How To Save Money While Looking Stylish – Sustainable Fashion

How you dress has a more significant impact than you might think. Not only does it communicate what colours and fabrics you like, but it can also affect your mental well-being. This is true, I know when I am wearing an outfit that I love, I have a lot more confidence for the day. With this in mind, and the way the world is going, you might want to consider adjusting your wardrobe if you plan to lead a more sustainable lifestyle. Doing so will help you live your life to the fullest, knowing that you do something for the benefit of our planet. Still, making this kind of change can be challenging. After all, following the most popular beauty trends is a straightforward way to stay fashionable, but it is not always good for the environment. Beauty is an area that can be extremely wasteful and bad for the environment, possibly the same amount as fashion, but looking at more natural products can definitely help with that. None of this means that you cannot dress well if you want to live by the ideas of upcycling, recycling, renting clothes, and sustainability though. Apart from looking for clothes in second-hand stores, you could upcycle your existing garments or purchase high-quality pieces that will serve you well into the future. Here is a list of valuable tips to save money on clothing and create a more sustainable fashion style: Avoid Following Trends The first step to take is to forget about blindly following trends. Instead of mindlessly buying whatever is popular at the moment, consider what you actually need and what…

Those of you who know me here already know that I adore designer bags. I usually save up each month and purchase a new luxury purse once or twice a year, but I’m still deciding just what designer bag 2022 is going to bring me! I’m usually a girl that opts for cross-body bags or smaller shoulder bags, however, since I am doing more and more travelling these days, tote bags are looking extremely inviting! I’ve always loved the look of a tote bag design, and now they’re coming in smaller sizes as well, so that’s perfect for my smaller frame. Some that I have been looking at are the new in Valentino Garavani womens tote bags that have caught my eye, as well as a few of the brand’s classic tote bags. I’ve regularly opted for classic colours like brown and black, as you can tell from my last two designer bag purchases (Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Mini Backpack and the Saint Laurent 5 A 7 bag), but I’ve been gravitating towards bright colours lately as it’s summer and they really make an outfit pop. With this in mind, I’ve rounded up 6 Valentino Garavani designer tote bags that I have fallen in love with, which you can check out below! This is the Valentino Garavani VLTN Print Canvas Tote bag that I adore! It’s a classic white and black, perfect for my international travels, and would make a great carry-on bag for the airplane.

Allsaints Vegan PU Leather Jacket – NEW

The Brand New Allsaints PU Leather Dalby Jacket Good news for all my vegan and vegetarian readers! Allsaints have literally just released a brand new leather jacket, in PU! It’s made from 100% water based polyurethane and 100% recycled polyester. It doesn’t state on the website specifically that it’s vegan, I’m not sure why? But whenever we see a polyurethane jacket, it’s a non animal product, and usually described that way, but my assumption is that it’s animal free because of the material list. This is super exciting as Allsaints make some of the best leather jackets around, but for those of you that are animal friendly, you can now wear their classic Dalby leather jacket! If you’re not familiar with the Dalby, it’s a long sleeve, sleek, classic leather jacket with minimal detailing. It has zipper pullers, two pockets, concealed zip cuffs, press stud lapels and epaulettes, a recycled lining, and it’s made from the water based PU. I own the Dalby in a few colours and it’s such a nice jacket – probably their most versatile, which is why they’ve started the PU launch with this particular style. “No fuss styling. The Dalby Biker Jacket is minimalist. Crafted from water based PU, it’s a great leather alternative. Completed with our signature metal trims, it’s a classic AllSaints biker you can come back to again and again.” As you all know, I am a huge Allsaints leather jacket fan, so you can read my review of the Allsaints Dalby leather jacket here, but also check out my what to know before you buy an Allsaints leather jacket guide, it…

Leather Jacket Outfits – Dress For Any Occasion

When it comes to leather jacket styles, it’s one of the most versatile pieces you can wear. Whether events, gatherings, concerts, and many more, there’s always a leather jacket outfit you’ll come to love. It gives you that edgy look with a touch of chic and is flattering on anyone, no matter their body shape. I absolutely live in leather jackets regularly and can never get enough of them, so I thought I would share some of the different outfits you can wear with your leather jacket to put a cool ensemble together. Cropped Leather Jacket With A Printed Dress You want to choose a print according to your body shape when styling your jacket with a printed dress. If you are petite, go for smaller prints like polka dots or small patterns, as this will not overwhelm you. If you are curvy or taller, opt for larger prints like florals and paisley. You should try to avoid dresses that have prints that are too tiny or too large. You don’t want anything drawing attention away from your leather jacket outfit! Your leather jacket outfits can be styled in a variety of ways. For example, if you have a fitted white t-shirt underneath the top layer of the dress (this is layering and pretty on trend right now), then opt for the skirt half of the dress to have a longer length, and slimmer fit, so that it doesn’t look bulky under the jacket. You can play around with the proportions and find something that works for you. Biker Jacket Outfit With Boots A biker jacket is an all-time classic.…

Angel Leather Jacket – Affordable Luxury

Affordable Luxury In A Leather Jacket It’s no secret to anyone that I absolutely love leather jackets. I have amassed quite the collection over the years, as you know, and they’re definitely a go to of mine when I I’m putting outfits together. Leather jackets can be fairly expensive though, especially when you’re looking at one from a luxury brand, so they’re not always affordable, however, Angel Jackets is here to meet that gap in the market. They pride themselves on creating luxury you can afford, and with their real leather jackets priced at less than $200, that’s an amazing price point for such a staple closet piece! Everyone should be able to afford such an iconic item in my opinion! I’m wearing the Amber Asymmetrical Black Motorcycle Jacket by Angel Jackets and it’s priced at $199. It’s a classic moto style leather jacket with a flap pocket on the front, and zipped pockets with silver hardware. It’s made from real leather and is quite comfortable too! The sizing does run a little bit big as I had to pick size XS in this one, and I can layer knitwear underneath, so if you are between sizes, I recommend going down one size. The XS fits size UK 4-6 I believe, but I’m pretty much a true size UK 8, occasionally a 6, and it’s a little big on me, so do keep that in mind! This leather jacket would be great for someone who is a little taller than I am too. I am not blessed with a tonne of height as I’m only 5ft 4, but given its…

7 Practical Reasons for Investing in Quality Clothes

Many people, myself included, enjoy shopping for clothes as it can be a relaxing activity. It’s also a great way for them to get creative with their wardrobe and discover fantastic new pieces for it. If you’re such an individual, you probably know what it’s like to have so many fashion options that it becomes quite difficult to choose what to bring home. That being said, you might feel like it’s relatively easy to decide between cheap and expensive products – after all, doesn’t it make the most sense to always go for the more affordable option? While that may seem logical at first (especially if you’re trying to stay within a certain budget), this thinking couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead of focusing solely on price, you should also take a clothing item’s quality into consideration. But what exactly, are the benefits of investing in well-made clothes? Here are some compelling reasons to consider: They’re More Comfortable to Wear The main reason to prioritize quality when you buy hosiery, tights, blouses, or other clothes is to ensure your utmost comfort. While it’s important to find comfortable clothes in general, it’s even more crucial for intimate items such as underwear, shapewear, and hosiery. When you choose well-made garments, you can be sure they’re made out of fabrics that won’t feel rough, itchy, or uncomfortable when worn, so they wont be digging in. And because these fabrics are usually treated and dyed using non-toxic products, they’re unlikely to cause irritation or allergic reactions even if you have sensitive skin. They Fit Your Body Better Unlike fast fashion, where workers are…

An Online Shopper’s Guide to Buying Well-fitted Clothes

The secret to being impeccably dressed is purchasing clothes that fit well and bring out the best in you. After all, ill-fitting garments are not only unflattering, but also uncomfortable. No one wants jeans that pinch in all the wrong places or shirts that feel constrictive – this always puts me off wearing them. Normally, you can find the right fit by trying on clothing pieces in the fitting room. However, the landscape of shopping has changed due to COVID-19. As a safety measure, many stores have moved their activities online. Additionally, you might be more inclined to purchase clothes directly from these online stores as a convenient alternative to planning a trip to the mall. That being said, it can be tricky to figure out if a clothing piece will fit when you’re viewing it through an online catalogue. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to make your digital shopping experience an easier one. To learn more, below is a simple guide to purchasing well-fitting clothes online: Know Your Exact Measurements Getting your exact measurements is an integral step in purchasing the right outfits. Not every store will have the exact same clothing sizes, so you’ll need to check their specifications. For example, one brand’s small size may be equivalent to a medium in another brand. If you’re not familiar with your measurements, then do be sure to take note of them before you buy anything online. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to do, as you only need a flexible measuring tape. You could even ask a family member or friend to help you take measurements. If you’d rather…
