Head to Ascension for Jeans and a Story or Two

I'm about to fall asleep. There's a large bag of candy corn in bed with me. And I'm trying to decide if I should buy these jeans from Ascension, an online British ethical and ecological shop ... I mean, I AM in desperate need of mainland-friendly clothing (I'm moving back one day!), they're on sale, and they're all kinds of good:

The Kundalini Womens Jean, on sale from £60 to £18, and only in my size. PLUS the cotton is grown organically, the rivets and buttons are certified something fancy, they're made with natural indigo dye, and 5 percent of profits go to education in reforestation. Ohhh, socially conscious online shopping, you are a temptress.

Not to mention I then also found this coat:

The Barbella Coat, also offered in brown, on sale from £125 to £55. And it's made by Komodo, which "is a member of Made-By, the first fashion initiative that focuses on environmental & working conditions throughout the production chain." Oh yeah, the coat is made in Nepal. And it has pockets.

While I can't necessarily vouch for the rest of online shop Ascension's offerings, they do have some of the most transparent and inspiring stories behind the pieces they have to offer. Major props. Check them out for yourselves here.

Now I'm going to get back to snuggling with my candy corn, cavities be damned. G'nite, all!
