Three Wardrobes

ph/me

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram - or both - you will know by now that I am moving to London in the next couple of weeks. London as you might know is one expensive city to live in and so I am having to having huge panic attacks as you look around my apartment here in Brussels. The piles of shoe boxes, the racks of clothes, the coats and bags hanging behind each an every door and chair. Then there are the rows of books and beauty products ...

It is fairly obvious that is won't all fit in the place we have found in London, so this is where you come in. You can help me find new homes for my 'nearly new' clothes, that would be a great start. I have already donated 8 bags of clothes to Les Petits Riens in Brussels over the last months, however there is still much more that needs to go. If you haven't yet - and if you have already - check out Three Wardrobes. Candice, Cyrielle and I have loads of great clothes there.

Fair + True african print skirt

colourful skirt

ph/private

This has to be one of my all time favourite purchases. I love the print and the colours, this print is not something I could wear daily but I really gravitated towards it when I first saw it. I just could not get it out of my head. It reminds me of when I went to Africa nearly 15 years ago now. My mum brought so many dresses and skirts in the most amazing prints and the skirt just brings back great childhood memories. The skirt is also fashion conscience in that it is fair trade and seriously ethical.

If I created a fashion blog it is in part because I enjoy fashion and find the industry fascinating - to say the least. However, with such an ephemeral business, and one that is by nature constantly changing, very fickle and hugely wasteful - I really believe it is important that the wonder and magic associated to this industry is not shadowed by the violation of ethical and environmental policies. It is nice to know that this skirt is both ethical and eco friendly - be it recycled, organic cotton, non-toxic, fair trade, sustainable, vegan or non-exploitative.

As the length was a bit long, I just chopped the bottom of it, and I love it even more with the frayed seam. I just hope I can get to wear it some time soon. You can find similar items here or over at Fashion Conscience.

The perfect corduroy pant

ph/Zara Corduroy is the perfect direction to go in for winter but why not change it and wear it baggy. The same way, baggy leather pants have become the craze so will the corduroy pants - or so I hope. I absolutely love the slouchy effect of these trousers, so much so that I had to get my hands on a pair. They are on their way to me as we speak. If you haven't yet, why not check out the e-shop I openend with two friends.
