Pretty Summer Vegan Dresses
 

This season’s hottest and most wearable fashion trend is the dress. You’ll see them everywhere, and they’re extremely flattering, comfortable, and versatile. And that’s not all. The majority of spring/summer dresses are vegan. What a coup! So many women are supporting cruelty-free dressing without even knowing it. Of course, what we’d ideally like is for them to make it a conscious choice, but maybe next year! In the meantime, you can be fashionable and compassionate, too. Here’s what we have to choose from:

Photos: Nordstrom

The Floral Dress: Forget those little, cutesy flowers. This season the florals are elegant, sophisticated, and stunning. Many of them are what are called “watercolor” florals because the design resembles the brushstrokes of a watercolor painting. It’s the perfect way to celebrate summer! Just be careful. This is the one category of dress where you will find quite a few made in silk as opposed to other more vegan-friendly fabrics. Some examples include the Komarov Pleated Floral Dress and the Maggy London Floral Sateen Sheath Dress, both from Nordstrom.
 

The Maxi Dress: Think 1970’s. Hippy meets 2009 trendy 20-somethings. That is what the maxi dress is all about. Although anyone can wear it (cautiously), it’s really designed for the younger crowd, and is meant to be worn with pretty, summery flat sandals… vegan, of course! Some examples include the Zinc Slip Knot Maxi Dress and the AK Anne Klein Dip Dye Maxi Dress, both from Nordstrom.
 

The Casual Dress: Dresses are no longer exclusively worn for work or for dressy occasions. They are now the go-to outfit for a day about town or even lounging at home. Often made out of cotton, linen, or a comfy knit rayon/spandex, they usually slip over your head and are super comfortable. Some examples include the Bailey 44 Acid Test Flip Flop Dress and the Tommy Bahama Kailua Jersey Dress, both from Nordstrom.
 

The White Dress: Since the summer season is so short, now is the time to wear white, and white dresses are everywhere. They’re pretty, airy, and oh, so summery. Of course, you have to beware of the see-through factor, so choose wisely. Some examples include the Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Twist Strap Pleated Dress and the Maggy London Matte Jersey Bubble Dress, both from Nordstrom.

Vegan counseling... for a positive change in your life

You've probably heard a lot in the news recently about reasons to give up meat and animal products in your diet. Being vegan is healthier, it's better for the environment, and better for animals. But you're still eating meat, eggs & dairy. Why? If you've always thought about becoming vegan, but for some reason - spouse, family, peer pressure, the media - haven't
done so yet, our Salem Vegan Counseling sessions for individuals and families will help
you to more easily transition from consuming animal products to a more healthy, holistic
vegan lifestyle. Private counseling sessions last approximately 1 hour. No pressure. Receive personalized vegan and animal rights counseling and support from experienced vegans who have already made the transition. Free Vegetarian Starter Kit included. Phone or email SVS to schedule a free, personal vegan counseling session. For directions to the Salem Access Television building. About SATV.

July 3 - 31: Pandemic Prevention

 

SVS Presents: Fridays at 10 PM on SATV in Salem

 

The role of domestic chickens in the emergence of bird flu

This July, Salem Vegan Society, in cooperation with the HSUS, Dr. Michael Greger, and Salem Access Television, is proud to present to Salem residents the acclaimed presentation, Pandemic Prevention, updated by the HSUS in 2008, and presented by Dr. Greger. In an engaging multimedia presentation, Greger traces the emergence of pathogens from the human-animal interface and suggests ways to reduce the likelihood of future pandemics. Filmed in Washington, DC,
before a live audience. According to Ronald Atlas, co-director of the Center for Health Hazards Preparedness, "Dr. Greger's talk on the looming threat of an avian pandemic is gripping and graphic. He addresses the public health issues and provides a perspective that many have not yet heard. His presentation received very positive feedback from physicians, researchers, and public health workers.
His focus on the role of domesticated chickens in the emergence of highly pathogenic influenza viruses was thought provoking and has engendered much discussion on the appropriate policy issues to reduce the threat." Suitable for all viewers.
