I can’t believe it’s been three years since I first heard about b green organic clothing.  I visited their green festival booth back in March of oh-nine and made a purchase right then and there: b green organic classic bikini-cut panties.  To this day, they’re still my favorite pair! I recently wore my b greens during [...]

Ever wanted to know what ethical, eco-friendly brands you can find at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack? Check here!

Earlier this week I proclaimed my desire to go to Scotland to see Highland Cattle in their indigenous habitat.  Today I found Re-Dress, an Irish organization that utilizes education, cooperative practices and public events to encourage ethical fashion practices.  If I stumble across an ethical English designer tomorrow, that’s it, I give in, I’m flying [...]

I love Valentine’s Day, and one of the reasons is that my partner and I decided, at the start of our relationship, that we would do nothing romantic on Valentine’s Day. (New Years Eve is our “romantic holiday.”) Instead, we’d hook up with our not-paired-up friends and do whatever the hell suited us. Still, I’ll [...]

I consider myself a definitely wedge connoisseur… All wedges get a fair chance in my world, and each get the same amount of respect. Well, until the bar is raised, anyway. Then it’s time, again, for the world of wedges to step up their game. This bar-raising occured promptly after I set eyes on the Quail Boots [...]

She first caught our eye when she announced her Green Carpet Challenge where she proclaimed that all her red carpet dresses for the year would be sustainable – and she did it! [...]

I am so ambivalent about ModCloth. I love that they introduce me to independent designers – they led me to today’s independent fashion designer, Kelly Lane – but hate that they change the name of every design they feature. Give me the designer’s vision for the piece, ModCloth. Words have power. Let the designers’ titles [...]

Ugghhhh, I’m so tired.  Can you hear the whine in my voice?  That’s my tired whine.  It is distinct from my other whines.  (I bet your whines are distinct, too; you just haven’t noticed.) I have this awesome 100% cotton, horizontally-striped maxi dress at home, but it’s too short and, after my holiday fun, probably [...]

Your word of the day, dear readers, is mei.  Mei translates from Chinese to “beautiful,” a word that is often replaced with “cute,” “pretty” or “hot,” but is much more classy and should be used more often (in English or Chinese). Mei Vintage, a woman-owned handbag company, has the perfect descriptive name: they create beautiful [...]

The end of the year is so dangerous for me. It’s especially dangerous this year: I’ve just resolved that I’d like to buy a house, which means “save save save”…which actually means “quit buying all the things on the internet.” But mooooooom, LovingEco is having a saaaaaale. LovingEco, an ethical sample sale website that we [...]
