Well, THIS has come around a little sooner than I anticipated. One moment I was eating sausage rolls for breakfast, downing quince gin liquer (found myself with three bottles of the stuff, don’t ask) and indiscriminately scoffing chocolates at any time of day or night, and the next I was awoken at 6am by a cuckoo (that’s… Continue reading Twenty Twenty: a look ahead
There are three weeks left of my three month ban on buying new clothes, shoes and accessories. You can read about Slow Fashion Season and why I decided to do it here, and I will be doing a more comprehensive post about what I’ve learnt and how I move forward when it’s officially over. For… Continue reading Three things that have happened since I stopped shopping
August started with a hair cut; not an overly dramatic hair cut, but one that feels like it has some significance all the same. It was quite an impromptu decision, made on the way to the salon, but sometimes I find that just an act of change is enough for a much-needed boost – a… Continue reading A mid month catch up: August
Why hello there pals, and how wonderful of you to be here. How are we all? I’m currently in bed, two crumpets with marmite down and hoping that the spider I can see in the corner doesn’t scuttle into my mouth while I’m asleep later. It’s a nice position to be in for tapping out… Continue reading A mid month catch up: July
Rob was *delighted* when I announced that we would be taking a photo of my outfit every single morning on the way to work for a whole week, truly. And he’ll be even more delighted when I tell him that in a couple of months we’re going to do it again, because I thought I… Continue reading A week in work outfits: summer
It feels impossible to believe (and really quite embarrassing to admit) now, but as recently as a year ago the environmental impact of our collective fast fashion habit hadn’t even crossed my mind. I picked up new things regularly and with little thought; a lunchtime Primark trip here, a ‘pop in’ to H&M on the… Continue reading I’ve pledged to buy nothing new for three months and this is why
I appear to have missed the middle of the month again, but if we say that the days between 5th and 25th are the middle of the month in that they’re not strictly the start or end, then this is is fair game and I’m not late, right? June for me so far has been… Continue reading A mid month catch up: June
Great news, everyone: I’m yet to get a parking ticket or a passive aggressive note from my neighbours this month! That won’t make any sense unless you read my April edition of this post, which feels simultaneously very recently and a lifetime ago. I’m always quite fascinated by the different rates at which time feels… Continue reading A mid month catch up: May
I’ve written twice specifically about perfectionism before, referenced it many more times, had it creep into multiple blog posts in various other guises, and failed to write anything at all on account of it more than I can count, so I guess you could say it’s something of a defining feature of mine. For a while,… Continue reading Perfectionism and me: an update
The first of April was a Monday, which was supposed to be a very satisfying way for a month to begin. Let me tell you how mine went. I’d arrived at the gym after work and changed into exercise clothing, then promptly realised that I had forgotten something (look, you opted to read this, I… Continue reading A mid month catch up: April
