In a previous post I wrote why we should avoid fast fashion but that isn’t always a realistic aim especially as more sustainable, slow fashion brands can have an expensive price tag. What if you want to create a more conscious wardrobe, but can’t afford to avoid fast fashion? Can’t afford to avoid fast fashion? …
In an effort to make more sustainable fashion choices I decided to only buy clothing that has been pre-owned for the whole of 2019. It has made me really consider how much I need something before I buy it. I’ve also been shopping my wardrobe more which has meant I get more wear out of …

I have bought a couple of things from SHEIN in the past and it seems to be the place to go for designer dupes. I’ve bought a skirt and Chanel style mules but I find the site better for accessories as it’s a hassle to return clothes if they don’t fit. I think it is …

On this little corner of the internet there has gradually become a focus on the ethical and sustainable. …
I was recently introduced to Celtic & Co, a brand I’d actually never come across before. Normally I only feature brands I have a personal experience with but having researched them I felt compelled to post.
