If like me you love your morning (and mid-morning, and mid-afternoon) coffee you’ll likely have noticed the increase in cafes offering single-use compostable cups for takeaway. And if you’re like me you thought: “This is awesome! Finally a guilt-free way to enjoy coffee on the go when I forget my re-usable cup!” But wait right … Continue reading

Wear what you love
Apparently flute sleeves and cold shoulders are out, peasant tops and tiered skirts are in. And as much as I like trends, I like this top more. So I’m going to keep wearing it. This fast fashion top from 2017 is not something I’d buy again for so many reasons (blended fibres so can’t be … Continue reading
Rewearing what we own is the most sustainable option
Another day, another old outfit. This dress is from Topshop 2017, which is a brand I stopped shopping with because of the sexual assault and racist accusations made against Philip Green. Vote with your wallet, right? And while I put this dress away for a while, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve already got … Continue reading
Not buying new for holidays
Last summer, for the first time in my adult life, I bought no new clothing or accessories for a weeklong holiday in Spain. In the past, shopping for my holiday was almost as fun as being on the holiday. This meant new clothes, new accessories and new shoes. And I’m not alone here: in the … Continue reading

AMSTERDAM, 29 FEBRUARY 2020
In the past whenever I’ve gone on holiday I’ve had a big suitcase. My mentality was to just chuck it all in and figure it out later. But this trip was different: we planned to visit 7 cities in 14 days, and I didn’t want to be lugging a big case around every two days. Continue reading
Only buy what makes your heart sing
Only buy what makes your heart sing. š¶ I bought this dress, bag, shoes and denim jacket for the same reason: I tried them on / picked the items up and thought “this has got to be mine”. I like to listen to that voice, because those items always become my most worn. When it … Continue reading
What I Wore: holiday in Rio de Janeiro
When I was planning to visit Rio my first thought was to bringĀ all of the skimpy layers I never get to wear in London – short shorts! tiny tank tops! drapey boho styles! But then I did some research, and realised that, actually, that might not be the best idea. We were travelling in November … Continue reading
What I Wore: ASOS cutout dress for playing on Madrid rooftops
I picked this star dress up in the sales last summer, and it’s one that, as much as I loved it when I bought it, I never really wear because I always feel a bit too showy in it in thatĀ is everyone looking at me? way. But with rooftop bars and dinner out on the … Continue reading
