A Day for Men
I both love and dread Father’s Day. My dad’s such a cool guy: he went from a mechanic to a top sales guy, from teaching SCUBA diving to owning his own business, from childhood dreams to being a part-time cop who spends weekends at car shows…and he’s done it all by breaking the rules of [...]

New Eco-Markdowns, For Men & Women, at Tobi.com
All I can say today is: Mmm, shopping. I’m not sure why, but I’m definitely in “buy new stuff” mode, and keep having to review my personal wish lists to remind myself that not every great deal is worth giving up that new loveseat I want. Or is it? Prairie Underground Town Coat: $326 $195 [...]

Sustainable Sales: 20% Off Denim at Tobi
Organic denim is wicked expensive – so expensive that I don’t actually own any organic denim, because I just plain can’t afford it unless it goes on sale. So, of course, just after I start to dig myself out of the hole from moving to a new house, taking the dog to the vet, paying [...]

Yes, I’m Still Talking About Vicarious by Nature
I know, you’re sick of it. Every time I see Vicarious By Nature (or VbN) I can’t help but tell you about it. It’s like a reflex at this point: if you live in Seattle, you drink coffee every morning. If you live in Seattle and love sustainable clothing, you become obsessed with VbN. That’s [...]

Thursday’s Sustainable Sales: a Couple of Favorites
I’m trying to stay away from making regular “sample sale” posts, because as more and more companies go green, more of them offer their items up to places like Gilt, Beyond the Rack, Ideeli and Hautelook…and if I posted about all of the sustainable sales those sites provide, that’s all I’d post. However, when I [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Boots for Men
All right, men. You asked, and I deliver: this is part two of Flesh It Out: Vegan Shoes for Men. You all seemed to appreciate Part I (Vegan Dress Shoes), and to be candid (and a little sappy) I’m just pleased to have a decent male following. Who says intelligent, eco-conscious men aren’t fashionable? This round [...]

Skeletal Fashion
Halloween’s over, which means it’s the perfect time to buy things with skeletons on them. (Wait, what?) Allow me to explain: When I was a kid, my mom bought me the perfect pair of overalls. They were the perfect shade of blue, had little pink hearts on them, fit me perfectly, and were so comfortablethat [...]

Eco-Friendly Stocking Stuffers (Part I)
I’m the kind of girl that absolutely has to start my holiday shopping early. Post-Thanksgiving deals aside, I’d rather pay a little more and have the extra time, than deal with the stress from trying to keep the extra cash. Stocking stuffers are always the hardest part for me. What the hell is small enough [...]

Sustainable Sales: Mountainsmith
Maybe it’s the Pacific Northwest in me, but one of my favorite physical activities – the one that gets my blood pumping and puts my soul at ease – is hiking. The taste of crisp, clean air, the feeling of hard-packed dirt beneath my boots, the view of so much green at the top of [...]
