Looking Good, Doing Good

 

This summer, check out these philanthropically fabulous finds to make a stylish splash while giving back all over the world!

For the conscious beach-goer: This season, eye-catching totes will surely be dotting the shores all over the East Coast and beyond. Take this opportunity to shine and make a difference with a sweetly sequined tote from United by Blue. This totally organic cotton carry-all – decked out in classic nautical tones – not only holds all the gear you need for a day by the water, but also benefits the ocean itself. For every single product they sell, United by Blue promises to remove a pound of trash from the deep blue sea.

For the rugged fashion icon: When the sun begins to shine, no brand spells classic summer fun quite like Ralph Lauren – and when it comes to versatile comfort and inspired philanthropy, no one does it like TOMS Shoes! This summer, these two sartorial powerhouses are teaming up by bringing Ralph Lauren’s beloved FEED line – which benefits children in developing countries – to the timeless look of TOMS. We’re loving the FEED 12 Tiny TOMS Vegan for any active kid with both a big heart and a big sense of style.

For the couture lover: What’s the perfect fashion solution to a hot child on a summer day in the city? Perky stripes and an easy breezy look! African supermodel Liya Kebede’s new line, Lemlem, supports the livelihoods of Ethiopian weavers. So as temperatures rise, why not dress your little one in refreshing frocks and onesies from this visionary line? Boho-chic never felt so good.
