I recently watched a TikTok of Jordan Theresa’s about online shopping. I have only recently redownloaded TikTok, and since getting the app back on my phone, I only really use it for the occasional doom scroll (if reels are boring me). However, this video reminded me of one reason I use social and digital mediaContinue reading “Online shopping as Self-Gifting”

Is Sustainability becoming a buzzword?
I have always been big on sustainability and ethical consumerism; 17-year-old me was at the car boot every weekend, making secondhand shopping the largest portion of my wardrobe all throughout my adolescence. In my opinion, COVID was when eco-consciousness and sustainability really blew up in the fashion space; an uprising around making your own clothes,Continue reading “Is Sustainability becoming a buzzword?”
5 thoughts since deleting TikTok
Ever since the days of Musically, I have been a lover of the short-haul video app. Through lock-down, I learned countless dances and watched video after video of clothing hauls. I have even, on occasion, gone so far as to use videos as direct inspiration for outfits when I am completely stumped. However, two weeksContinue reading “5 thoughts since deleting TikTok”
My current outfit formula
A thought piece on choosing outfits based on comfort, despite all the noise on social media always pressuring newness and effort.
Why I’m buying less
Each year it’s the same: January arrives, and an influx of self-betterment media takes over. Everyone is obsessing over setting goals for the upcoming year, trying to be the “best version” of themselves, all the while feeding into a very capitalist mindset that makes life more stressful. Personally, this year I will be focusing onContinue reading “Why I’m buying less”
From Exploitation to Education: Learning Manchester’s Fabric Story
This post is going to be different to the content I have been producing recently, but it is important to hold myself and my ignorance accountable, and make it my priority to educate myself. Before I begin, as a white person studying and working within textiles, I recognise that I benefit from the same structuresContinue reading “From Exploitation to Education: Learning Manchester’s Fabric Story”
5 days of outfits: Uni, work and everything in between
As I settle into my final year at uni, I’ve been thinking more about how I dress day to day. Fashion is such a big part of my studies, but as I wrote in my previous post, in real life it can be hard to balance comfort, budget, and self-expression.. So, for this week I’veContinue reading “5 days of outfits: Uni, work and everything in between”
Getting out of my outfit slump
Fashion is about 75% of the media I consume, yet I have found myself in a slump, a rut, a flop, whatever you want to call it for longer than I would like to admit. I recently cut my hours at work to focus on my studies, as my final year begins. This then meansContinue reading “Getting out of my outfit slump”
Wuthering Heights- a piece on the ruin of historical fashion
Recently I have been seeing a myriad of photos of Emmerald Fennels’ Wuthering Heights. Now, I won’t speak on the interesting casting choices as that is not my area of expertise. However, when it comes to costume, this is my niche. So without further adieu, When Historical Fashion Goes Rogue Emerald Fennell’s hotly anticipated WutheringContinue reading “Wuthering Heights- a piece on the ruin of historical fashion”
Women in the workplace
After a weekend away, I checked my emails this morning to a Drapers editor’s pick. The overarching theme of this week’s was sexual harassment in the work place. While I intend this blog to be mainly fun and carefree, I would be naive to waste the opportunity to use this platform I am building toContinue reading “Women in the workplace”
