  • how to shop in a more sustainable way
  • how to sell your clothes online
  • how to create chic and ethical looks without breaking your budget

It is hard at the beginning when you decide to stop buying your clothes in fast fashion stores.

When I was growing up, I use to go to the second hands because they offer original fashion and style for an affordable price. But as I started working and had more money, I started shopping at popular fashion brands. I wanted to be on-trend and fashionable.

But after watching True Cost movie and the Rana Plaza Disaster in 2013, I realized how unsustainable and unethical the current clothes consumption was.

Discover new ways to mix and match your outfits, how to look original and comfortable every day. I love new ideas and have an eclectic personal style. Let me share it with you!

Here Is What I Wore at Paléo Festival Nyon 2023

A quick look back at Paléo Festival Nyon 2023. Every year seems better than the previous one and this one was no different. I especially liked the techno and dance music Belleville scene.

How Paléo Festival Became more Sustainable in 2022

This year’s Paléo Festival in Nyon was special for several reasons:

How to Choose the Right Second-Hand Website in 2022?

Hi everyone, I hope you had a good start to the new year. The other day I read an article about fast fashion on Linkedin and it made me think that:

– although it is great that more people are aware of the negative sides of fast fashion, there is still a lack of knowledge about alternatives to fast fashion,

– one needs to be aware that sustainable/ethical/eco-friendly/fair fashion is more expensive than fast fashion, and

– not everyone will go/ is ready to go 100% cold turkey and …

How To Choose Chic Winter Clothes Sustainably in 2021

For many years I used to buy new winter clothes to keep up with the ever changing fashion. But 99% of the clothes I got was made of cheap materials and next season, the clothes would look old and shapeless. Once I realized that my main criteria cannot be price and what is in fashion, I started looking at clothes differently. I learned that it is better to invest in quality, reduce the quantity, and learn to be patient. Patience is sometimes the key if you like second-hand shopping.
