Vegetarian Star

The economy is no fun for anybody right now, but the U.S. and international editions of Vogue are trying to brighten your and Wallstreet’s spirits by sponsoring Fashion’s Night Out.

Fashions Night Out takes place this Thursday September 10 and most stores participating in NYC will be open until 11 PM.

It’s meant to encourage people to have a little fun with what they have-and put money back into the economy.

The Stella McCartney store in NYC will have a truck offering vegetarian food outside and also serve sustainable cocktails.

Shopping. Food. Drinks.

Do you really need another reason to get out of your apartment on Thursday evening?

Fashion Night Out is happening in other cities around the world the same evening, including in the UK, Italy, France and Germany.

For more information on how to support your country’s economy, visit Fashions Night Out and watch the clip below.

Stella McCartney just revealed she thinks her mom was one of the greatest in the world.

Not only does Stella admire Linda McCartney, but she aims to be just as free-spirited and compassionate about all life just like dear ol’ mom.

Stella told Harper’s Bazaar:

“She had a strong voice and was very ahead of her time. The connection she made between how people treat animals and the environment is proving to be very significant.”

Stella probably “borrowed” a few things from her mom’s closet now and then.

“I love the way my mother wore clothes. She used to always cut her own hair and wore very little make-up, and she just did things differently. She used to wear odd socks but then she also wore beautiful suits and little dresses with platform shoes. That is sort of how people dress now, so she was very modern and ahead of her time.”

Do you have a parent who influenced your veg lifestyle decisions tremendously?

Ah, the changing of the seasons.

Colored falling leaves, brisk temperatures, and a good excuse to buy a new leather-free handbag!

Vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney has a few goodies coming our for the fall, including the four featured here.

Starting from the top left are the Piercing Convert Shoulder Bag, The Piercing Tote, and The Appaloosa Shoulder Tote, and The Piercing Ruffel Satchel.

Stella’s bags are never at bargain prices (the ones featured above are in the $1,000 range), but she has her niche of fashion savvy fans willing to pay the price so animals don’t have too.

All of the above bags can be ordered through Bergdorf Goodman.

If you have the pocket book size for it, you should consider patronizing them, since they have their share of leather goods (Prada) on the site as well.

How else are we to encourage these guys to stock up on more hideless accessories?

Kate Moss has angered her boyfriend Jamie Hince, by buying a blanket made of rabbit fur.

Hince is reportedly a staunch vegan, and a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Huge conflict has flared up between the pair over what Jamie claims is Kate’s disregard for animal welfare.”

“He is a strict vegan who won’t even touch cow’s milk and is horrified by Kate’s insistence on wearing fur and having it round the home,” the source said of the guitarist in the British rock band The Kills.

This wouldn’t be the first time Kate has disgusted a veggie pal with her choice of furnishings.

Stella McCartney wasn’t too pleased to attend the supermodel’s 35th birthday bash at her home, where Moss has fur rugs and dead animals hanging on the wall.

Treehugger.com has written up a post titled “6 Green Celebrity Product Lines We Can’t Get Enough Of.”

Two of the product lines are produced by veggie stars Ed Begley Jr. and Stella McCartney.

Here is a description of the glass and window cleaner from Begley’s Best.com:

“Begley’s Best contains aqueous detergents and surfactants derived from natural feedstock, complexing agents and food grade certified colorant. It is certified as a biological nutrient by MBDC. ”

In addition, it says the glass cleaner “won’t streak or leave residues,” which might be a downside for you bird lovers (ever watched those commercials where the birds keep running into windows? Wait, not funny. Veg blogging social faux pas)

The all purpose cleaner contains “extracts of pine, maize, fermented sugar cane roots, and olive seeds.” Sounds like it smells heavenly.

Besides Stella McCartney’s clothing and shoe line, the vegetarian fashion designer offers CARE, a line of organic skin products that keep the parabens, petrochemicals, and artificial fragrances that send you to the allergist out.

Visit treehugger.com to find out who the other four celebrities with great green lines are.

Lindsay Lohan is so well known for the forest of critters that lie on her back, she’s even been nominated for the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on the amount of cruel clothing she wears.

Now, she’s been chastised by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney for her wardrobe choice.

Apparently, Stella thinks Lindsay’s been photographed in one animal coat too many.

A source says, “Lindsay wears a lot of Stella’s designs and she doesn’t want to be associated with a high-profile star who insists on wearing animal products.”

A spokeswoman for McCartney says, “She never uses fur and encourages everyone to opt for a vegetarian lifestyle.”

If you like the fur look, but not the killing involved, slip into something made by Donna Salyers’ Fabulous Furs, where every coat is made to look real, but is faker than the bosoms in Hollywood.

Liv Tyler has been spotted carrying her leather-free Stella McCartney Textured Tote bag on more than one occasion, according to bagthatstyle.com.

The daughter of the famous Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler was once rumored to be vegetarian, but all sources and evidence point to her no longer maintaining that diet. She is a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Goodwill Ambassador for the United States.

As for that Stella McCartney bag-it’s on sale at net-a-porter.com. Normally, $1,095, it’s now going for $525.60. Now that’s not entirely pocket change either, but hey, half off? Not bad!

With Paul McCartney’s Meat Free Monday campaign getting so much press, some flexitarians and meat eaters may wonder if they will relentlessly be harassed into total vegetarianism.

Granted, many vegetarians would like this to take place, but Paul’s daughter, Stella McCartney, is reassuring people that the family’s less meat approach is about trying to reduce some of the impact consuming meat has on the planet.

“It’s ok to just give up meat for one day, it doesn’t make you a vegetarian if you hate vegetarians, it doesn’t make you a cranky, hemp wearing pot smoker,” Stella said, in the UK Telegraph. “It’s alright, it’s allowed – it doesn’t make you a kind of the person you don’t want to be. It just means you are doing something positive.”

Of course Stella and the family still adhere to their strict vegetarian values.  But they’re not trying to point fingers at everyone. They just feel everyone should, ahem, “give it up,” at least once a week.

“If everyone gave it up on a Monday it would be more effective than everyone stopping driving their car on a Monday. We are not perfect. It’s so important to get that across because it’s like oh, those bloody Maccas, talking again about not killing cows! It is boring. But the reality is, I like to think I am trying to do my little bit. I will turn off a light when I leave a room; I will turn off a socket if I don’t want to be using the socket. And those are tiny little things.”
