Transitioning to a sustainable wardrobe can be an intimidating task, even for the most motivated of us. In my years of practice, I’ve put together a simple process, so you can make the switch seamlessly.
Read MoreGrowing up in the 90s-00s, I used to watch TV shows glorifying shopping and overconsumption; I used to be in awe in front of my favourite characters’ massive closets and dozens of shopping bags. And as I couldn’t afford to buy tons of quality clothes, I thought fast fashion was the only option.

Read MoreWe’ve all heard the saying “All the glitters isn’t gold”. And it might sound cliché, but unfortunately, it stands true; especially when it comes to sustainable fashion and sustainability as a whole. I mean, there is a reason why the word “greenwashing” is so trendy at the moment: some brands are using sustainability as a means to make a few extra bucks, which makes it difficult to tell if a brand is truly sustainable.
Read MoreFor a long time, I resisted the idea of a Capsule Wardrobe, because I found it so limiting and restricting. Forcing myself to have no more than 30 pieces, feeling guilty for owning 10 pairs of shoes (ok, a bit more, but we’re not here to judge), and all these other arbitrary rules. If that’s how you feel about capsule wardrobes, then I feel you, my friend. You’re in the right place: one of non-judgment and freedom.
