Erba Organics: Not Just for Mommies
Back in May, my Twitter-friend Eden (a clinical herbalist, acupuncturist and industry consultant who teaches herb classes in Los Angeles, blogs here, and tweets here) was kind enough to introduce me to Erba Organics, an organic body care company that focuses on safe, eco-conscious products for moms and their little ones. She sent me a very [...]

Get Wet: Eco-Conscious Swimwear
It’s too hot in Seattle. No, really: it’s been in the nineties all week, and on Wednesday we hit an all-time record: 103 degrees of sweaty humid heat. Though I’m spending my days in clothing that’s work appropriate and weather resistant (dresses! sandals! cropped pants and sleeveless shirts!)

What About Wednesday?: Link Love
Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?”It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.

What About Wednesday: Choices
Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?”It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts. I believe that who we are, and the way we’re measured, has everything to do with our choices. At the core of our [...]

Mapel allerted me to Melanie Renee Designs, a California company that offers soft, feminine clothing inspired [...]

Still Shopping Free People? Think Again…
Remember Elle’s infamous Exposed: Urban Outfitters guest post? After reading it, many budget fashion followers (me included) lamented that we could no longer support Free People, a design company that is owned by the Urban Outfitters parent company and is involved in many of the shady practices Richard Hayne’s corporations promote. Still, I have heard through the grapevine that some [...]
