Good For the Globe
Did you know that April is Earth Month? I love finding pieces that are not only stylish but also good for the environment. That’s why I was SOOO excited when Bloomingdale’s reached out to me about featuring their Carousel… a special pop-up shop that changes every couple of months… called Good For The Globe.
The Good For The Globe Carousel has eco-friendly and socially conscious products, including everything from games made out of recycled fishing nets to jackets made from vintage fabric…to jeans that use less water.
Faithfull The Brand Top
How gorgeous is this bright green top by Faithfull The Brand! I’m not big on florals, but I love the sophisticated and simple floral print on this top! It’s very feminine and pretty. And, the color is such a standout! The wrap style makes it quite flattering and I like the cute tie sleeve detail. All of Faithfull the Brand products are designed, sourced and produced in Bali using handmade techniques such as hand-dying and hand-printing.
Veja
Another brand that I’m a BIG fan of… Veja sneakers. I bought this pair of sneakers about six months ago and featured them in my monthly favorites video here. Every part of these chic sneaks is made with mother earth in mind. The cotton is from an organic farm in Brazil, where no pesticides are used. The rubber is sourced from the Amazon using traditional techniques. And, you will find FULL transparency on the site that shows you where every material comes from.
Levi’s Jeans
Did you know that Levi’s jeans are environmentally conscious? Not to mention stylish. I love them so much, I bought TWO pairs! 50% of Levi’s products are made with “Water Less” techniques. That is exactly what it sounds like, they use less hot water to wash them. Levi’s has saved more than 1.8 billion liters of water and 129 million liters of recycled water.
The jeans I’m wearing above are the popular 721 Skinny Jeans in Rugged Indigo. If you are not a fan of distressing there are plenty of Levi’s with no holes or rips. I’m 5’4” and these jeans run a little long, but I think they look great cuffed. If you are taller (around 5’7″) the length should be perfect!
Shop all Levi’s here.
Another Pair of Levi’s
The second pair of Levi’s are the white Wedgie Icon Tapered Jeans. They have a funny name but they’re SO cute! The tapered leg is something fresh and ne. And. I really like the frayed hem. In the detailed shot of these jeans, you can see the cool distressing details throughout the legs. These cropped jeans are the perfect length to highlight all your cute spring shoes!

Kayu Bag
If you don’t already have a woven bag for spring…you should get one! They are one of the “It” bags for spring/summer! This chic one by Kayu is a great size, has a beautiful versatile, natural color, and has a modern double ring handle. Kayu is part of the Good For The Globe Carousel because they use locally-sourced and natural materials like straw, shells, and recycled wood. The products are also handmade by local artisans using indigenous techniques!

Erin,
Hi my name is Diana and i just happen to be going trough my phone and found you. You have saved my life. I have been disabled since 2009 and fashion was a huge part of my life before i got a Staph infection from a Dr in my KNEE and several months later was Diagnosed with SEVERAL autoimmune Disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia neuropathy ,myalgia congestive heart failure i have had a knee replacement and both shoulders Rotater Cuffs are full tears. As well as had 2 surgeries on my right knee now praying God will heal it in time for a trip in July. I worked for Estee Lauder as a makeup artist at neiman marcus ,Marshall fields, lord and taylor, sakowitz and Saks Fifth Avenue. Then worked Estee lauder and Clinique at Foleys now Macys for 34 YEARS.I even met Leonard Lauder on several occasions to my store.
I loved my Job and my CUSTOMERS. Since being disabled sick and depressed not wantimg to leave my house anymore feeling like i have completely lost my sense of style. Then i found you i am so thankful for you and your videos. You look great! Your videos are really good your real not trying to be SOMEOne else,your caring and your suggestions are GREAT.I did subscribe to YOUR emails. somehow i cant seem to find the SHOPPING websites that have everything down to brand name fragrance to Pandora JEWELRY. There is this one website that had everything and i LOVED it. I have been back thru the emails and still cant find the websites. So if it is possible would you mind sending me the websites i would really appreciate IT.On a great note since eatching your videos I have managed to try to reorganize my closet as well as lost 25 pounds and will be taking my first trip to The Holy Land with my parents who just turned 80yrs old and a group from our CHURCH. Mary Queen in Friendswood,Texas so now im getting ready to get my clothes together so i can look in fashion. This trip will be a 13 day trip starting with a 4 day cruise in Greece then to the holy land. I have been married for 30 years and have two boys colin who is 24 yrs old and Cameronis 16 i have never left the country before but feel like i need to spend some time with my PARENTS so i am really looking forward to this trip. I do have some concerns about what to pack. My parents travel all the time and just got back from Russia. My mom says you can only take 4-5 pairs of pants. So any tips on what to pack would be great. I am also trying to hunt down the most comfortable shoes,sneaker to wear. My right foot i am bone on bone so any suggestions would be great. I really want to be able to enjoy this trip while looking great . because when i get back i have to have a knee replacement on my right knee. The most important thing that i want YOU to know is Thanks to you im getting out of bed and look forward to all the exciting tips and fashion you bring to all of us everyday. Your videos are great and have made me feel alive for the first time sine 2009. I look forward to hearing from you soon. My trip is July 10-23 i also feel like the last time everyone at our church last saw me i was down and sad so im really looking forward to getting back in style. Thank you Erin so much for all you do and the time you spend making THESE videos. Thank you again,God bless you! Diana Genoa Oconnor
What is the sizing of the green top? Love the color but on the site it seems like it runs small. Just want to make sure. I usually get a small but may need to size up on this one. 34C bust.
Yes… runs small. I wish I had ordered medium and I am typically a small. Size UP
Erin, you’d look good in a paper bag. I appreciaTe your style wisdom!
I really don’t, Cindy. But you are sweet to say so. Thanks for stopping by! Erin xo
