Hey everyone! Long time no see. You probably noticed that I promised you a bunch of blog posts over the last month, and instead, I wrote none. If it made you sad, I'm sorry. It makes me sad, too. I love Instagram (where I still post more-or-less daily), but this is my favorite space. This [...]
One of the biggest topics of conversation around the ethical fashion water cooler these days is this: why does all ethical fashion look the same?

Fashion For Good is an Amsterdam based company that defines itself as "a global initiative to make all fashion good." They're all about using innovation and collaboration to make lasting changes in fashion that [...]
When I started buying second-hand, it was because I had just graduated from college and I needed to look like a Certified Adult ASAP if I wanted to get a job. Luckily for me, the consignment shops of Washington, DC are like mid-range business casual Mecca. Ann Taylor suits. J. Crew cashmere sweaters. Banana Republic [...]
I'm not really a review kind of blog, mainly because I don't buy clothing that often, and when I do, it's usually just something basic that I needed from Poshmark. I try to limit my clothing purchases to garments that were either ethically produced or thrifted, and since ethical clothing is expensive and we are [...]
