This beauty review was contributed by my super-good friend Zoë, whose blossoming lipstick addiction has definitely affected our friendship in a neutral-to-positive way, and I am very grateful that she is sharing her experience with Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - a vegan, 100% ...
Considering Broke & Beautiful has been around for over seven years, it's kind of odd that there aren't more of these year-end, wrap-up type posts. I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me, but this year I feel like ...
Remember Naja Lingerie? The lingerie company that educates and employs women while creating affordable lingerie made from luxury fabrics? I wrote about Naja at length a few months ago, detailing their beautiful bras and amazing patterns and getting lost in the ...
It's so tempting to call this "crap stock" because I'm bratty, but we'll stick with Vegetable Scrap Stock. This is one of the best, most economical tricks I've learned in my decade of experience as a semi-professional broke person. Vegetable ...
Maybe it's my age, or my desire to spend my money on things that truly make me happy, but lingerie and intimates have been showing up on my wish lists more often since I hit my late 20s. It could ...
My boyfriend found Tuft & Needle by Googling the phrase "Warby Parker for mattresses." I'm not sure what led him to do this, but when you see their website it totally makes sense. Clean and beautiful web design, low prices--and, ...
In case you need a refresher, I am way into ethical, sustainable shopping, and when you combine that with cool, clever design - you have my heart (& probably my dollar). To throw luxury on top of that while keeping ...
Wood is an underused material in fashion, if you ask me. Before a few years ago, wood didn't have much more than a cameo as a purse handle or, bless, toggles on a terrible winter coat. Recently, though, a shift ...
StyleSaint is a brand that's doing that, but on an entirely different level than we're used to. They work hard to produce their garments as ethically as possible, from the environmental impact to the fair wages, and top of that ...
This line is so new, it's still brushing fashion eggshell off its shoulders. If you're into American-made, ethically sourced clothing that doesn't compete with your mortgage when it comes to price, Oak73 is going to be your next favorite shop ...

As a big fan of Alternative Apparel - both for product-related and ethical reasons - I am really excited to tell you that today's DD features one of their deliciously comfortable jackets in a super cute polka-dot pattern... ...
Internet-compadre and denim blogger, Hayley from Denim Debutante, brought this awesome sale to my attention late last night and I had to share. Remember REUSE denim? They are an eco-friendly, sustainable brand of premium denim that has been receiving rave ...
I know, I know - it's been a steady stream of faux leather lately, and I promise it'll let up soon. There's just something about August that makes me excited for the upcoming months when thinking about leather gloves won't ...
Recently, I got the opportunity to test out a new, USA-made line of nail polish called LuxeCoat. Left to right: Bordeaux, Mint Chip, and Velvet LuxeCoat is a brand based in Los Angeles that offers a monthly membership style program, ...
Giveaways are awesome and they always make me feel good, but when the giveaway is also an ethical fashion product - that feels even better. This time around, we partnered with San Francisco's WOOED by Wood Sunglasses that will make you feel ...
Have you ever had a tomato out of a garden? Like, a real, grown-by-people-who-water-them-by-hand, organic tomato? If you have, you probably know that there is an enormous difference between a garden-fresh tomato and the kind of red, perfectly-round orbs you ...
At one point, when I was still in middle school, I had a collection of sunglasses that was unmatched. I remember arranging them neatly and evenly on a shelf that spanned about 60 inches, placing them each about 3 inches ...
I am in a pickle! I fell in love with a dress upon first sight... There was just one problem: I didn't really like the dress. Let me explain. Dorothy Perkins Faux Leather Aztec Print Dress, $69 I love this ...
As far as I can tell, there are two types of cheap shoppers: diggers, and non-diggers. Diggers are the ones who will walk into a Marshalls, Ross or Nordstrom Rack and take a deep breath with a smile - as ...
