Being sustainable is good for your wallet
Sustainability is one of those words that we keep hearing more and more nowadays. Sustainable living, sustainable farming and sustainable fashion is just a few examples. But what does it mean to be sustainable and why it is good for you and us, as society? I understand sustainability as a fine balance between finite resources that there are available and how we as humans choose to use them. We all heard horror stories from the fast-fashion industry where new clothing was being made at a huge cost to the environment and everyone directly involved in the process and it made me to become a bit more self-aware on how I made my purchasing decisions as a customer. That self-awareness led me to a few discoveries that I would like to share here:
- Buying second-hand fashion is not only sustainable but good for your wallet. Second-hand fashion is booming and that is positively impacting environment and helps to raise awareness that the we all as consumers can make the fashion industry more sustainable and environment friendly. I have recently ordered a bag myself from www.inseller.com, which trades in second hand luxury bags, and I am not only happy with my purchase that allowed me to save several hundred dollars but I am also satisfied that I could become a bit more sustainable.
- Make money by selling stuff that you no longer need. We all have loads of clothing, shoes and other unused items collecting dust in our closets. But do you know that while these items might be of no value to you, they still have value! List them on various resale platforms and you will be surprised that you can still make some cash of it! So extra cash for you and some karma points as well, as you will be helping the planet by increasing the lifecycle of your items! 😉
- Consume less. This one is simple. Just before you buy that latest mobile phone, shoes or even a car, just ask yourself, do you really need it? Consuming less is one of those things that has probably the biggest impact and I am currently working on making a habit by always asking myself if I really need that item before I go and buy it. Trust me, you will see that in quite a few cases the answer will simply be “No!”.
These are just a few examples that helped me to lead my life in a bit more sustainable fashion and also saved me some cash as well! If you have more tips, I will be happy to hear from you!

Spring Styles for 2019 under 100.00
Some fun new pieces have been coming out and I know everyone is excited about spring break so here are some good ones. I found a couple of cute suits, perfect for vacation. There are some really cute shoes that are all under 100.00. Also I found a few extras that would be perfect for Easter. I think these may be the best under 100 spring styles for 2019.
Either dress paired with the heels and the purse, such a fun spring outfit. The purple dress comes in a variety of spring colors and is really cute paired with a white blazer or denim jacket. The black dotted dress also comes in a variety of patterns including a pink leopard that I love. I love the detail on the heels and the price is so good. They would look so cute with the dresses also paired with jeans or black trousers. That purse would look good with everything. Comes in a few different colors and has such pretty hardware.
Those suits would be fun at the beach for spring break. I think you would get a ton of compliments on those two! The water print is a big trend this spring and leopard is always in season it seems. A cover up to complete the outfit along with some cute sandals. This cover up is light and airy so it would be perfect under any suit and also for baby bellies. It has room to move in it and would flatter any size. The sandals are a long time favorite that are chic for the beach to dinner.
Those tennis shoes would be perfect with a pair of denim shorts or white jeans. I love the pattern and the fact they are not too bright. They are the right shade of leopard. Just enough to get noticed without screaming it out. The price is so good one these and they would look cute with everything.

This Tarte makeup is so good and comes with this brush which you can use for the whole face on one end and on the other end its great for getting into small spots like under eyes and the nose area. Urban Decay is one of my favorite mascara brands so this one that comes with a primer is a total steal.
