[starreviewmulti id=2 tpl=20 style='plain' size='16' average_stars='darkness' average_size='16'] I seem to be racking up quite a list of places that are, in my opinion, unethical to shop at.  They’re namely big box stores – Target, Wal-Mart* – and trendy chains – Urban Outfitters, American Apparel.  The biggest complaint I get is this: So if I can’t [...]

[starreviewmulti id=2 tpl=20 style='plain' size='16' average_stars='darkness' average_size='16'] After losing touch for over a year, artist Christina Entcheva and I crossed paths again.  I asked if she was planning on adding more art to her Etsy store, and found out that she’d e-moved: So I clicked through, and found a whole new side of Christina, and [...]

Exhibit B: Cuffed bootie, aptly titled the Hendrix Boot.Stats: [...]

Charmone

[starreviewmulti id=2 tpl=20 style='plain' size='16' average_stars='darkness' average_size='16'] Charmoné is the kind of company you want to point out to every eco-fashion skeptic you know.  When people complain that fashionable shoes have to be made out of leather, or that conscious brands are filled with ugly flats and “safe” colors, all I have to do is [...]
