Meilily Beauty & Style News!
Luxury goods giant LVMH recently purchased a minority stake in Edun, the relatively small fair trade clothing company started by U2 frontman Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson. This is a good move by LVMH, which already owns a stake in many established fashion, beauty, and luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, De Beers, Sephora, Givenchy, and Guerlain.

Meilily Loves: Artisanal Shoe Shopping at farfetch.com

Meilily: Farfetch Shoes
Farfetch.com promises to fetch visitors the best and brightest of goodies from around the globe, delivered directly from far-off locales. Therefore, the site features one of the most interesting selections of shoes, clothing, and accessories around.
Though even the sale items at farfetch.com may be too expensive to splurge on at the moment, the sale section, particularly the sale shoe section, is definitely worth an inspirational peek once in a while.
For example, on my last visit, I was awed by the artistic construction of purple suede pumps by Chie Mihara (from Maison Nipi, Vigevano), the angled ergonomics of calf-length boots by Opening Ceremony (from SIX, London), and the scalloped classiness of gray patent leather peep toe heels by Emporio Armani (also from Maison Nipi).
Btw, last time I visited farfetch.com, they even had the Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon shoes featured by Meilily in salmon, but unfortunately they sold out. Farfetch.com still has other unique Melissa shoes though, like the oddly appealing Mistrey by Melissa rubber gladiator sandals.

Victoria’s Secret Goes Au Natural: Introducing Naturally Victoria’s Secret + Free Tote Offers
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 | Free Stuff, Product Launches, Skincare, Stores | Comments Off on Victoria’s Secret Goes Au Natural: Introducing Naturally Victoria’s Secret + Free Tote Offers
Introducing Naturally Victoria
Meilily Free Stuff Alert!
While the name “Victoria’s Secret” and the term “natural beauty” may not be totally synonymous, lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret may now be trying to change that with the launch of their new natural beauty line called Naturally Victoria’s Secret.
The Naturally line, available now in stores and online starting April 1, is supposed to feature products with natural ingredients in five light scents, though as yet it is still unclear to me what else they might be bringing to the table when it comes to natural beauty products. (I guess I will just have to check out the line in person and post here later!)
So, to kick off the launch of Naturally, Victoria’s Secret is giving customers free stuff when they purchase Naturally Victoria’s Secret products in stores. (The gift with purchase is valued at $38.)
What: Free Tote & Deluxe Samples with $25 Naturally Victoria’s Secret Purchase
When: March 24 – April 4, 2009
Where: At Victoria’s Secret Stores Only (not online)
Victoria’s Secret has been selling beauty products made by other brands alongside their own beauty products for a while now, but the launch of the Victoria’s Secret Naturally line may be an indication that Victoria’s Secret is › Continue reading

30% off Envirosax Reusable Shopping Bags at Greenloop!
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 | Product Picks, Sales, Stores | Comments Off on 30% off Envirosax Reusable Shopping Bags at Greenloop!
Meilily Sale Alert and Product Pick!
Meilily Loves Envirosax Reusable Shopping Bags
Greenloop, a “green” online shop, is currently having a fantastic 30% off sale on Envirosax bags, the best reusable shopping bags ever! If I were to make a list of products that have actually made my life way easier, I would put Envirosax Reusable Shopping Bags on the list.
What: Greenloop 30% Off Envirosax Sale + Free Shipping Offer
Greenloop Free Shipping Code: BYOB09
When: Until February 2, 2009
Envirosax reusable bags are roomy, durable, attractive, and also very easy to store. I can attest to stuffing these full of heavy groceries without any problem. The Envirosax bags are made of lightweight polyester, printed using a non-fading process, and are supposed to be waterproof. Another thing that sets the Envirosax shopping bags apart from other bags is their self-closing feature (you can’t see it in product photos)- Just roll up a bag and the snap closure loops attached to the bottom wrap easily around the bag for compact storage. › Continue reading
