[WATCH OUT]: Vegan Timepieces

A friend recently told me that she saw a watch she loved but then found out the straps were made from leather. Lately, I've been so pleased that my friends and family have approached me and started talking about vegan options and discussing the alternatives. When I first started this blog, all I wanted to do was inform my friends, family and readers about animal friendly options when it came to fashion as I found people just really weren't aware (much like I was a few years ago). Hearing my friend's frustration in finding out that the watch she really wanted was made from leather 1) made me incredibly happy knowing that there are kind and caring people out there that would love to avoid buying animal products and 2) gave me a fantastic idea for a blog post.
