Skip Cyber Monday and shop your own wardrobe

26/11/2018
We’re coming close to the end of my no-buy November challenge and I won’t lie, the staples in my wardrobe are running dry, so to mix things up I thought I’d try to incorporate a summer dress that’s been worn to death over the last two summers into an outfit for a chilly Saturday in

Are Topshop ethical?

23/11/2018
This was a really hard post for me to begin as I’m such a huge fan of Topshop and always have been – I think I’ve put it off for so long as I’m unsure whether I can continue shopping with them, but we must continue with this investigation (although the latest Sir Phillip Green

The Ridiculousness of Black Friday in the U.K.

21/11/2018
If you’ve read my recent post on the No-buy November Challenge, you’ll know I’m probably a bit bitter about the fact that I’m on a clothes spending ban right now (it’s been a lot harder than I originally thought it would be and I’m surprised at the amount of things I convince myself I need

The Re-launch of The Fashion Faux Pas Of Gabrielle

18/11/2018
It’s almost 3 years since I launched The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle and I can’t quite believe that I’ve stuck with it after all of this time – I found an old blog of mine that I started in uni, wrote around six posts on and abandoned it (some of the posts were hilarious),

Make Do And Mend

As part of my No Buy November Challenge, I thought I’d pull out a couple of bits from my wardrobe that I’ve been meaning to fix or alter, but haven’t gotten around to. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t be bothered before but now I’m feeling the itch for buying some new clothes, the only way

Inthefrow’s The New Fashion Rules

I’m a sucker for a good book, but give me a book about fashion and I’m running up to the tills like a loon or pre-ordering that shit pronto. So when Victoria Magrath (best known as inthefrow) announced she was going to be releasing a book all about fashion in the last twenty years, you

Revolution Pro Lipstick Review

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a recent story where I showed this selection of lipsticks that I picked up in our local Superdrug when I was sniffing around the new bits they had in. I was after a red lipstick as I’ve unfortunately parted ways with my Mac Ruby Woo

The No Buy November Challenge and Rocking My Failsafe Clothes

05/11/2018
In light of my recent posts about being ethical and environmentally friendly fashion brands, I thought I would show my dedication to the cause by challenging myself to an entire month without buying ANY CLOTHES! Now I hear the gasps, the wonder whether I could actually spend an entire month without caving into my internal

Learning to chill the F out with some yoga

02/11/2018
I want to start off this post to confirm I haven’t gone hippy on you all, I won’t be leaving the country to pursue a life in the Indian mountains, searching for the meaning of life. HOWEVER, I have started to fall in love with yoga and I wanted to talk about how that is.

How to be more sustainable with your clothes
