be concious. be green. be good.
Now, I love a good graphic tee. Could be snarky. Could be sweet. Doesn’t matter. Either way, it’s a good way to tell people how you feel without the awkwardness of actually having to tell people how you feel. But as a former knit top buyer for a fast fashion company I can also say […]

Several times on my journey to be a better human/shop better/be a more conscious consumer, people have asked me how to do it. What resources do I use? How can you tell if a company is ethical? Etc., etc. Well, beyond just doing a lot of research on a lot of topics and a lot […]

The words ethical and sustainable fashion have often been met with a cold shoulder (pun intended) from fashionistas near and far. And I’ll be honest, the snubs are often justified.

I love me a good denim jacket and/or chambray shirt, or both, or all of the above. Like for serious. If you see me out and about the odds are high (about 99.1%) that I will be wearing one of those two things, or both, as one of my final layers (yes, I said layers, […]

The rains are back in full force here in San Francisco, which got me thinking about our rain gear. Water resistant clothing is often made using quite a few chemicals, as well as fabrics and processes that aren’t so good for ol’ Mother Earth. A ton of the waterproof clothing out there is made using […]

If you know me (which at this stage of reading my blog you probably don’t, but let’s just pretend you do), you know I like me some wine. I’ll usually indulge in a glass or two on Fridays, sometimes Saturdays, pretty much any day that ends in d-a-y. And that’s doubly true for Valentine’s Day. […]

Almost everyone can recall an experience in which you had to exit the room that you were in because were choking on somebody else’s perfume or cologne. For me, I remember an experience at the department store Gimbels when I, dressed as an elf (obvi) literally choked on fragrance when a saleswoman asked me if […]
