Essential reading
Catch up on my latest work
We’ve been hosting monthly sewing circles over at Fashion Revolution Scotland - keep an eye out on Instagram for details this month’s virtual ‘stitch & bitch’ event!
Happy Monday!
Just popping in with a roundup of some of my latest articles to catch up on, plus a little reminder that I share lots more content here that is exclusive to paying subscribers. From bullshit-free brand reviews that sift through the haze of greenwashing, to original industry deep dives on topical issues, to weekly news and podcast lists that offer the most important links to delve into, I’m really proud of the little space I’ve carved out and I’d love to share it with even more people. Support independent writing and help me keep creating content about the issues that matter in fashion today.
I’m currently running a special offer of £4 a month instead of £5 a month for a limited time - I hope you can join me!

My latest article for Eco Warrior Princess is a comprehensive guide to fashion and recycling, covering off some key FAQs on the tangled web of recycled clothing.
I wrote two new blog posts for Pawprint, an Edinburgh-based startup developing an app for tracking and targeting the environmental impact of your everyday habits: The Journey of Jeans: What's Your Fashion Footprint? and 10 Ways to Reduce your Carbon Footprint while Shopping
In collaboration with Glasgow social enterprise ApparelXchange, my latest blog post dives into the world of second-hand children’s clothing.
The Scottish sustainable fashion community brings me a lot of hope in a rather dark industry, so I decided to explore what makes it so special and highlight some serious ‘ones to watch’ in an article for The Flock.
Connect with me on Twitter for more article updates and ethical fashion content.
PS. I’ve uploaded lots of goodies to both fashion resale app Depop and clothes sharing app Nuw if you fancy a little #SecondHandSeptember wardrobe refresh.
Have a fabulous week, see you next time 💚
