I'm not sure what it is about the conscious fashion movement, but we are color lovers through and through. All of our favorite maximalist fashion brands are coming out with these bright, bold collections—the kind of stuff we'd normally only see in summer—lifting my mood on these dark Seattle days. Retro patterns, billow sleeves, pops of neons... there is no better way to make a statement this season. If your pals are diehard maximalists too, this conscious fashion gift guide featuring all the ... Read More
Our Everist Review is Here!
Today is the day! Six months after first trying everist, we're finally ready to share our review! It's hair care (kind of a big deal) so we really wanted to ensure this was a good representation of our experiences with the brand. If you missed it on Instagram, everist sent both Jenn and I their Shower Essentials Bundle, which features their waterless shampoo concentrate, conditioner, body wash, and zero-waste konjac sponge to try before adding them to our directory. I've been following them ... Read More
Hi, Sustainable Barbie!
Has everyone here seen the Barbie movie yet? (I'd assume so, according to the box office records it has crushed so far.) This fabulous film has spurred a Barbie revival and now it's all pink and teal and candy colors only from here on out!

Of course, getting inspired to refresh your wardrobe doesn't come without consequence. Fast fashion is making a killing off ... Read More
Sustainably Made Summer Hats
I've never been a hat person. They're usually too big and swallow me up and make me self conscious. But slowly I've started to understand their brilliance. Beanies for the winter, I can no longer go without. Baseball caps when I have greasy hair or it's drizzly out. What about summer hats? I'm finally falling in love. Big floppy sunhats and wide brimmed woven hats with ribbons to tie around? So chic. Linen bucket hats? As long as they're not *too* reminiscent of my awkward adolescent years, I'm ... Read More
The Best Vintage Stores in Portland, Oregon
Jenn and I have had this post on our calendar for so long, but there really are so many good vintage stores in Portland that it's hard to consider "the best". We wanted to finally share it with you, so we'll consider this a post-in-progress and continue to update as we know we've forgotten (and not yet discovered) many! The vintage shops below range from antique malls to speciality fashion stores to curated boutiques offering both new and vintage treasures. Hope you find your new favorite spot ... Read More
Painting a Pink Accent Wall with Clare Paint
It's ever so slowly starting to feel like spring, but for now I'm happy hanging inside (with all the blinds up, of course) because I finally finished the pink accent wall project I've been dreaming up for many moons! I'm an interior paint novice, but there are just too many white walls in this apartment of ours. I decided months ago that it needed a pop, preferably pink, but it took time to research sustainable paint companies before I found a brand I aligned with and that featured colors I ... Read More
