Tired of clicking on those "best sustainable fashion" brand lists only to see Reformation and Everlane over and over again and not learn anything new? You've come to the right place! While I love to focus on specific products for our ethical fashion guides, such as sustainable fanny packs, jumpsuits, or swimsuits, I know that a lot of you are looking for a simple list of brands you can feel good about shopping in general. I'm thrilled that there are so, SO many slow fashion labels out there ... Read More

Ethical Valentine’s Day Style
Happy Valentine's Day, friends! I love wearing a little something special for this Hallmark holiday. It's nice to have a reminder to romanticize life a bit, not just with your partner but other relationships--most importantly, the one with yourself. While there are plenty of acts of self care that don't require you to spend money, I thought it would be fun to share my own ethical fashion wishlist full of red and pink dresses and other Valentine's Day favorites. I've been coming across a lot ... Read More
What is Lotus Silk? Spotlight on a Rare Natural Silk

They take the discarded stems of those flowers and turn them into beautiful goods in a ... Read More
Where to Shop on Small Business Saturday
You're undoubtedly inundated with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Thanksgiving, blahblahblah sales (should we all just call it "sale month" at this point?), so I know when you see a gift guide these days you really want it to be something special. I feel the same way, which is why I spend probably way too long hunting down the perfect products to add to articles like this! (But if it influences *anyone* to shop small rather than mass-produced, it's worth it, I think.) Small Business Saturday is a ... Read More

Mixed's pink 'Nana Party jumpsuit is fun in any season, but I love the playful pop of color for fall! ... Read More
Wolf & Badger Fall Dresses
Where do you shop sustainably? Wolf and Badger is one of the few marketplaces for independent designers (featuring mostly fashion but home goods too) that I truly love to spend time on. So many ethical shopping websites have a very limited selection and it feels impossible to cater to many budgets, sizes, and styles at once. (And I get it, Jenn and I recently launched our shop *more on that later!*, and there's truly so much to consider when sourcing!) Lately I've been seeing Wolf & Badger ... Read More
