Anyone got tickets for Eat, Pray, Love yet? There’s so much buzz going on about Julia’s wardrobe in this sure-to-be blockbuster Summer movie. It’s her garb in India, which is getting the attention – all those gorgeous shawls and magnificent colors that look great on everyone.The thing I love about this kind of look is that you can 
find it at affordable prices and fair-trade.I’m a long-time fan of Rising Tide Fair Trade and was thrilled to see that Julia’s toting their Hobo bag (pictured,) in the movie. Made from old remnants and vintage quilts, these useful bags are made in a women’s co-op. I use mine to travel, as it’s quite amazing how much you can stuff into it.
For stunning fair-trade pashmina wraps and shawls, similar to the ones that our Julia drapes over her shoulders, check out the great selection at Nimli. I love the Azuri Galaxy shawl (pictured).
Julia also schleps around in her comfy Toms Shoes. If you don’t already own a pair, now’s the time girls! Tom’s shoes works on the basic premise that for each pair you buy, they’ll donate a pair to a child in need. They have a huge collection of different styles to choose from, as well as the new Wedge (pictured below).
I simply adore my hand-woven African Bolga market basket (below) – I have two of them – one for my yarn and one for my sewing supplies. They’re so pretty that you actually want them on display in your living room.
If you’re looking out for jewelry, it makes perfect sense to see what you can find from fair-trade artisans, before you look elsewhere. I love this gold stacked necklace, created by a wonderful co-operative in Kenya. You can actually go to Ten 
Thousand Villages and read their story
Finally, my favorite fair trade hats in the world can be ordered from the British company Pachcuti.
It’s so fitting that a girl like Julia, who cares so deeply about the environment and it’s inhabitants, should set the stage for what we’ll hanker after (fashion-wise,) this fall: instead of designer bags and shoes, which are typically produced in sweatshops for pennies and then sold for hundreds of dollars, we’re talking about beautiful pieces that come with a good energy all the way around.
She also wears a beautiful wool, hand-woven Fair Trade belt by Jenny Krauss, sold by Fair Trade Winds on WorldofGood.com: http://bit.ly/juliabelt
She 40 plus and fabulous-I like her style-Those outfits are incredible-I like the basket too. I believe the movie will do incredibly well-thanks for sharing
I have a huge basket like that for my daughter’s toys. I love Julia and everything she does. Love up-cycling and think wearing labels everywhere, is just kind of embarrassing and braggy. Also, love Gorgeously Green.
