4 Ways to Style that H&M Knitted Vest

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month or so, you’ve no doubt seen those H&M knitted vests or gilets that are allllll over the internet. First came the v-neck, then the high neck and now I think I’ve even seen a crop version pop up a couple of days ago. They are the perfect in-between season piece for someone like me who’s pretty much dying to get their knitwear out, but is also still wrestling with some sort of Indian Summer or mini September heatwave.

How my shopping habits are changing with the times

How my shopping habits are changing with the times

Over the last 2 to 3 years, my shopping habits have begun to really change. Looking back at a few years ago, I can remember a time when I was obsessed with fast fashion and would spend £100 every other week in Primark, coming home with hauls of new outfits, that I would inevitably wear once and then throw to the back of my wardrobe.

This came partly from an obsession with different trends and wanting to always be wearing the latest piece but also from a love of fashion and a desire to be creative with the way I dressed and expressed myself every day. However, over recent years I’ve started to think more consciously about my shopping habits and am (hopefully) making changes for the better.

Why I like to shop the Summer sales for my Autumn/Winter pieces

Yes, I said it, Autumn/Winter! I’ve gone there and there’s no going back. So as we’re creeping further into the second half of the year, I’ve started to think about colder weather trends, mainly because it’s my favourite time of year to dress for and I get so excited at the thought of switching up my wardrobe, layering up and pulling the leather trousers back out!

Black Lives Matter

This is a bit of a different post for me today, but following on from the recent events surrounding the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement across the world, I’ve been reflecting on not only my own experiences as a lighter-skinned black woman but also what I’ve been doing so far in my life, to contribute to racial equality.

My favourite ways to unwind after a day WFH

Recently, my morning and evening routines have become my landmarks for every day and I’m really precious about what I do and don’t do within that time. Since not going into the office each day, I’ve really enjoyed getting some extra time back which is usually sucked up with the daily commute and am making the most of it by taking some extra time to relax and start or end my days in the best way for me.

How I’m adjusting to Working from Home (In the real world)


So the majority of the country are working from home at the moment and I don’t know about you but I have been inundated with WFH tips, tricks and ideas from online magazines, bloggers and healthcare providers to name just a few. I have found it really useful to read how different people are adjusting to the change or even how seasoned home workers have been balancing their daily routine for years. I think for most of us it’s a new and uncertain time, so it’s good to share best practice and be able to change and learn as we go.

How to stay positive and productive whilst stuck indoors

With the current global health situation, a lot of people will be staying indoors more over the next few weeks, whether through choice or not. I’ve been at home a lot more myself due to having to work from home, rather than going into the office and I am already climbing the walls. I really struggle to stay inside the house all day for just 24 hours, let alone weeks at a time so this has got me thinking of different things I can do to occupy my mind and time.

6 Ways To Style your way through ‘No Spend January’

January often feels like theeeeeee longest month of the year. It follows all of the fun and festivities of December with a sudden, much more serious tone. We love to use this time to set new goals and resolutions, get our heads down into a busy period at work and make those all-important self-improvements after reflecting on our mistakes or downfalls from the previous year. After chatting to work colleagues and friends, it seems like this month is absolutely full to the brim of healthy eating, no alcohol and zero spending.

Why it’s important to have the Confidence to Be Yourself with Fashion & Style

Fashion and style is a part of our everyday lives, whether you like to think it is or not. Each morning when you pick out what top to wear, or which shoes are most appropriate for the day you are making a conscious decision on how to style yourself for the day ahead. Every time you buy a new pair of jeans, whether that be from the high street, the supermarket, a charity/thrift store or a premium design house, you are buying into the fashion industry and the many different elements within it.

Where to shop for Sustainable Fashion on the High Street

You might remember back in October I wrote about Fast Fashion and its effects as one of the largest polluters to the planet, only second to the oil industry.  I also wrote about my desire to make some changes to my own shopping and lifestyle habits to reduce my consumption and also my use of Fast Fashion products, so 3 months on it’s time for a little update… Continue reading “Where to shop for Sustainable Fashion on the High Street” →
