My semester break is over, college starts up again tomorrow. I went to Frankfurt yesterday to see the Jil Sander exhibit. Booked two festivals for the summer and am planning a trip to Vienna. I want to concentrate on university, my blog, work, my health and spend less time with negative influences. Corduroy and berets have been big outfit staples for me recently. I can't wait for warmer weather (like I say every time this year). If you have tips for Vienna I'd appreciate them.

Before I start I'd like to say that I am in no way an expert about this topic.

Yesterday I met some lovely people from Future Fashion. They are a new movement for sustainable textiles and conscious consumer behavior in Baden-Württemberg. 

I am studying fashion and will be working in the fashion industry but I've never really thought about sustainable fashion in depth. Sure I know the basics but it just didn't play a big part in my daily life. I live in the fast fashion sense. I love buying new clothes and switching up my style quite frequently. What I do though is buy a lot of second hand. As you can see, 50% of this outfit is thrifted. Clothes I don't want to wear anymore I sell at flea markets, on Kleiderkreisel or I go to clothing swap events where you bring a hand full of clothes which are still in good shape and you get to take some new clothes home. Basically a free trading post for clothing. 

I want to start being more conscious about sustainability in general and I need to do a lot more research, maybe even come up with a specific system to integrate it into my daily life. There's an international fair about fair trade and globally responsible action in Stuttgart 05-08. April 2018 which I'll try to attend. I also want to call attention to Marie Nasemann and her blog Fairknallt, which is dedicated to sustainable fashion. Also check out Fashion Revolution if you're further interested in this topic. 

Please let me know what your thoughts are, link good articles and tell me what you do daily to help further the cause.

Ever since I moved away from Hamburg it's been really tricky with keeping up with my blog. Usually when I have spare time I watch Netflix which I didn't use to do. Shows I can recommend:

- How to Get Away with Murder

- End of the f*** World

Another reason is that I'm not too happy with the way pictures turn out. I have some saved to my files but I'm just not happy with the quality but I might upload them anyway. Then there's the problem of photographer and location. I loved taking pictures with Maikie, it was easy, she knew exactly what I wanted and I never had to do too much editing. I haven't really found a "photo partner" yet. Location - I live in a freaking small town where it takes me forever to get to Stuttgart and the architecture in town here just isn't what I prefer. Bare with me, it's hopefully just a phase and I'll be back with regular content soon. In the mean time stay tuned on instagram where I at least post ootds into my story.
