I don't think you need a 10-paragraph history of my menstrual cycle for me to explain to you how my period underwear completely changed my life, but I'll provide some highlights that I think are important for context: Three years ago, I switched from using hormonal birth control pills to a copper IUD. Until January [...]
It's an exciting week, you guys. Instagram-darling ethical fashion brand Tradlands is officially seven years old, and to celebrate, they're doing it up with a very good anniversary sale. I'm sure that many of you already know this because it's been all over the 'gram, but seriously, it's a good sale. Tradlands clothes are really [...]
We're already five days into the new year, and I'm feeling good about 2020. This is going to be a tough year, especially the next few months of it, but I think that I've set myself up to succeed. I am *officially* registered for the GRE, which means this graduate school plan just became a [...]
It's that odd, liminal time between Christmas and New Years, and I've lost pretty much all sense of schedule and structure. My mom was visiting us all last week and I was off from work, so mostly I've just been reading, cooking, eating, eating, and did I mention eating? We had a good time. While [...]
I've been blogging about personal style for almost two years, but I don't think I really hit my stride getting dressed until the late spring of this year. I took a look through all my outfit photos from 2019 in preparation for this post, but I didn't see even one that I really liked until [...]
It goes against all my minimalist principles to say so, but I love giving and receiving gifts. A friend of mine mentioned in a conversation last night that giving gifts is her love language, i.e., the way that she expresses her love for others. I feel like receiving gifts is how I feel loved by [...]
Black Friday is a polarizing day in the ethical fashion community. There are essentially two camps - camp one criticizes Black Friday as an event that promotes overconsumption, and therefore chooses not to participate, and camp two acknowledges that Black Friday is one of the few days of the year when ethical & sustainable fashion [...]
I don't usually do "closet update" type posts, but I've added several things to my wardrobe since my last post and I thought it would be fun to share some mini reviews. I've been pretty absent from the blog lately, so I apologize for that, but I am active on Instagram again. Feel free to [...]
Today I'm excited to be writing a good old fashioned Everlane review. The item in question? The ReWool Italian Overcoat, a gorgeous double-breasted coat that I would say is the crown jewel of Everlane's new ReWool line of recycled wool garments. I've been pinning long camel coats on my secret fashion Pinterest board for years. [...]
There are two things in my wardrobe that I have plenty of and yet I cannot stop buying: white button-downs and black dresses. They're both such classic, go-anywhere garments, and somehow no matter how many I have in my closet, I always want more. Earlier this year I bought a black dress from the Canada-based [...]
