What an amazing 3 days I had with my ‘Nature Needs Heroes’ family. We got together to spread the word about the ‘Nature Needs Heroes’ initiative. On the agenda was a media dinner, workshop day, community service day and workshop at the Timberland Flagship store.
This is what I wore. I will link everything that is still available.
Media Dinner: Sam Kass x Timberland | Smile To Go
We started this stop on the tour with an exclusive dinner with members of the press (Vogue, Elle, Complex and more), special guests and Timberland executives. The menu was curated by former White House Chef (Obama Administration) Sam Kass. The Last Supper featured greens from Freight Farms (fellow Heroes for Nature) and ingredients that will disappear or become extremely rare in the future if we don’t take sustainability seriously. Ingredients like coffee, chocolate and shellfish. They also named a drink after me ‘the Conscious and Chic’ and it was delicious!
This is what I wore:
- Frank & Oak Minimal blazer (sustainable line)
- ABLE t-shirt: Renuka Puff Sleeve Tee
- ABLE button front jeans: Daisy Button Front
- Timberland boots: Sienna High Waterproof Boots

‘Nature Needs Heroes” Workshops | Flatiron Plaza
I love teaching and being with people IRL so needless to say that I had a blast. We set up shop on the Flat Iron Plaza across from the icon Flat Iron building. There were a variety of activations, workshops and a giant Timberland boot for those Instagram-worthy moments!
This is what I wore:
- Thrifted leather jacket.
- ABLE crop top: Navya Dolman Tee
- ABLE Jeans: Martha Permanent Cuff Straight Jeans
- Timberland boots: Sienna High Waterproof Boots
Service Day | Harlem Link Charter School
On day 3, over a hundred volunteer descended on Harlem Link Charter school to build green spaces, plant seeds, paint fun artwork and spruce up the schools yard. The goal: create a space the kids could call their own and connect with their green thumb.
This is what I wore:
- Timberland jacket: Rosebrook Insulated Jacket
- Timberland t-shirt – exclusive Timberland tee.
- ABLE jeans: Daisy Button Front Jeans
- Timberland boots: Sutherlin Bay Lace-up Boots

The last New York event took place at Timberland’s Flagship store. Since we were indoors for this iteration of the workshops, I decided to wear a dress over jeans and white boots!
This is what I wore:
