Opting for cute, sustainable clothing is a much easier way to feel less guilty about feeding into fast fashion corporations like Forever 21 and Fashion Nova, many of which own inherently dehumanizing sweat-shops with little to no remorse for the workers and environmental toll this takes on us.


1. Reformation 

While definitely on the expensive side, their cohesive plan to consider water input, energy input, land use, eco-toxicity, greenhouse gas emissions, human toxicity, availability and price when manufacturing clothes makes up for its high-end prices.

2. Alternative Apparel, Inc.

It's budget-friendliness and incorporates organic and recycled materials wherever possible, with most of their clothes being under $100.

3. Levi's

Levi's jeans are by far the most sustainable, with initiatives like Cotton's Blue Jeans Go Green™ program that recycled over 2.4 million pieces of denim and diverted over 1,200 tons of textile waste from landfills.

4. Everlane 

Everlane focuses on their workers as well, and ensure to keep up to ethical standards by paying close attention to factors like fair wages, reasonable hours, and environment.

5. Stella McCartney 

Luxury fashion, but make it sustainable. Stella McCartney pushes towards transparency, protecting ancient and endangered forests and measuring our impact and footprint.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
