As a #minimalist who low key hates the beach (), this is pretty much the only #swimwear I need.

Often, the current fashion/trend cycle makes us believe we need more than we *actually* do. From being bombarded with Instagram ‘haul’ videos, to learning about micro plastics in swimwear, consumption can feel hella confusing especially if you’re trying to purchase ethically

So here’s your friendly reminder that the most #sustainable item you can buy is the one you don’t buy. If you do choose to buy, do what you can to ensure your garments last as long as possible (handwashing when necessary, hanging dry, etc). And find new ways to love your items! These two tops were made for swimming but you can be damn sure I’ll be wearing them as crop tops when it’s too hot to wear anything else

Has your perspective on consumption changed lately? If so, how? Let me know about your experience in the comments

It’s Earth Week and as much as I want to use this as a chance to rally all of you to take action for the planet… the reality is I’m feeling more burnt out than I ever have before. I’ve ugly cried more times this past week than I’d like to admit, and I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling it ‍♀️ Instagram is a highlight reel, showing you the best of the best aspects of people - but it’s unrealistic to be perfectly happy and motivated and ready to fight the good fight all the time.

Planetary health and personal health go hand in hand So this Earth week, my only ask if that you take care of you. Reach out to your community if you need support. And remember that we cannot continue pouring from an empty cup

Unfortunately home decor/furnishings are some of the least recycled items out there ‼️ That’s why I recommend opting for #secondhand home items before buying new. If you’re looking to decorate, try to prioritize shopping at:

♻️ your local thrift stores
♻️ online marketplaces like craigslist or Facebook, or
♻️ the Buy Nothing group to see if anyone’s old items could serve a new purpose in your home

What are some of your favorite #secondhand home finds? Let me know down in the comments

Two months into #SpendingPending and I’m starting to see consumption very differently. One of the biggest takeaways?

✨ You don’t need a new outfit for every occasion ✨

We’ve become soooo disconnected from the supply chain that it’s easy to forget that fast fashion’s ‘low prices’ are entirely artificial. They’re not low because garments cost that little to create - they’re low because of wage theft, cheap materials, and because they’re made to be disposed of (and quickly). And it’s not a matter of every fast fashion giant switching to sustainable materials, because a 52-season fashion cycle will NEVER be sustainable for people or the planet. I encourage everyone to pause before making clothing purchases and ask a few questions:

how do I envision this piece fitting into my wardrobe/what else can I wear it with?
is there a gap in my wardrobe that this item is filling?
is there a secondhand version of this item I can find?
is this piece something I can see myself wearing for the long term (or is it too trendy)?
for special occasions: can I rent/borrow an outfit instead of buying new?

I hope y’all take some time to think through these Qs before buying! It’s going to take a lot of consumer habit changes in order to shift this wasteful industry. But we each have our own power as consumers - take action by reducing consumption where possible, participating in the sharing/lending economy, or prioritizing #secondhand options

***Note: I fully recognize that sustainable / secondhand fashion is not accessible to everyone. This message is geared towards folks who hold the privilege of accessing these items

When it comes to sustainable fashion, one thing I’d love for us to start talking about more is ~borrowing~ ✨ #SpendingPending

Remember in college when everyone would borrow their friend’s top/dress/accessory/etc for a party? I think we should really do that more often, whether it’s a party, a weekend, or just a photoshoot. By borrowing instead of buying, you’re participating in the sharing economy - which means fewer resources extracted, less labor involved, and less waste at the end of the day (and less $$ you have to spend!)

If you’re going to a swanky event, ask a friend if they have anything to lend you. Or if you have a partner, ask if you can share some things from their wardrobe the possibilities are really endless.

There are sooo many opportunities for us to think sustainably when it comes to fashion have you borrowed any clothing recently? Let me know about it in the comments

Hallo meine kleinen Sonnenscheine,

Mittwoch war mal wieder der Flohmarkt in meiner Stadt und ich habe ein bisschen geshoppt. Hauptsächlich waren es Bücher, obwohl das gar nicht beabsichtigt war. Ich habe 7 Bücher gekauft und ich glaube ca. 10€ dafür bezahlt.

Es waren 3 Harry Potter Bücher, da ist mir bloß ein kleiner Fehler unterlaufen und ich hab zweimal Harry Potter and the goblte of fire gekauft. Ich dachte das eine wäre Order oft he Phoenix und hab mich zu Hause total darüber geärgert, aber shit happens.

image

Außerdem habe ich noch vier Wilde Hühner Bücher gekauft. Ich weiß nicht ob ich euch das schon mal erzählt habe, aber ich wollte mir die Reihe gerne auf Flohmärkten zusammen suchen. Dieses Mal war ich sehr erfolgreich und so fehlt mir jetzt nur noch „Die wilden Hühner und das Leben“.

image

Die Bücher sind auch schon fast komplett durchgelesen und sie haben mir wieder total gut gefallen, die Geschichten der Mädels sind einfach süß.

Alles Liebe eure Jana aka Sunshine ♥

one of my environmental resolutions is to try and not buy any new clothes (undies excluded). I’m actually pretty good with this already - except for when an event is coming up as I use that as an reason to buy something new. but now I have a lot of pretty things I’ve only rocked once or twice that I can totally wear again. to freshen up a wardrobe I love a clothes swap, and we’ve done this a few times now with the teachers at stretch yoga. it’s great especially if you can’t be bothered selling your old clothes. contact some pals, plan a date, sort through your wardrobe and get swapping. there’s also lots of groups on facebook with meet ups too

Secondhand booty: a 1972 effort from Book Club Associates . Check out the swashtastic Bookman font on the cover! “It’s like, how much more 1972 could this be? And the answer is none. None more 1972”. Anyway looking at, er, bijou items like this, it’s clear that punk was inevitable. Next week on The South Bank Show…
