As fabulous as we are, we will never have a ten million dollar wardrobe budget to work with. However, we do (most likely) all have great friends we’d love go see SATC2 with. For our INLU SATC2 Campaign, we suggest people use their “soiree” as an excellent opportunity to get together AND do good as a group. Once it’s decided, the fun really starts with the question:
“what will I wear?”
(and how can I keep the planet happy while looking fantastic?)
1. Let’s start with the hands, shall we?
Try eco-friendly nail polish.
May we suggest PritiNYC? Nobody will know it’s eco-friendly— it’s super sexy!
Another, cool yet kid-friendlier option you can hand off to the offspring? HOPSCOTCH KIDS NONTOXIC water-based nail polish.
2. Costume Rings- Hit EBAYor ETSY for fabulous finds.
VIBRANT . Flower Statement Ring (Only $11)
3. Cuffs. GET GLAMMED with glorious vintage restoration pieces from Camille K.
Camille K - Vintage Design
Or possibly a FABULOUS bracelet…via TWINKLE STUDIOS?
Twinkle Studios...Stellar!
4. Clutch…don’ forget the CLUTCH!
Again, hit etsy. Search around for recycled fabric, fun or WILD clutches. Better yet, make your own! For $5, you can get a pattern and head to YOUR closet and make a clutch out of an old dress or costume.
Etsy Bonus? Search by zipcode to keep the shipping quick & close.
5. Necklaces.
For this, we say go fro a run through your LOCAL consignment shop, thrift store or even craigslist ad. Online options ABOUND. Check out Vintage Costume Jewels Upcycled Jewelry or Twinkle Studios for some FABULOUS inspiration.

6. Designer Look: Trendy & Upscale (2nd-hand style).
We suggest three things:
- Go to your local upscale / resale boutique.
- We also suggest you send an email around and SWAP dresses, skirts & other clothing with the gals. Who knows, maybe that skirt that you can’t wear anymore will find new life on your cute tiny little yoga mom nieghbor. (OR not…)
- OR, if you’re GOING FOR IT, rent and return designer clothing. Swing by WEARTODAYGONETOMORROW.
If that doesn’t suit yer fancy, swing by the DAILY GREEN for eco-savvy-smarter than synthetic style fashion direction.
7. SHOES, GLORIOUS SHOES!
It doesn’t look like an upscale boutique BUT if you step your sweet feet into a PLATOS CLOSET, you will surely find a ONE OF A KIND cute, trendy pair of shoes. Pre-owned does not mean WORN OUT. No busted straps or broken heels– just a TON of hardly-worn heels. Fabulous, without buyer’s remorse.
Another idea?
Celebrity Resale Boutique on eBay
8. Martini Glasses
Find UNIQUE Martini Glasses
Martini Glasses- thrift store galore. rummage in the back of your favorite, local antique or thrift store. Find mismatched, full-of-character martini glasses, champage flutes and cocktail glasses. Make it interesting with a variety of heights, weights, colors and etchings. S
9. Clean Makeup…that benefits a cause!
“Peacekeeper Cause-Metics is the first cosmetics line to give all of its after-tax, distributable profits to women’s health advocacy and urgent human rights issues”
We LOVE THIS IDEA! How cool…put on your face and make the world a better place.
Check it out HERE.
10. Carpool!
There’s nothing really sexy about car pooling BUT in this case, if you can get all the gals together in ONE or TWO vehicles, it saves gas. Does it do much to counter the GULF OIL disaster? No but ever little effort can help. Oh, and did you know there are now clean limo / cars etc? Say whattt? Check out OZOCAR and ECOLIMO.
Whatever you do, have a blast! If you’d like to do an INLU and collect from all the ladies & gents for a CAUSE (or ANYTHING ELSE) please CLICK HERE.
