Eileen Fisher

Have you ever visited Eileen Fisher’s website? If not, do it now {then come back to my post; of course ;)}. What you will find is a fashion company that doesn’t only believe in philanthropy but has deeply weaved social responsibility from manufacturing all the garments she sells to the very core of the company. Eileen Fisher sees ” business as movement” meaning that she drives her company as an agent of change. The company even has a human rights leader in charge of making sure factories abroad are not part of human trafficking. Locally, stores nationwide host fundraising events, book readings and even knitting sessions. Along with all that, Eileen also founded a leadership institute focused on empowering women and girls and a grant program for women entrepreneurs that are themselves agents of change for women and girls.

Honestly, I’m giving you a small glimpse of all the awesome things this company does. I could spend hours writing about how they pick organic cotton for the garments they sell or how they even created a recycling program where the proceeds go to empowering girls. I mean, aren’t they just perfect? Well, maybe not perfect, but they sure do come close…

Now go and browse some of their beautiful garments and shop because now you know that buying from Eileen Fisher won’t only make you look beautiful but will make you feel great that today you contributed to a greater cause.

Below are some of my favorite fall pieces. 😉

Fall season makes me so happy. Maybe it’s the leaves changing color or the feeling I get from walking the chilly NYC streets with a cozy sweater and cappuccino in hand.

Well, on Saturday, we took a trip with our dear friends to Stakey’s Pumpkin Farm in Long Island. I mean, who doesn’t love apple cider doughnuts, hard cider and wine? Aside from all the yummy eating and drinking we did, we also managed to go pumpkin picking. Thomas and I brought home our first pumpkin-Yay! The plan is to make a pumpkin pie..haha let’s see how that turns out.

We ended our trip at Sherwood House Vineyards where we drank local wine and listened to a live band that played a couple of Lionel Richie songs-Woohoo!(yes-I am huge fan). We seriously felt like we were visiting a friends summer home in the country. It’s about an hour away from the city-I definitely recommend it! Check out the cute photos we took.

Hi!

My my name is Lourdes. I live in Brooklyn with my husband,Thomas. I decided to write a lifestyle blog, because I needed a creative outlet where I could share things that make me happy.

A year ago (or longer) I had an “epiphany” and I found myself wanting to change the career I had planned and dedicated my time to for years and I sat (walked..meditated..spoke to my girlfriends…etc..lol) and did some deep reflection and found that I didn’t have to give up a career in human rights. So I asked myself what could I do with a Masters in Global Affairs and 7 years of retail experience? And so this is how, Please, do Tell, was born. I will write about fashion brands that look beyond just making a profit. These brands have realized that they have a social responsibility to make the world a better place. Nevermind those that say you can’t glam it up and do good at the same time! You definitely can! 🙂

When I am not blogging, I enjoy traveling, working out, trying new restaurants, exploring different coffee-shops, volunteering and reading a good book.
