In my fashion school days, I learnt that fashion is not just about clothes, but it’s a social phenomenon that has nothing to envy to all other cultural phenomena. It is a status symbol, it represents power, status and more often than not, ethics and ideas. When was the last time you wore a band […]
Don’t keep water in your bedroom, don’t clutter the space under your bed, use yellow for kitchen decor. I bet you’ve heard it all when it comes to Feng Shui, right? It’s not that I don’t like it, I actually love the idea that the energy of our everyday spaces influences our life so much, […]
When I was 18, everyone around me wanted to be someone. No one wanted to go to uni and study “regular” stuff. My best friend wanted to become an actress, then there was the singer wannabe, a bunch of fashionistas, a couple of athletes aiming for the Olympics and a future politician. I obviously was […]
There’s a lot of talk about edgy clothing, but what is it really? Does “edgy” describe a particular style or maybe a certain attitude? I think it’s the latter, therefore, any look can be edgified (I think I made that word up). Wearing statement jewelry is edgy. Ripping your skinny jeans is edgy. Walking on platform shoes […]

I’ve been very much into sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyles lately, and I’ve noticed how I’ve never even thought about some things, especially not about natural nail polish. Think about it: we worry about plastic packages, microbeads, plastic bags, ingredients tested on animals and so on. But we’ve had one of the most polluting beauty products under […]
The biggest struggle for vegashionistas is finding vegan designer shoes. I mean, the real ones. I don’t see Ferragamo or YSL making vegan shoes in the near future, so if you’re a cruelty-free fashionista you’ll have to look for the perfect pump in some other places. Some high-end shoe designers have tried collaborations with ethical and cruelty-free […]
This is an unofficial sequel to the post 16 Amazing Vegan Clothing Stores Online. While the first list has a lot of great sustainable stores, I felt it was lacking alternative stores with unique styles and pieces that can really make a statement. So, here are five alternative stores that with vegan or ethical clothing. […]
“Joining a subculture, any subculture, for whatever reason, is as I see it never a legitimate self-expression. It is always a result of sheep mentality; a wish to belong somewhere.” Varg Vikernes Alternative fashion: a topic that could drive anyone crazy, even the most prolific fashion journalist. That’s probably why I quoted Burzum in the […]
