bgreen is the nicest
When I got to the green festival, one of the first booths I honed in on was for bgreen organic apparel. Their mission is “to create the nicest organic clothing in the marketplace,” and “nice” is a pretty apt word to describe the brand. bgreen is family-owned and focused on making the basics – mostly [...]

Meet Sarah
First, I’d like to introduce you to my photographer, the lovely miss Sarah: We were so impressed with the things we bought at the Seattle Green Festival that we couldn’t wait to wear them. My new earings are made by Loot!, who produces jewelry from recycled art glass, and the shirts – my cowl neck [...]

Back from the Seattle Green Festival
I just got back from Seattle’s Green Festival – it was amazing! There were tons of booths, all with sustainable, local and organic products at wholesale and near-wholesale prices. After hours of scouring and business card exchanging I’m pretty exhausted, so for now I’ll leave you with only one suggestion: pick up some Choice organic [...]

What inspires consciousness?
I’m tired of the media telling me that if I don’t buy consciously, I’m a bad consumer. It makes doing so a chore; it makes the whole thing sound horribly oppressive and, to be honest, really complicated. What I don’t get is why those big-wig corporate executives (who are often the least conscious of us, [...]

St. Grace Goodies Have Arrived!
It’s entirely possible that I enjoyed my boyfriend’s birthday more than he did. Why? Because I finally got the St. Grace Carol pants I ordered, plus the sheered tank . (The henley is back-ordered.) First of all, the fabric on both the pants and the tank feels so soft it’s almost buttery. At the same [...]

Recycled & Modern – you *can* do both.
Awakened Aesthetic has started to come up in conversation – you know, in that “what do you do” sort of way – and I’ve found myself having to explain just what conscious shopping is. The problem is that when I try to explain it using words like organic and recycled, people assume that equals patched, [...]

Shades of Grey
Spring has come to Seattle, but unless you grew up here you may not realize it. The wind is still blowing, but it’s a playful kind of wind; the sky is grey, but a lighter grey than usual; and the air is chilly, but somehow slightly more humid than what the Ice Queen has been [...]

It’s Been That Kind of Week!
Sometimes it’s just your day, you know? The weather’s warm, your spirits are high, and everything you want is all in your favorite color, your best shape, your perfect size. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it has not only been my day, it has been my whole damned week! My boyfriend’s birthday presents (he celebrates getting older more [...]

Totus Mel Giveaway – Last Day to Enter!
I have to admit that I don’t really WANT to post about this giveaway. I mean, if more of you enter, it lowers my chance to win the much-covetted tatted barefoot sandles. However, I can’t NOT help a fellow blogger (and talented Etsy seller) gain a following, especially when she’s making the playing field fair [...]
