For those of you in the Ottawa area, Poppy Barley’s regular trek to Ottawa is always highly anticipated
I’ve been posting a new slow fashion vlog every Sunday since October and am loving the process of creating videos and sharing sustainable style tips this way. If you haven’t had a chance, check it out here. This week I shared 11 basics that are the foundation of a versatile and effortless wardrobe. After years of going through closets and working with my own minimal wardrobe, these closet staples provide seasonless versatility that women are
How many times have you seen someone else’s outfit – in the street, on Insta, on Pinterest – and immediately logged into your favourite shopping app to locate and potentially purchase whatever items you were coveting just minutes ago? We’ve all been there. As a reformed chronic-comparer, I understand outfit envy very well. But recent slow fashion and sustainable style choices have since come to the rescue! Watch this week’s vlog for some tips I
I talk a lot about slow fashion, but the other day got a great question – where to start learning about slow fashion? There are a lot of sustainable fashion and minimalist blogs on the internet, and these are a great place to start. But as far as I’m concerned, having a closet full of ethically made, or ultra basic clothing that you never wear is just as silly as shopping aimlessly and disposing of
Guys! I’m on Youtube! I’ll post a new slow fashion / sustainable style video every Sunday.

Because changing shoes can literally change an entire look, resulting in the need fewer garments in your closet. That being said, when I was introduced
If the thought of cleaning out your closet has ever made you want to cry into a bottle of wine, this post is for you. Or maybe you went a bit overboard on your last wardrobe purge only to be left with a few underwear and some mismatched socks. Not a great sitch, my friend. While going through a big closet purge every season is awesome and results in a streamlined wardrobe with space to

While I’m lucky that being around clothes and shopping for other people curbs my appetite for purchasing, I’m not immune to the charms of beautiful
It’s the middle of winter, we’re all hibernating, and maybe you’re just feeling blah. It’s easy to scroll through your instafeed and Pinterest and get inspired by some amazing outfits and fashion and think a little retail therapy is in order to spice up your life wardrobe. Sometimes we need to shake things up, and I believe our wardrobe has just what we need – the trick is in restyling the pieces you already have
Happy New Year! I hope you are reading this feeling relaxed and happy after the holidays. This time of year is often associated with Pinterest boards full of inspiration, goals of all kinds and lofty ambitions.
