Slow fashion, sewing, & sustainability
One of the things I struggle with most as a slow fashion influencer is keeping up with fashion trends while staying true to my values. Don’t get me wrong – I am much happier now that I’ve simplified my wardrobe, reduced the number of pieces, and learned to shop with more intention. But at the
I turned 29 a few days ago. To be honest, it doesn’t feel that different – not as different, anyway, as I expect turning 30 next year will feel. At the same time, looking back on this year makes me realize how much has changed. I quit my job, started working full-time on my blog

I’m particularly excited because it’s my favourite season of the year, not least of all for the fashion. I love cosy knits
Don’t you just love it when the seasons change? It always makes me feel refreshed, like I have a clean slate and a new beginning. I especially love when summer turns to fall, the leaves turn red and orange, and I pull out all of my cosy knits from deep within my drawers. I hope
A little over a month ago, a representative from Phillip Adam reached out to me on Instagram asking if I’d like to try their best-selling product: the apple cider vinegar shampoo.

Welcome back! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I recently participated in the summer 2018 10 x 10 challenge. The 10 x 10 challenge is a style challenge created by Lee Vosburgh of Style Bee in which you choose ten items and create ten outfits to wear over ten days. To learn
