There’s are so many pretties available there from exquisite antiques to incredible Italian vintage and so much more so if you are doing the Newstead @salvosstores and a @vinniesshops shop why not walk around the corner and come and check it out? It’s only a skip and hop away . . I am going #offline48 for the weekend so have a fabulous Friday everyone and thanks for all the comments, likes, repost and messages this week.

Things I learned through Instagram, number 17: It’s nice to be missed 🥰
.
.
Instagram is so weird, loads of people think they see me everyday day because of my outfit post, but the reality is that sometimes months go by without seeing people that think they’ve seen me every day
.
.
I have never been such a Nigel no friends IRL more than when I started this account. Don’t get me wrong, I made loads of new insta friends with people who love the same things as me but still, I miss my in real life friends
.
.
The truth is that It takes a lot of effort to keep a micro blog account going, in more ways than just the daily words and outfit post. You often sacrifice time with your loved ones and that’s something I am trying to work really hard lately so it’s a lot more balanced
.
.
Taking #offline48 over the weekends, skipping days and only posting when the burning desire is there to do so and making time to reach out to people in real life are a few of the things I am doing. Do you have any other Ideas or thing you do to have a healthy online presence?

Feeling fresh as a daisy after my sixth #offline48 for this year and I have to say, there’s something super liberating about not being a slave to my mobile . . I have to idea why, but I have much more of a “do what do want” attitude when I am not holding my phone 24/7 - anyone else feels the same? . . I had a much needed long weekend and it was fabulous. Rog and I spent the day at the beach on Saturday and yesterday Mum and went to a @sfh_designs designs Christmas party and as always it was filled with lovely ladies and delicious treats. Check out my stories for some of the highlights . . I am wearing my latest find via @ethnicaeclectica and I have to reenforce the fact that you must really give thing a try. I totally dismissed this dress when I saw it hanging, but upon close inspection I realized it may actually fit me and it totally did. It’s cotton, vintage and by one of my favorite Italian makers and I couldn’t be happier with it. Happy Monday everyone! . . #ethicalclothing #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ethicallymade #sustainableclothing #vintageshop #ethicalfashionblogger #fashionrevolution #slowfashionmovement #nothingnew2019 #buynothingnew2019 #buynothingnew #30wears #shop216commercialroadantiques #styledsustainable #SpotMyStyle #realstreetstyle #slowfashionseason #oootd #nadirpositano (at Newstead, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-wC5zAs3N/?igshid=1daqz479zpv4b

Feeling fresh as a daisy after my 5th #offline48 for this year💥 . . . It was a weekend filled with catch ups with friends, a bit of reading (Make it happen by @jordannalevin) podcast listening (mostly with profesor #BrianCox) a bit of sewing (cushion covers) and general in real life's loveliness . . Also, we went for a wonder to Paddington and was happy to see a few new circular fashion shops around that area including @redcrossshops and @thegorgeouscollective right across the road . . I was lucky to attend a private soirée hosted by Sam last week and picked up this frock and a couple of other items for Christmas presents because #buynothingnew2019 👏 . . #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ethicallymade #sustainableclothing #vintageshop #ethicalfashionblogger #fashionrevolution #slowfashionmovement #nothingnew2019 #buynothingnew2019 #buynothingnew #30wears #shop216commercialroadantiques #styledsustainable #SpotMyStyle #realstreetstyle #slowfashionseason #oootd (at Newstead, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4stYv2Af4L/?igshid=1t6huqm38z1pi

As I head into the weekend and #offline48 I am thinking about how much effect we are having, as consumers I mean do we want all fast fashion companies to go down like forever 21 or do we want fast fashion companies to slow down so we can also slow down the consumerism button? Is that even possible? Have we become so used to weekly drops at the shops that it’s caused irreversible habits? I think we can all change and we can chose to say no to shopping whenever we want to. I am proof of that but I struggle with the core of the environmental problem witch is consumerism. How do we even fix that? #ethicalclothing #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ethicallymade #sustainableclothing #vintageshop #ethicalfashionblogger #fashionrevolution #slowfashionmovement #nothingnew2019 #buynothingnew2019 #buynothingnew #30wears #shop216commercialroadantiques #styledsustainable #SpotMyStyle #realstreetstyle #slowfashionseason #oootd (at Newstead, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3c2LGAAG4l/?igshid=1rmgfhsenp21b
