In the last couple of years, I’ve been more and more aware of the fashion industry and a lot of the awful impacts it can have on the world and environment. It gets really tough sometimes because fashion and style are literally my job and I can easily feel influenced or pressured by the industry to constantly be buying new things, wearing the latest pieces and continuously coming up with the latest looks. And while I still try to keep things fresh, there are ways to do so without having such a bad impact on the environment and shop smarter.
First, I want to make a disclaimer though because things can be taken so seriously on the internet. I AM NOT PERFECT. I do shop on occasion at fast fashion shops and from brands that probably don’t have the environment in mind. But it’s something I try to be more aware of.
Ok now that that is out of the way, I am so happy to share with you Farfetch’s new Conscious edit on their site! A super easy way to discover brands that are sustainable! These brands choose different approaches to creating their pieces such as using recycled or deadstock fabrics (which are vintage fabrics that are left over from other seasons or brands), using more environmentally friendly products and fabrics. I really recommend checking them out! It’s a great way to shop and feel better about the environment while doing it.
My boyfriend Leo and I took these photos while in Joshua Tree last week! They turned out so great! It was such a nice time to get away for a bit and spend time together. I think we ended up liking Palm Springs and Joshua Tree the most. When we were in LA, we realized how fast paced it is and I think we were a bit overwhelmed at times! It was fun to be back again and visit but we’re happy to be home again 🙂
Lots of California content is on it’s away as well as a Youtube video!!! I’ve been editing like crazy!!

Great outfit and post! No place like the California desert! I’m trying to be more aware of what I buy too, started following a few sustainable brands and I can’t get enough 🙂

Yes there are so many good ones out there! I love when sites like this feature multiple brands so they’re easy to find!
I love that you care about eco-friendly fashion. I do think there is a huge pressure amongst women to buy new clothes. Especially when you grow up hearing things like “OMG she wore that last week”. Hopefully we can change the narrative, so thank you for posting this!
