These styles aren’t just trending on the red carpet. They’re in everyday life as well. Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie love to represent green brands and fashion for advocacy also. One of their favorites is OmniPeace.

Green isn’t just for adults who understand the concept of global warming, the affects of pollution and all that other jazz. Soleil Moon Frye, TV’s Punky Brewster, has launched a green brand for the little ones. Her full line of green baby clothing can be found here.
This year alone a great deal of fashion designers are hopping on the green wagon with one of my favorites being from Emma Watson at People Tree. This is a video of her in Bangladesh touring slum homes of garment factory workers. This trip was said to provide much inspiration for the continuation of her sustainable clothing line.

Another famous sustainable designer on the rise is Lauren Conrad from MTV’s reality show “The Hills” and various spin-offs.

While I myself have done this next bracelet when I was a little kid, sometimes I simply don’t have time for crafts. I did however, buy this bracelet and I rock it on the regular! It sparks so many conversations, and I get to spread the word about sustainability just by wearing a quirky vintage accessory.
Elegance does not consist of putting on a new dress.
