Who doesn't love a good co-ord for spring? It's does the work of a jumpsuit in providing head-to-toe cohesion without the bladder anxiety that comes with a one-piece. If you've curated a capsule wardrobe, you might have several two piece sets in your closet that also double as mix and match or layering basics. Either way, I love the versatility! And for spring, it's all about dopamine dressing, because we could sure use an extra hit after that never-ending winter we all just endured. Below, my ... Read More

My Light & Bright Dining Nook
Late last summer, my boyfriend and I moved to a new apartment here in Seattle. It's almost twice as big as our last space, and I've been slowly pulling it together ever since. (More on that later.) Luckily, around the same time, I heard from Ohh Happy Home, an affordable Australian fair trade rug brand that we'd posted about in our ethically made rugs guide (among others). They wanted us to see what their washable rugs were like IRL, especially because they now ship to the US! Given my prior ... Read More
Cute Handmade Felt Ornaments
I love DIY. Around this time each year, you can find me crafting Christmas ornaments, festive garlands, or cute gift toppers to embellish my gift wrap. But by now I know my limits when it comes to crafting. There are some things I just don't have the skill (or patience to acquire the skill) for. And I learned long ago that working with felt was one of them, despite my love of it. So these cute handmade felt ornaments, all by different artists mostly on Etsy, are on the top of my list should I ... Read More
Introducing wallflower, a Boutique for Curated Gifts, Decor & Objects That Inspire
Hello friends! We have a big announcement for you today! Introducing our very own shop, from the founders and editors of eco club and our design studio, wallflower.

So, it's long overdue, but today we're sharing photos from our first shoot, featuring so many of our favorite products. I'll explain a bit more about this new ... Read More
Sustainable Home Decor for Lovers of Maximalist Design
Love maximalist design but want to remain committed to becoming a more conscious consumer? Here are a few of my favorite sustainable design and decor destinations for achieving that maximalist, layered look with a relatively low footprint (versus mass-produced, corporate goods). Of course these shouldn't be a replacement for secondhand sources and local boutiques in your community, but rather a supplement when you're looking for that perfect piece to round out your collection. Peruse the shops ... Read More
18 Sustainable Fanny Packs from Athletic to Chic
Let's talk sustainable fanny packs. Or belt bags, or hip packs, or bum bags, or whatever you want to call this delightful 90s revival. I have a few myself, some of which get daily use, like my "Sustainable S*** Only" pack from Grant Blvd (mentioned here and here). Some, admittedly, not so much, like a beautiful leather fanny pack I purchased from a talented Etsy seller, that just happened to look comically enormous on me. I still wear it when I have a lot to carry, though! Most recently, our new ... Read More
