The Nature of Style.
I have been personally chronicling my experiment with natural beauty up until now, and I really wanted an outlet to share my passion for it. It’s a lifestyle and a choice, but most of all, it’s really fun to see how far I can go with it. Every day, my passion and excitement for natural beauty and fashion grows, and I hope that shows in every post.
When I began, my goal was to become a more conscious consumer both for myself and the environment. Now, I hope to inspire you to do the same!
Behind the Name
I have wanted to start a blog about this topic for awhile. What good is a personal journey if you have no one to share it with? For me, having a supportive community is of paramount importance to personal success.
Style is so much more than fashion or trends. Style is a personal brand. It’s how you walk, talk, sit and stand. Your confidence, your kindness, your drive are all part of the “personal style equation.”
The clothes on our backs and makeup on our faces are just a fraction of our personal style. Every other element of your style is already natural! By adopting a natural beauty routine and finding sustainable and fair trade clothing brands, we will take it all the way.
