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

How to Transform Your Bedroom with Ethically Made Home Decor
Kay, I know we're full of home decor talk this summer (admittedly that says a lot about how I'm coping with the world at the moment but hey it makes me feel better and I get to gush about sustainable brands, SO!), with our backyard picnic and guide to sustainable home decor boutiques. But I promise these gorgeous photos Charity styled and shot during our collaboration with Zuahaza will have you inspired to take on a creative home project or two, ethically made home decor included, of ...

Creating a Summer Oasis On My Apartment Balcony
Do you have outdoor space you can retreat to during the summer of COVID? I've always been one to make use of any outdoor space I have, no matter how small--in California I was one of the only people in our entire complex to make use of the gorgeous courtyard (we didn't have our own deck) almost everyday. Now that we're in Seattle there are only so many months we can use our balcony but I've never been more grateful to have one! For some reason no one else in our complex, again, seems to do so ...

Making The Most Of Summer During Covid-19
If there are two things that can (at least temporarily) pull me out of the funk that 2020 has trapped me in, it’s gotta be A) getting creative with someone (yes someone, social distance style) and B) spending time outside. Our talented photographer Charity and I had canceled our spring shoot due to the pandemic. Halfway through summer and sufficiently bummed, we knew that even if just the two of us got together outside we’d feel a whole lot better! Today I’ll walk you through what we did so ... Read More
Top Sustainable Loungewear Brands… Because Pajamas Are For Work Now
Anyone here already worked from home when this whole quarantine situation came into play? I've been a freelancer since 2014 (and an introvert since forever) so I'm no stranger to staying home for long periods of time. For months I'd been thinking about how I really need to invest in some quality, sustainable loungewear. Actually the two of us (Jenn, who built our site, and I) had been talking about how we might as well have something nice if we're going to be spending all this time sitting at ... Read More
10 Instagram Accounts to Follow for Thrifted + Sustainable Fashion Inspiration
Shopping secondhand is really what kicked off my love of sustainable style, years back. Of course, back then it was more about being wallet-friendly. But hey, whatever gets the ball rolling. We've been a lot more active on Instagram lately than here on the blog (but still, blogs forever.), and it's seriously inspiring to see how stylish a proud outfit repeater can be with a collection of old used clothes. Basically, if you're creative, you do not need fast fashion (or designer fashion) to ... Read More
