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
Where To Buy Ethically Made Rugs Online
Welcome to my favorite topic as of late... ethically made rugs! This post will be full of exclamation points! I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but somewhere along the way I became obsessed with rugs. (I think Instagram is with me on this one.) My first rug came from a friend's travels through New Mexico, others came from West Elm, who offers surprisingly good prices on Fair Trade Certified rugs, and others have been purchased via Etsy. I'm even putting a rug on my balcony (because vibes), ... Read More
3 Sustainability Questions to Ask Your Host Before You Book Your Airbnb
When you travel, do you make sure the accommodations you book maintain an eco-friendly property? With hotels this question is fairly easy to answer, but you have to dig a little deeper when booking via rental marketplaces like Airbnb, VRBO, Vacasa, etc. The hotel industry has an unsurprisingly substantial impact on the environment so choosing an independently run vacation rental can already be a sustainable act, but recently I started wondering how else I can ensure that my travels align with my ...
