Few things on the internet bring me joy like my Etsy favorites list does. Etsy is kind of like Pinterest for me, a place for endless inspiration. I save all my gift ideas for loved ones there, and of course, I always have my own wishlist going, featuring everything from home goods to clothing and so much more. It's my happy place. (Sponsor us, please!) I think all of these products and the designers behind them are so special and make such good Etsy gifts that I wanted to dedicate a post to them ... Read More

12 Sustainable Wrap Jumpsuits for Frolicking in This Summer
Hope you like linen. When jumpsuits first came back into fashion a few years ago, I was unabashedly not on board. For one, I am very short. Two, I have to pee all the time.

Sustainable Dresses for the Conscious Maximalist
Have I mentioned how happy I am that spring has finally hit Seattle? Any time the sun comes out, I'm out the door. One perk of working from home is that I can sit by the window and wait for any break in the rain so I can run outside and make the most of two or five or ten minutes when it's dry or sunny. I'll take what I can get! So you won't be surprised to know I've been virtual window-shopping for all of the pretty spring dresses, and as a conscious maximalist I want them to be bold colors, ...

An LA Girl’s Guide to Thrifting
Back in my day, thrifting consisted of hours spent combing the local Goodwill for clothing that was maybe fashionable and definitely cheap. Nowadays, I wouldn’t say I’m a *total* thrifting afficionado (the hobby has completely transformed in today’s atmosphere with secondhand and vintage goods considered elite in Gen Z circles), but I know enough about thrift stores in Los Angeles to help anyone jumpstart their journey locally. While it’s totally possible for fashion girlies to make a living ... Read More
