How We Wear It : Volume XXI

Are you ready for this! How We Wear It is back, and we’re so excited to bring you this exciting announcement…Cri is venturing into Vegan Fur Outerwear!! We have a preview of the shaggy cropped vests below, and can’t wait to showcase the jackets, coats and other vests we have in store for all of our Cri de Coeur friends.

We are very excited to also welcome the newest member to our team, Summer Rose. She is only 3 months old, but we know she will be a valuable asset to our company. She already spends a lot of time at the studio staring at our lovely Fall Collection and brainstorming new ideas. We can’t wait until she speaks our language. But for now, we’ll have to try and read her mind. Congratulations to Gina who had a lot to do with bringing her aboard. We hope you enjoy these pics!! We are always looking for fresh images to post, so send them to julie@cri-de-coeur.com. We are at the tradeshows this month trying to expose the mainstream market with our green meets high-end message. Wish us luck!

THE BEST “GO VEG” READING FOR 2012

We wanted to give you some great reading recommendations for those who want to learn a little bit more about the vegan diet and why it can literally change your mood, change your body & change the world. As we are fast approaching February of the new year, we want to remind those who are thinking of taking the plunge into a vegetarian or vegan diet to go easy on themselves. It didn’t happen for us overnight, but it did happen, and we want it to happen for you too! We couldn’t have done it without the guidance and love of our veggie community, lots of reading material and video, films and documentaries on the subject. We used these tools to motivate, help us plan and guide us through the transition. If you do one thing, pick one of these 10 books and start reading. You’ll see the shift in attitude is all you need to be propeled into your new, clean life.

10.  The Food Revolution by John Robbins

9. Skinny Bastard by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin

8. The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan

** Pollan is not exactly an advocate for going entirely veg, but he gives us plenty to think about!
 

7.  Meat is for Pussies by John Joseph

6. The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone

5. Veganist by Kathy Freston

4. Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

3. Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin

2. The China Study by T. Colin Campbell

1. Forks Over Knives by Gene Stone

Enjoy!

the cri girls

2011 Holiday Gift Guide from Cri de Coeur

We are happy to present the Cri de Coeur

Holiday Gift Guide 2011

In light of spreading good cheer, we  would love to offer you some gift choices that are 100% vegan. We know there is no such thing as the perfect eco-conscious gift, as these generous times usually involve paper waste, plastic, importing, fuel, cheap labor, etc… but every conscious effort helps, and we feel that doing our individual part helps lighten the load.  So here are our cruelty-free picks for the holiday season for your loved ones to enjoy!

Faux shearling/faux leather short jacket from Ann Taylor

Ear muffs 100% vegan from ASOS

Stolen Girlfriends Club Faux fur jacket

Frozen bangle by Pamela Love for Top Shop

Pamela Love, for that really special gift.... we mean *really* special

Cocoa V : All Vegan chocolate!!

Sweet n Sara vegan treats and gift baskets, with goodies such as this marshmallow snowman...

Possess faux leather bootie by Hearts of Darkness

Faux fur vest from National Jean Company

Juice Beauty Vegan Skin Care LIne : Cleanse & Glow kit

Green dollhouse from Plan Toys

Faux sheepskin round rug from Ecofo

OR…

You can PLANT A TREE, SPONSOR A RESCUED ANIMAL or DONATE TO CHARITY in your loved one’s name… It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Not only can your recipient not argue with that, they won’t have to return that plaid scarf or find a place for another picture frame.

Until next time, we wish you all a safe and happy holiday…

xx,

the cri girls
