An Ode to My Former Wardrobe

14 months ago I hopped on a plane (or two) to sunny New Zealand, leaving most of my wardrobe behind. I packed my favourite items into my backpack and off I went. Not long after starting my trip I declared that I would try not to purchase any new clothes for a whole year to keep my wardrobe sustainable (and it went pretty well ). After 14 months of wearing the same pieces, I have to admit I am getting quite bored. Most of my capsule wardrobe consists of 3 colours: black, white, rusty orange so it's fairly easy to mix and match my pieces but I am longing for some change, particularly as my style continues to evolve. I miss my pink cords, my favourite blue denim jeans that I wore constantly. I want my abundance of oat coloured jumpers and my favourite customised blazer. I have developed a real appreciation for the wardrobe that I left behind and find myself styling outfits that I will wear when I return home. I am so used to wearing the same outfits that some of my old

Finding Everyday Comfort with Sustainable Loungewear - AD

AD - PR Products from Boody and Affiliate Links Shaper Bra in Dark Olive Active Full Leggings I don't know about you but I really can't bear wearing jeans around the house at the moment. Seeing as we are spending our lives in doors, comfy clothing is what I need.

Using organic bamboo, Boody aims to have a minimal impact on the environment. Bamboo uses less water, less CO2 and minimises deforestation so is a preferable materia

Eplanita Eco-Friendly Phone Case - An Honest Review

I recently upgraded my phone to a second hand iPhone XR and, quite frankly, I am a very clumsy person. Sometimes I seem to just throw my phone on the floor or it leaps out of my hands as if by magic so a new phone case was very important. Instead of buying another cute yet completely made of plastic phone case, I looked for one that was a bit more sustainable. There's a huge range of biodegradable and sustainable phone cases out there. They are usually made from coffee grounds, cork or wheat straw. I decided to opt for one made out of wheat straw and TPU that's fully biodegradable. I purchased the Eplanita biodegradable XR phone case in Khaki . One major set back with this is not all of the Eplanita phone cases are available on their website but they are all available on Amazon. This kind of sucks since we all know that Amazon's ethics and morals are not exactly great so it's not ideal that a sustainable brand is selling their items on there, especially when they h
