I have been looking for a sustainable shoe, particularly some heeled mules, for a while. My first choice was to find some secondhand, but couldn't really find what I wanted. Specifically, I was looking for brown leather heeled mules that weren't super high. Being that I'm a little older and have arthritis on my left [...]
I am now 46 years old. When I was younger, I bought heeled pumps/sandals that I still own to this day. I found that I haven't really worn them a lot and they are very nice shoes. Majority of them are designer shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo. I have a slight obsession with that brand. Since [...]
I have been wanting a pair of Veja Sneakers for a really long time, but I really tried to not buy something new for a while. Additionally, every time I went online, I couldn't find the exact pair that I wanted. I didn't want to buy one in a color that I already had, so [...]

I love bodysuits. I actually needed some v-neck and turtleneck ones and I decided to make my first foray into the world of Everlane. I am really trying not to buy anything new, but when I do buy, I really try to do it with only sustainable companies. Hence, I looked to Everlane, since they [...]
Navigating through the rental company landscape does require a lot of trial and error. In my previous blog, I spoke about why I decided to use rentals as a sustainability option. I wrote this blog to tell you my experiences of the companies I've tried and my opinions about each of them. Once again, these [...]
I used to be one of those people that would take a full size, instead of a carry on suitcase, when I travel for trips of short of long duration. Why? Because I would fill my bag with stuff that I shopped for during my travels. I usually shopped for clothes and shoes. This time [...]
Clothing Rental is becoming quite the craze. I didn't really know what to expect when I started to try it, but I've become quite a fan. When I started thinking about controlling my fashion consumption and going on this sustainability journey, I started doing some research on clothing rental. As I continued to do my [...]
