Both Emmy and Origins are working with Charity: Water, a non-profit organization that wants to solve the clean water crisis one tap at a time.

They are in over 20 countries and have helped over 3 million people access clean, potable water. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to make a difference!

At the Smarty Plants event, Emmy wore a nude dress from J. Mendel’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection and pointed pumps by Christian Louboutin.

You can be sure that “nude” will not translate to “boring” by mixing textures or wearing pops of color — just like Emmy’s silk top, jacquard skirt, bold lips, and patented pumps.
