Hi, friends! We've been working on a collection of gift guides for the holidays which we're SUPER excited about because it means we get to give a shout out to all of the sustainable brands we've seen over the year! We save so, so many independent designers on Instagram and even though we can't connect with every single one on a personal level, we're always looking for ways to share their work. Ever since my first sustainable living blog back in 2014 (and actually, way before that when I used to ... Read More
This Won’t Change After The Election
How are you feeling, friends? With less than a week out until election day, we wanted to check in. Here in Seattle, we've got our ballots in (and can track them!)... now we wait. I've been thinking about how BIG everything that is happening in the US right now (and around the world too) is, so many of us waiting on so many outcomes and decisions. But let's set that aside for the moment, and think of what will not change come election day, or the day after, or when the clock strikes midnight on ... Read More
90s Fashion Trends You Can Shop Consciously
We don't know how long the 90s will stick around, but they're back in a big way right now... even when it comes to conscious fashion. My 90s themed birthday party this year was {obviously} canceled due to COVID-19, so I've had a lot of shiny, velvet-y, pastel, floral, grunge-y inspiration and no where to put it. One of my favorite ways to get behind 90s fashion trends is to purchase vintage and secondhand, or at least upcycled. I guess I can't get into the idea of buying a *new* design based off ...

Where to Buy Sustainable Joggers
When I first drafted this post, it all seemed so simple. Joggers are everywhere right now. I'd seen a few of my favorite ethical clothing brands selling them, so I didn't think I'd have a hard time rounding up a few more. Turns out, finding out where to buy sustainable joggers requires a bit of digging. So I've been adding to this list over the weeks whenever I come across a cozy new pair. Finally, I have a fairly solid list. Though I'm always on the lookout for more. Where to Buy Sustainable ... Read More
Ethical Shopping: 16 Vibrant Sustainable Accessories From Independent Designers
You might've seen our post on the best sustainable fashion brands for adding color to your wardrobe (read here if not) but I think it's about time we talked accessories. To be honest, I'm pretty simple when it comes to accessories, but I like to make a statement with whatever bag or embellishment I do carry. It's my way of elevating an otherwise lazy outfit which I'm pretty guilty of sporting on the reg (I mean, it's a pandemic, we all are at this point). I also love that accessories are a ... Read More
The West Coast Is On Fire. Here’s How To Help
Our beautiful west coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California are on fire. Climate change driven wildfire season hits us harder each year. I've long been anxious about these worsening summers. But I never imagined having to stay inside my Seattle apartment to avoid toxic air (and ours is not nearly as bad as our friends in other parts of the state, Oregon, and California, comparatively). I'm beyond words at this point, so I'll leave the rest of the talking to the groups and organizations ... Read More
