The Weather is Gross, Let's Travel....


It says skies are clear in Malibu right now. The Malibu Lemon Blossom scent has a blend of lemony Litsea Cubeba, flowering Angel's Trumpet, fresh herbs & salty sea breezes. Wish I could be there instead.

The weather in France is similar to Northern California right now. Cloudy, windy, rainy & cold - but we don't have the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre. This French Lilac is a blend of lilac, magnolia leaves, heliotrope, ylang ylang, hyacinth & subtle notes of nectarine. I'll just pretend those twinkling lights are the Eiffel Tower.

The weather report for Brazil says it is raining & in the 90s! If I had 90 degree weather in this rain, I'd be in heaven. I'll just light this candle instead. With a cross between peach and apricot with pineapple undertones this delicious blend mingles sultry, fleshy Mango with bright, tart grapefruit. It is reminiscent of summer & makes me yearn for warmer days.
I spent a part of my honeymoon in Tuscany & have been dreaming every day of going back. I want to eat pizza in the plaza every day, stomp grapes & eat blood oranges. In this delectable blend, juicy and spicy Blood Orange is offset with subtle Strawberry and Raspberry notes and grounded in fleshy Mandarin and Italian Sweet Orange. An orange connoisseur's dream.

It was 89 degrees in Tahiti today. It was in the 50s here, and pouring rain all day. This heady, vintage-inspired blend showcases the sacred Gardenia bloom, a symbol of love, unity, grace and strength. It's sweet, smooth and slightly citrusy aroma is reminiscent of Jasmine, Sweet Orange and Tea Leaves. So much better than rain...

Prairie Underground!




A little bit about one of our favorite brands:

We have used sustainable and organic fabrics in every collection we have produced beginning with Summer of 2005. While it has always been a part of our business ethic to incorporate these materials we have shied away from describing ourselves exclusively as an eco line because that only describes a part of our business. We want to be a populist line so matters of accessibility, economy, domestic production and style are all a part of our design philosophy. We are also designers with an idiosyncratic point of view, obsessive about fit and how our end user will wear our clothes every day. We want to make non-conformist uniforms for cool working women.


We produce and ship every item in the collection, none of the clothing we show is for editorial only and all styles are available in stores, even if that means cutting 20 pieces. This business supports us entirely, and is helping to keep active a diminishing network of sewing contractors in Seattle. All of our production is subcontracted to local sew shops and the majority of our fabric is knitted in the United States.
