New Handbag Alert! ⠀
⠀
Yeah okay, I don't need any more bags, but the @VendulaLondon AW20 range is out now, and I'm so in love with this Trattoria Shopper Bag! Perfect for carting around my necessities (yes, a Switch is a necessity) when I'm heading to work or out and about. ⠀
⠀
And as a massive plus, the shoulder straps are adjustable, which means there's no worries about your arms being too big to fit! ⠀

Anyone else feel they're losing their identity? ⠀
⠀
Not sure if it's just a part of going through CBT therapy or simply just growing up -- or the fact it's just 2020 and everything is a mess -- but I really feel like I'm not who the hell I am any more, what my style is or what I want to do with my life. ⠀
⠀
Anyone else feel the same? Or maybe can give me a hint of an idea how to get myself together enough to do something about it, because loooord it's getting boring.⠀

Few days late, but we've got some feminist style up on the blog today! ⠀
⠀
My awesome sister in law @emen_x bought me and Joe some great feminist t-shirts from @thesparkdotcompany company a few months back, and I thought it was about time to show them off! ⠀

My new favourite way of wearing anything (not just this @topsycurvy pinafore!); low-effort alternative 😂 ⠀
⠀
Genuinely love how versatile this pinafore is; I'm sort of all-over-the-place with my style these days, but it's real good to have a few items that can flow through my different versions! Anyone else got a piece like that?⠀

This whole changing weather thing is frankly very annoying -- what do you ever wear?! I feel like half of the day is summer and half of it is winter at the moment! ⠀

I was lucky enough to win this @topsycurvy pinafore in a giveaway, and I love it! So on the blog today I'm styling it up five different ways for the changing seasons. Also gives me an excuse to bring out my @snagtights since it's getting cooler! ⠀

Okay I’ll stop talking about the engagement after this photo — but I loved the ridiculous photos we took so much! ⠀
⠀
Also, the ring is a beautiful little ruby cluster ring from @ferkosfinejewellery in New York. Joe made an amazing choice, it’s gorgeous, glittery but not too over-the-top. And from a small handmade business too! ⠀

Thank you everyone for your well wishes on our engagement! Me and Joe have been overwhelmed by other people’s excitement for us. ⠀

We took this photo not long after I had happy cried, and it’s so disgustingly cute I love it! Looks a bit ‘Hello Magazine’ right? 😂⠀

Clothes not fitting right? I feel ya. I’ve gained a fair bit over lockdown as we’ve talked about before. And it sucks, clearly, because now about 80% of my wardrobe is just a bit too tight on me. Not the greatest feeling when you’ve mostly got a wardrobe of handmade clothes, I’ll tell you that!⠀
⠀
This dress-to-skirt hack is the best. Literally tuck the bodice into your waistband and you've got a wearable skirt without ruining a dress. Do you guys do this? Any other awesome hacks under your belt?⠀

Real talk -- my clothes don't really fit any more. And what do you do when nothing fits and you're poor? Wardrobe hacks! ⠀

Two (out of many) things I love; Novelty Jewellery... and Tanuki. ⠀
⠀
Can we take a moment to marvel at the genius that is this @gorydorky brooch? My sister-in-law bought it for me as a birthday present after I've spent months being obsessed about it. The quality is incredible, and literally all the designs he does are spectacular -- his current collection of Japanese-themed jewellery makes me want to cry with happiness! ⠀

Since she finally has received it, I thought I'd take a moment to be proud of this little portrait I did for @dogtoranddoggo of the best doggo known to man! ⠀
⠀
Creativity isn't coming to me as easily as it used to these last few months, so I get really excited when I not only start getting those art vibes flowing, but especially after I finish something! ⠀
⠀
Are you guys doing anything creative at the moment?

Jewellery time! ⠀
⠀
Anyone else a hoarder of jewellery like me? Took some shots for @bowandcrossbones who kindly keep me tapped into my bangle addiction (I love you, Cam) and I was particularly feeling my oats that day! ⠀
⠀
Anyone else got a jewellery hoarding problem? I mean... Jewellery collection? 😂 ⠀

In relation to my recent post -- what are your honest thoughts on fast fashion? ⠀
⠀
I'm currently writing a post on my thoughts on the subject, since there's a lot of talk recently about it. The shortest answer is that although I know it's bad, I also end up buying it because of three things; I'm poor, I'm fat and I have a spending/clothes hoarding problem I need to address in therapy. The other side of that is that I recently gained weight, and most of my clothes don't fit any more, which makes dressing difficult. ⠀
⠀
So I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on it! Do you avoid it completely? Don't care? Have no other options, maybe? Let me know! ⠀
