Brooklyn Botanical Gardens Go Gudrun

If you know me, then you know that I adore the fashion/life style company from Sweden called Gudrun Sjoden.  She is so ahead of her time it's amazing.  The company believes in beeing GREEN.  In the USA her flagship store is on GREEN STREET.  They only use recyclable cloth shopping bags.  Each season a new bag is produced many, of her fans collect these bags for shopping or crafts.  The catalog is on fantastic recyclable paper, just feeling it is delicious.  So as an Earth Friendly Company, Gudrun Sjoden has made partnership with the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York.  First Sundays  Gudrun Sjoden is host the day!   A POP UP Shop in the super gift shop  is open for that day only.  Last Sunday I had the pleasure to spend the Day as A GURDUN SJODEN AMBASSADORE at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens with my Friend Kathi Nesi.
of course I had to visit the GREEN STREET STORE,  as  Spring was in the Air… The new collection just arrived! A new outfit was in order

The first item I spot in the store was the  SWEATER/COATof color blocking Wow did I drool! Endless possibilities  in wearing this sweater/coat

This fabulous cerise quilted coat with embroider  IS CALLED LI WEI COAT FROM THE CHINA COLLECTION

lucky me I had the fabulous Rosita to help me choose a new spring out fit to wear!
At THE BROOKLYN BOTANICAL GARDEN…. KATHI IS WEARING THE "BESS" DRESS WITH AN ADORABLE MATCHING  CROSS BODY PURSE!  Kathi is holding the 2015 Calendar of watercolors by Gudrun Sjoden!
