ECIG: Kelly Lane

January 9, 2012

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 [...]

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 [...]

I used to be the kind of tea snob that would only drink “real tea.” It had to be pure, it had to be brewed at the right temperature, and it certainly didn’t need any cream, sugar or bits of fruit in it. Luckily, I got over that phase. These days, I drink tea more [...]

This just proves, once again, that you can’t judge a store by its specialty – there are eco-friendly gems everywhere!

What will you be wearing this New Year’s Eve?

We first noticed these gorgeous tops when ZARA launched it US e-commerce site a few months ago. I actually picked one up (the top on the right!), and am pleased to report that the quality is excellent, and the shirt is wonderful! 100% organic cotton in a classic style – for less than $20 – [...]

Panty Party: Blanche Du Mois

December 20, 2011

“Soy Kashmere” and organic cotton – need I say more?

Before this gets messy… this shirt is not actually magic. If you clicked over looking for something that was more “authentically” or ”literally” magic – I apologize. This post is pure disappointment for you. But for those of you who don’t mind getting a little fast & loose with your magical boundaries, you are about to be delighted. Once [...]

Vicariously

November 30, 2011

My partner is playing hookie today, and since I work from… well, wherever, we decided that a morning coffee date was most definitely in order. Little did we know, until we got to the shop, that we were decked out in the exact same brand: Vicarious by Nature. So, obviously, we looked amazing. I recently stole [...]

Do you watch Breaking Bad? I do. I love it. I am possibly in love with the actor who plays Jesse. This may be because, when I was a teenager, I seemed to gravitate toward bad boys of middling height and a skinny frame who are only bad because ~they’re tortured~ and whatever. Also, shaved [...]

ECIG: Miles of Light

November 21, 2011

“My name is Romina Bacci. “It started as a photographic diary to document moments of my life and travels between North and South America — a way to fill the distance between 5,000 miles of land, air, light.” Romina Bacci, known on Etsy as Miles of Light, doesn’t say a lot on her Etsy page. [...]

Congratulations are in order for one of our favorite eco-friendly brands, Stewart+Brown, who scored a Global Fashion Award for “Most Sustainable Brand!” We have raved about Stewart+Brown so many times over the years… They just keep rocking our world. What a babezilla team, am I right? (Robert Verdi included…?) Stewart+Brown was one of the first [...]

It’s raining all the time and none of my jackets have hoods. I’m a bad Seattlite. I do have a couple of hats, but they’re “interesting” hats. You know, those really cute kitschy ones you buy, and then realize that they fit your daily mindset and style about sixteen percent of the time because yeah, [...]

Panty Party: brook there

November 15, 2011

I like to imagine that really beautiful people live in Maine. They have picnics on the rocky coastline, go sailing near lighthouses, and they probably all have forest homes with secret gardens that have streams running through them. What do these lovely Maine people do in winter, though? Maine winters are powerful cold and because [...]

Panty Party: Sandmaiden

November 8, 2011

When Lindsay first heard of Sandmaiden Sleepwear, this was her response: “I don’t think many people would connect the idea of panties and lingerie with a name like Sandmaiden… but there’s a first time for everything.” She has a point. Still, Sandmaiden has been one of my favorite Etsy sellers for a long, long time, [...]

Were I to ever procreate, I am nearly 100% sure that the assets that will be handed down to my children would all be wrapped up in investment pieces. Seemingly contrary to our budget style philosophy, I fully support and advocate investing in high-quality, timeless, beautiful pieces of clothing and accessories and supplementing the ever-changing [...]

It’s not often that we see celebrities running around the red carpet in ethical gowns and whatnot (unless, of course, you’re Colin Firth’s beautiful wife, Livia). Recently, we heard that Vampirifica actress, Bonnie Swencionis, has joined the list of fashion-savvy, eco-loving celebrities when she wore a dress from 100 Percent NY to Screamfest (a horror film [...]

Earlier this month, we were invited to attend a one-year anniversary party for my favorite ethical beauty brand, Melvita. We arrived, sleepy and worn out from a long week of work, and found the place absolutely packed with people. And we had the best time. The Seattle Melvita is located in Pacific Place, and though [...]

North American Hemp Company Moisturizing and Exfoliating Bundle on OpenSky

Alert. Alert. This is a message from the Girl Problems System. All of my bath products seem to run out at the same time. This is super very important, mostly because it’s annoying me today. We’re only two months from the holiday giving season (please panic with me in three, two…) so I’m trying to [...]
