These counterfeiters never stop!

Four Chinese shipments of 20,000 fake Christian Louboutin shoes were stopped by U.S. federal customs officials on Tuesday.

Reportedly, these red-soled shoes were going to be sold at swap meets and on websites, but despite being fakes, they could have made sellers $18 million!

Since the imitations are so good, they’re going to be destroyed. Sadsies!

Anyone up for a knock-off bonfire? Anyone? Bueller?

Say it ain’t so Urban Decay!

The makeup company has made a huge deal out of the fact that their products are cruelty free, even putting the slogan “We don’t do animal testing. How could anyone?” on everything they sell.

The company posted a statement on their Facebook saying

Being green is about to get a whole lot easier!

This fall British retailer Marks & Spencer will release what they're calling the most sustainable suit IN THE WORLD!

The greenest suit to ever grace God's green earth is made from organic wool and lined with material made from recycled plastic bottles.

The suit pockets, waistband, and all labels were created using recycled polyester and the buttons are all reclaimed.

Impressive.

The sustainable suits will set you back $550, which is a great price considering all the hard work it takes to piece together. However, only 500 suits have been produced, which means they are ecologically exclusive!

But don't worry! If you can't get your hands on this one when it hits stores and online in September, M&S plans to release a variety of sustainable clothes throughout the year.

Thoughts?!?
