Green Glamour

This Friday, we at Bernadette's will join the world in celebrating Earth Day. This yearly event was created in 1970 as a way to bring attention to important environmental issues, and encourage citizens to protect the planet and its resources.

If you buy vintage, antique or collectible goods, you're helping the environment (perhaps even without realizing it) by reusing or recycling materials, rather than creating a demand for new textiles to be manufactured. Also, vintage and antique purchases keep material and packaging out of landfills. 

At Bernadette's, we also pack purchases in recyclable gift bags and boxes, and even save you a bit of gas by bringing our finds to you online!

We urge you to get into the green spirit of Earth Day this week, whether you plant a tree, give to an environmentally conscious charity, or purchase one of the many fashionable and affordable pieces (like vintage jewelry, footwear and more) for sale at Bernadette's right now. Going green doesn't mean compromising on great style--you can look fabulous and shop responsibly on Earth Day and every day.http://www.bernadettes.com/shop/bernadette-back-room.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=2&category_id=2
