I regularly check Refinery 29 for the best girly-girl stuff: shopping and style advice. Just a couple weeks ago they featured an article with some of the best shopping advice yet: 7 Steps to Shopping Ethically.
Their steps, which I briefly summarize here, are great basic principles to keep in mind whenever you're at a store of any kind.
1. Educate yourself.
2. Pressure brands to reform.
3. Go for quality, not quantity.
4. Go vintage/used.
5. Shop local.
6. Give back.
7. Choose goods from eco manufacturers and brands.
