Sustainable Outfit of the Day | The Belt Bag & Travels to Nashville
This post was sponsored in part by Hozen. We only partner with brands we truly love!
I'm usually not one for trends, but the belt bag has caught my eye this year!! It's like the new and improved fanny pack, and I love it!

Belt Bag in Ecru, HOZEN $240
Even though this feels like buttery leather, it is made from entirely vegan materials! HOZEN's Belt Bag is ethically made in a fair-wage factory in Los Angeles with an Italian biopolyoil "leather" body, recycled plastic / organic cotton lining, recycled plastic thread, recycled plastic zippers, natural rubber rope, recycled cotton label, and a vegan adhesive. I put two outfits in this post to see its versatility as a belt and a crossbody. It's big enough for your phone, wallet, lip gloss - all those daily essentials! Plus, 10% of the profits are donated to Mercy for Animals, an international nonprofit animal protection organization. While I'm partial to this beautiful color, the Belt Bag can be found in yellow, red, blue, pink & black, too! Who else is digging this trend? I love it because I feel hands-free, and it's a nice change from having to wear something on the shoulder. I even put Elliott's snacks in there when we are out and about.
Leo Zodiac Charm & Birthstone Necklaces, Stilnest from $59
Black Onyx Eros Pendant, Puck Wanderlust $122
NYTT Jones Scoop Keyhole Bodysuit, Alternative Apparel $44 (sold out, but available in black)
Serena Sandal in Nutmeg, Nisolo $108
The Clarissa High Rise, ABLE $148
By the way, we had a wonderful time on our southern road trip! We went to Gulfport, New Orleans, Chattanooga, Nashville, Knoxville and Asheville. About 30 hours in the car with a 15-month-old was better than I thought it would be. Elliott was a trooper! One of my favorite towns we visited was Nashville, and we had a great breakfast at Thistle Farms. This restaurant (along with a gift shop where they sell their natural body products) is a nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to supporting women who have survived trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. The teacups hanging on the ceiling all represent a woman and her story. You can check out their online shop - here -
