Go Green, Gorgeous

In honor of Earth Day, we went on a search for ways to be stylish and green. We all rely on some pretty harmful chemicals for our daily clothing, hair and makeup products. We found plenty of cute goodies that aren’t harmful to the planet and go easy on your purse.

Sound impossible? We managed, and found some new faves along the way. Mama Earth will thank you.


The Perfect Tee
American Apparel is taking a bunch of steps toward a healthier environment. This tee uses 100% USDA Certified Organic and pesticide-free cotton. American Apparel also swears by low-impact dyes and recycle scrap fabric into new garments. And, yeah, the list goes on. The best part? Their threads are crazy stylish, which means ya don’t have to sacrifice looks.



A Super Scrub
We’re diggin’ the new line of Eco Tools beauty products that splashed across our desks. All of their items are made from natural and recycled materials, so they’re luxurious for us and great for the environment. This buffer exfoliates skin with walnut shells, buffing away dead cells and keeping your bod looking as radiant as ever. Saving the earth never felt this great!



The Sweetest Balm
Yes! We have a crush on Lush. They use organic fruits and veggies, safe synthetics, little or no preservatives, and only vegetarian ingredients. This balm has killer ingredients in it, like white chocolate. Perf for a kiss with a hot honey.


Honey Trap Lip Balm, $7, lushusa.com

Simply Sizzlin’ Sandals
These kicks are anything but simple: adorable vegan shoes are now a reality. The brand relies on synthetic and safe materials, recycled paper and water-based glues. You can walk tall, knowing you’re saving the environment and lookin’ fly at the same time.
