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.

I found this original 80s two piece ensemble at a second hand store in Stuttgart. I was unsure at first and planned on wearing it during the summer but I threw a long sleeve underneath and thought it made a cool autumn look.

I feel like I need to apologize for not uploading as frequently as I used to, here on my blog as well as on Instagram. I'm still trying to get into a daily routine where I can fit all of my to-dos in. I also haven't had much time or found the right people to take pictures with on a regular basis. It will just all take some time although I do have my next few outfits planned! My first exam week is coming up as well so I really need to get some studying done. My dear sister Ally (@allyisbl) took these pictures for me when she and my parents came to visit beginning of the month. 

This outfit is something different to my usual, a little bit more of a casual look. I used to wear my wide brimmed hat a lot back when I didn't have my bangs but since then I haven't found a hat that I really liked. A friend of mine then lent me his baker boy hat and I had to get myself my own afterwards.

Things have been going really well recently. University is fun, I've been meeting a ton of people. My apartment is all done and a good friend and my family have been to visit the last weeks. I have a part-time job and a place to work during my next semester break.

This is my sister. Together we kick ass.

Hey there, sorry it's been so long. I've moved to a town near Stuttgart now to study fashion management and it's been surprisingly good so far. I do miss my old self and it's been quite the adjustment from big city life to nearly small town life. There are tons of students here though and most of them stay here over the weekends as well. 

These pictures were taken in late July by Maikie, who has relaunched her blog! And please go send Ally some love on her instagram as well.
