In this episode of The Lexy Show, Lexy sits down with @gogreenwithalexa to unpack the truth about everyday products and their environmental impact, starting with something most of us use without a second thought: sunscreen. From understanding what ingredients to look for, to how small choices in our daily routines can add up to real change, this conversation breaks sustainability down in a way that feels approachable, not overwhelming.

I went secondhand shopping for my Coachella fit way before the festival, but whether you’re heading out for weekend two or already planning for next year, the options around the valley are genuinely good. Because Coachella is one of the most photographed events on the planet, and every year the same thing happens. Brands flood the market with “festival looks” built from synthetic fabrics that shed microplastics and take centuries to break down. People wear them once. The shuttle buses leave Indio. The clothes get trashed. There’s a better way to do this.

What if the clothes you already own could become something completely new? This week on The Lexy Show, I’m joined by Kelsey Reese, the designer behind ReeseCycled, a brand rooted in upcycling, creativity, and rethinking how we approach fashion. Instead of contributing to overproduction, Kelsey transforms thrifted pieces and existing wardrobe items into one-of-a-kind designs, while also offering made-to-order pieces that help reduce waste.

Festival fashion has always been its own kind of arms race. New outfit every day. New look for every photo. The unspoken rule that you can’t be caught in the same thing twice, especially not at Coachella, where what you wear competes with who’s performing. But something is shifting this year, and it’s worth paying attention to.

Burbank doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Magnolia Blvd is one of the most walkable thrift strips in all of LA — a concentrated cluster of vintage boutiques, charity shops, and curated consignment stores within literal blocks of each other. You can park once and hit most of them on foot. These are shops run by people who clearly love what they do, with loyal local regulars and inventory that ranges from budget thrift to well-priced vintage Western and 70s pieces. Great day trip if you want easy parking and a low-pressure browse.

If there’s one thrift corridor in LA that actually lives up to the hype, it’s Sunset Blvd between Echo Park and Silver Lake. You’ve got multiple decades of vintage stacked within half a mile of each other, and the neighborhood’s whole identity is built around the idea that your clothes should mean something. This isn’t just shopping — this is the vibe. The route runs east-to-west along Sunset, then cuts north up Hyperion toward Atwater Village for a couple of hidden gems. You can do the whole thing in a day, or split it across a morning and afternoon with lunch on Sunset in between.

DTLA’s thrift scene is less about a single strip and more about knowing which warehouses and buildings to walk into. The Fashion District bleeds into the Arts District which bleeds into Little Tokyo, and the vintage shops here reflect all of it — streetwear, luxury consignment, mission-driven resale, and everything in between. A few of these require

10 stops. Dixie Highway to Palm Beach Island. Budget thrift to designer vintage. Here’s what nobody tells you about West Palm Beach: it is one of the best thrift corridors in the entire country.

What if saving water was as simple as turning on your tap? In this episode of The Lexy Show, Lexy sits down with Elle Turner, co-founder of SEVAS Water, to talk about the everyday habits we overlook and how they quietly add up to hundreds of gallons of wasted water. While most solutions focus on large-scale systems, SEVAS is taking a different approach, making water conservation simple, practical, and accessible in our daily routines.

From Shein to ExxonMobil, brands learned the hard way that vague “eco” claims don’t fly anymore. Here’s what happened—and how to spot the BS going forward. Sustainability marketing had a big year in 2025. Unfortunately, so did greenwashing. From fashion brands overstating recycled content to beauty companies making vague “eco” claims with nothing to back

Let’s play a quick game. I say “sustainable fashion,” and you picture what, exactly? Pricey linen dresses? Scratchy hemp shirts? A grid of tiny certification logos no one actually understands? Or maybe NOTHING came to mind because you don’t know enough about it. If your brain just spiraled into confusion, welcome, you’re in the majority.

I’ll show you how to quickly spot the real ones, call out the fuzzy ones, and shop with a little more confidence (and a lot less stress).

People talk a lot about “sustainable leather,” but most of what ends up in stores today is either animal leather with a massive footprint or “vegan leather” that is really just plastic with a prettier name. And that leaves a real question hanging in the air. Is there actually a version of leather that does
