In honor of Earth Day, here are my top picks for environmentally-friendly fashion finds, beauty and home products.
Loving my purple Stella McCartney bag!
Stella McCartney bag, $1195.00. Top by Calypso, Rag and Bone jeans, $165. Jil Sander wedge sandals.
Fringe is in and this new version of the Falabella Stella McCartney bag is a great splurge item to spice up your spring wardrobe! All of her bags are vegan-friendly and made of faux leather. Shown here in lapis--also available in silver and black.

Check out these cool, retro sunglasses! They are made with recycled skateboard decks.
A limited-edition, ultrahydrating whipped body butter scented with a subtle African red rooibos tea fragrance. Josie Maran's signature ingredient, 100% Pure Argan Oil, is spun into a unique creamy butter. Additionally, 10 percent of the proceeds of this product will be donated to the Imagine Initiative to support women’s empowerment.
Made from 100% naturally derived soy wax and infused with organic lavender, the Aveda limited-edition candle is more than just another green product that smells great—it’s charitable as well. 100% of the proceeds go to Global Greengrants, a group that funds projects to help protect water rights and access around the world.
What better way to drink wine than from a stemless glass made from unique yet wonderfully worn automotive glass? The design is modern and chic, and each glass is a one-of-a-kind in its own way with air bubbles and varying thicknesses and textures. They are sturdy and strong with a slight green hue—just like that of a windshield.
