Party season is in full swing and while high street brands push party dressing and seasonal reductions during this hyper-consumerist time of year, I implore you to go green for the festive season. I know. It can be quite tempting to run into town and panic buy a new dress for your work Christmas party but here are some tips on how to dress sustainably this party season (and, indeed, beyond). CHOOSE VINTAGE Sparkly mini dresses, velvet LBDs, lurex knits, there are plenty of vintage partywear options out there already, it’s just a case of finding them. Since launching my own vin ..read more

Sand between my toes, crystal blue waters and a (nearly) deserted cove. It was our little slice of heaven. There’s something so romantic about a beach. The quiet ripple of water, the gentle warm breeze, the golden hues - you just can’t beat it. As soon as I slip off my sandals and sink that first step into the warm sand, a feeling of calmness washes over me. Down a bumpy dirt track that seemed to put off the other beach dwellers in Saplunara, Limuni Beach is on the southernmost tip of Mljet Island, Croatia. During our three-day stay, Lewis and I made the trip three times to the isla ..read more

Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I was back home in Bristol and I wanted to share some photos I took on my phone. In true Bristol style, the weather was rather wet during my visit - apart from glorious blue skies when I first arrived back on Friday night. Saturday started off just as Saturdays (or Sundays) in Bristol should; with brunch. My sister and I took our dad out for a day-early Father’s Day treat at our favourite brunch spot, Bakers & Co on Gloucester Road. I had avocado on toast with mushrooms and stole a piece of my sister’s halloumi - just the start o ..read more

One minute I’m in mini dresses and last year’s grass-stained white canvas trainers and the next I’m back in jeans and a leather jacket, cowering from the wind and rain. With current temperatures certainly not living up to the non-stop sunshine of last summer, I thought I’d share a style hack that I’ve been sporting recently for those in-betweeny temps - the knee high sock. Running the risk of sounding like a cliche American stylist from a 90s sitcom, "they go with everything." Dresses, skirts, shorts, you name it, the knee high sock is your unexpected hosiery-hero. My love for the ..read more

Today I want to share an outfit that I love as well as touch on circular fashion. I shot these photos about a month ago now, on film with just 7 photos left on the roll. There is something so freeing yet considered about shooting on film. We don’t check the tiny digital camera screen for funny facial expressions, misbehaving fringes or untucked shirts, we trust that those precious few photos will deliver the goods. Luckily, this time, they all did. I love this outfit. It came together so effortlessly and is exactly how I see my summer style this year - simple and monochrome with pop ..read more

Sustainability is hardly a new subject for me to tackle but today I want to talk about it from a gifting perspective. Ever since the new Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rules for influencers were introduced last year, it has become apparent just how many gifted items we were (and are) seeing on our Instagram feeds. From the freshest dresses to the newest beauty bits, it is shocking. But now it’s also just something we’re used to. It is a rare occasion when a brand kindly offers to send me something but I decided a while ago that when such occasions occur, I would have the sam ..read more

Hello, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Well, today I can finally explain my little absence… On Sunday, I launched my own vintage brand! It’s called Anita is and it’s something that I’ve working on for a long time (and very intensely for the last couple of months). Born out of years of experience working with vintage clothing in London, Paris and Montreal, and a passion for fighting against fast-fashion and mindless consumerism, the idea for Anita is began almost two years ago. Since then it has grown with me and adapted to current attitudes within the fashion industry and i ..read more

With the unseasonably glorious weather of last week now a distant memory, I wanted to share a recent favourite winter look of mine, before the weather warms again and we are thrown into the arms of spring. I must admit, I am getting a bit tired of winter dressing now but this is exactly the kind of outfit I know I will miss wearing when the winter finally ends. This look came together with ease thanks to a couple of clever, new purchases. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; any new purchases I make these days are always extremely well ..read more

It’s no secret that corduroy had a massive resurgence this season. From blazers and matching mini skirts to shirts and trousers, both cropped and flared, the high street and our Instagram feeds have been awash with this fabrication. My love for corduroy began back in 2001. I’d just started secondary school and being able to wear black trousers of choice as part of the uniform, I opted for some low-rise, very flared black cord trousers from a hippy shop called Katze on Gloucester Road in Bristol. I loved them and continued to repurchase the same pair for years to come eac ..read more

Seeking sun, cute streets and just generally a break from the UK in January, Lewis and I headed to Lisbon for a long weekend. Having already visited the Portuguese capital at the height of summer six years ago with my mum and sister, I was excited to rediscover the city with Lewis who had never been. We landed on Saturday afternoon to not a cloud in the sky – that feeling when you step off the plane, hit by warm sun rays is almost indescribable. Unfortunately, that glorious weather didn’t last for the whole time we were there but at least it was clement enough to walk ar ..read more
