Last days of summer ☀️

-

 






We are slowly but not so surely waving goodbye to summer - the climate crisis has of course made sure of that. Autumn is now ripening, which means bye bye summer wardrobe and hello winter wardrobe. 

Before saying goodbye to summer completely, I wanted to share some of the favourite fashion conscious items that I wore during the last days of summer. 

The amazing tie-dye dungarees are from Lucy and Yak. A very sustainable and caring clothing brand. Everything they design and make is kind to the climate, and kind to those who work with them. 

The red and orange two-pieces, are from Monki and & Other Stories. Of course both of these companies fall under the umbrella of H&M, which I couldn’t believe was rated ‘Good’ on the Good On You sustainability scale - go H&M! They have certainly gone up in the world since I was a mini person. The brand has done a lot to achieve this rating (e.g., most of their clothing is made from recycled material, you can recycle your clothes at H&M stores and receive “conscious” points, and they now have a conscious range). Brilliant! 

However, now that crisp autumn breeze is in the air, it is time to pull out the vintage jumpers and knits, and I can’t wait! 

Stay safe, and wrap up warm!

Flower Power Fri-yay!

 It’s Friday!  Bank holiday Mondays are such a treat, but I always feel that the rest of the week feels much longer somehow?  I haven’t posted on here for a while. But I had a colour-full week last week, full of exciting garments. So, thought I would share.  I have decided to swear off fast, unsustainable fashion. The climate crisis is worsening rapidly so I am trying my hardest to do my bit for the planet. Including changing my lifestyle, clothing brands and household decor/ toiletries. If you want to start reducing your carbon footprint but aren’t sure where to start, there are two apps that I highly recommend! The first is ‘Good On You’, which gives you the sustainable ratings of clothing brands. You will be shocked at how unsustainable some of your favourite brands are! I certainly was! The second is ‘MLPF’, which is all about reducing the amount of plastic you use by replacing it with eco-friendly alternatives. You can create your own plastic diet, and make a ch...

Colour-full bucket twat

  Happy Sunday!  We have all been waiting patiently for a bit of sunshine. So, when I looked at the weather forecast on Thursday and read that the long bank holiday weekend was going to be a warm one, I was ecstatic! And as the government has relaxed the ‘rule-of-six’; permitting groups of six to meet indoors, I was able to actually see real-life people! In person! I expect a lot of people are relieved that they can now see their loved ones face-to-face, and give them a ‘cautious’ hug!  So onto the fashion side of things; I am not usually a bucket hat fan. My partner loves them, and wears them everywhere. Even around the house! However, this funky little number caught my eye on Depop a couple of weeks ago, and one impulsive buy later, here it is on my head!  The multi-coloured pattern is very much a bit of me. I looked at it and thought “I need this in my life”.  So, apologises to all the bucket hat fans out there! To my surprise, bucket hats can be awesome and...

Full of Autumnal Colour

  I’m going to be honest with you, I haven’t written on this blog in a very long time, and it is all because I forgot my log in details 🤦🏼‍♀️😂!  But! I am back now! Ready to share some more colour-full clothing with all you lovely readers (if I have any 😂).  I even have a life update to share! My partner and I are in the process of buying our first home! And jeez has it been a stressful process! No one warned us that it was going to be as hard as it has been. We are 3 months into our house buying journey, and still could loose the property we are purchasing at any given moment. Such a nightmare! There has been what feels like a million ups and downs, and I am sure there are more to come. However, I am hoping next time I write on my blog, we will be settling into our new home.  Anyways! Fashion! I know it is no longer autumn, but I bought this amazing, corduroy dungaree dress in the Lucy and Yak sale. Their dungarees are THE BEST, as you can adjust them to be as l...
