Slow fashion, sewing, & sustainability
Being a perfectionist is one of those things you’re supposed to say in an interview when they ask what your weaknesses are. It’s made to sound like a bad thing that you sneakily turn into something good. (Does anyone actually do this anymore, or is it too well known now?) In my case, it could
Today’s outfit is featuring some old yet classic favourites that I’ve had in my wardrobe for a long time. It just goes to go that when you buy high quality, classic pieces, you can wear them for years and they won’t go out of style! I still love all of these and wear them regularly.
If you’ve ever shopped at a drug store for nail polish, you’ll know that there are entire walls just full of colours. Hundreds of subtly different shades of red; each brand’s take on the new ‘in’ colours; the latest long-wear, no-chip, perfect formula (until the next one comes out). And right next to that will

It got me thinking more about the benefits of slow travel, something I would like to do more of. I have always loved
In winter of 2017/18, I took part in my very first ‘official’ capsule wardrobe. Up until then I had been slowly working to declutter and downsize my closet, but this was the first time that I actually planned a set number of pieces that I would wear for a span of 3 months. Today I
Here is my week in outfits from my first week wearing my spring capsule wardrobe! It’s still a little chilly out for full-on spring wear, but the days are definitely getting longer so hopefully that changes soon. So far I’m doing okay without all the black, but talk to me in a month. All of
It all started with cleaning out a closet. I am not a very outgoing person. In fact, I’m quite the opposite. I have a tendency to be shy, a little self conscious, and a lot awkward at times. And I really dislike being the centre of attention. And yet, I have a blog where I
