Guest on Bump to Business Owner podcast
It can be hard when you’re a solo business owner, you want your business to push forward and grow quickly, but if it’s just you it’s just you! We talked about expectations: our own but also the expectations or assumptions of others. And of course, I share my 3 tips for mums who want to look good, feel great but dress consciously.
How to avoid fashion impulse purchases.
Are you guilty of seeing an item of clothing (either in a shop or online) and getting a sudden urge to buy it, without proper consideration?
This is known as an impulse purchase and far too many of us are guilty of it.
The main reasons for impulse purchases are …escapism, pleasure, reward, anticipation, scarcity and anticipation. Rarely do we impulse purchase out of need.
Why you should stop saving clothes ‘for best’

We’ve all done it. Decided we want a clear out and mindlessly piled unwanted clothes into bags for ‘charity’ feeling good about the fact they’ll go to someone in need.
Sadly the stark reality of where our charity items end up is very different. Giving unwanted items to charity makes us feel good and is just so convenient, it’s not surprising many people prefer not to think too hard about where these garments actually end up.
What is cashmere and is it sustainable?
Have you ever wondered why Cashmere is so expensive or if it is a sustainable option ? If so, read on.

Choosing slow style over fast fashion.
I’m almost certain my love affair with fashion was passed down from my mum. She grew up in Cyrpus, in a large family, and was a dressmaker in the 1960s with an incredible sense of style. My parents didn’t have much disposable income as I grew up, but it was my mum who told me that it is always better to save up and spend more money on quality items that I love and that would last.
