If you tuned into our IG Live with Tatiana of Zuahaza for Earth Month, you may know that we're getting very into natural dyes over here! Learning about Zuahaza's process of dyeing with organic cotton opened our eyes to the many ways you can go about dyeing your own fabrics naturally. I've had natural dye on my DIY bucket list for years, and the DIY avocado dye Tatiana shared a while back got me even more excited to give this a go. For this project, she shared her recipe for DIY onion skin dye, ... Read More
How To Style A Silk Scarf
With temps finally warming up in Seattle, I'm getting inspired to change out of my moss girlfriend leggings and into something slightly dressier... at least once a week (baby steps). One of the easiest ways to make a simple outfit like a maxi dress, a bright jumpsuit, or ethically made overalls perfectly put together for spring is with a beautiful silk scarf. Danish sustainable luxury womenswear brand 1 People, a new #ecoclubapproved directory member, sent us two of their regenerative silk ... Read More

And should I finally leave my den (thank goodness for Seattle spring!), I even look slightly put ... Read More
How To Dress Like A Conscious Maximalist
I love that the concept of maximalism in sustainable fashion is really just representative of opportunity—taking advantage of your ability to style something out of the ordinary and collect from many different sources, and with limitless potential for inspiration.

By adding the ‘conscious’ aspect, you challenge yourself to be more discerning about your fashion, taking into account where and how it’s made, and ... Read More
Where to Buy Ethically Made Shoes Under $300
When it comes to sustainable shopping, ethically made shoes aren't the most affordable. It kind of makes sense, though, right? If there's a wardrobe staple worth investing in, there's no better one than on quality footwear that you can walk around in for months (or even years) before discarding. Not to mention, shoes are one of the toughest fashion pieces to purchase secondhand (in my opinion)--though I applaud anyone who has the patience to do so as it can be quite the search to find the ...
