No Mow May is a brilliant campaign by Plantlife, encouraging people to let their gardens grow wild for just one month - to give bees, butterflies, and biodiversity a chance to thrive. A simple pause that supports complex ecosystems.

At Our Fashion Fix, we usually talk about what’s in your wardrobe - but today, we’re talking about what’s in your fridge. Stop Food Waste Day is a global movement to raise awareness about one of the biggest (and most overlooked) climate issues we face: food waste.

Fashion Revolution is a global movement advocating for a fairer, safer, and more transparent fashion industry. Founded in 2013 by Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro in response to the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh—which claimed over 1,100 lives—it has grown into the world’s largest fashion activism campaign, active in over 75 countries.

This Earth Day, the theme “Our Power, Our Planet” reminds us that renewable energy is at the heart of climate action. The goal? Triple global renewable electricity by 2030. It’s an urgent call for governments, industries, and individuals to come together - and that includes fashion. Fashion might not be the first sector that comes to mind when we talk about clean energy, but it has a key role to play. From the fields where cotton is grown, to the factories where garments are dyed, sewn, and shipped, the fashion industry is powered by an energy-hungry, fossil-fuel-heavy global machine.

If we want a fairer, cleaner future, fashion needs to plug in differently.

We all know that fashion has the power to make us feel amazing. The right outfit can boost confidence, help us nail that dream job (shoutout to Smart Works, which provides confidence-boosting clothing to women returning to work), and even protect us from the elements. But behind the sequins, statement pieces, and dopamine dressing, fashion has a darker side - one that’s affecting our health in ways we might not even realise.

We hear it all the time: "Customers demand next-day delivery." But do they really? Or has the industry created this expectation, only to struggle with the consequences? If next-day delivery wasn’t offered, would shoppers still demand it, or have we simply conditioned them to expect instant gratification?

Mother’s Day is all about showing love and appreciation - but does it have to mean wasteful packaging, mass-produced gifts, and fleeting bouquets? This year, why not make it meaningful and kinder to the planet? Whether you’re planning a special day out, looking for a gift with purpose, or finding a way to honour a loved one in a thoughtful way, we’ve got you covered. Let’s rethink Mother’s Day with conscious choices that are kinder to the planet while still being heartfelt.

How to spot greenwashing- shall we call it the green eyed monster.

It’s easy to feel like sustainability is everywhere. New materials, circular business models, ambitious net-zero goals - progress, right? But step outside the sustainability space, and the reality looks different. Fast fashion is still booming, microplastics are piling up, and greenwashing is more sophisticated than ever.

Navigating prom can be both an exciting and a challenging adventure—something I’m learning firsthand as my 16‐year-old daughter’s prom is set for this summer. As we explore rental alternatives here in London, I’ve found that striking a balance between style, cost, and sustainability is key to a memorable night without unnecessary stress.

The fashion industry is built on the hands of women. Around 80% of garment workers worldwide are women, many of whom work in unsafe conditions for poverty wages. Yet, at the same time, women drive 60-75% of fashion purchases globally, making us not just part of the problem - but the solution.

Smart ways to gear up for ski season

The era of cheap, disposable fashion is beginning to fray. As the cost-of-living crisis bites and environmental awareness rises, a quiet revolution is reshaping how people approach their wardrobes. The latest WRAP report, Displacement Rates Untangled, reveals how preloved and repaired clothing is not only disrupting fast fashion but also offering a tangible solution to overconsumption.

Ever wondered where all the tiny plastic particles floating in our oceans come from? Sure, we hear a lot about plastic straws and single-use bags, but what about your favourite yoga leggings or that fleece sweater you love? Turns out, the clothes we wear are a major culprit in microplastic pollution. And the worst part? Those tiny fibres don’t just stay in the sea - they’re now in our bodies, too.

As we near the end of half-term for some (how did that happen so fast?!), it's time for the annual parental scramble - what are the kids going to wear for World Book Day? (6th March). While we love the excitement of bringing our favourite book characters to life, let's be honest: the pressure to buy a brand-new costume every year isn’t great for our wallets or the planet.

Valentine’s Day - love it or loathe it, it’s hard to ignore! There are countless ways to say “I love you” or show someone they’re appreciated, and it doesn’t have to involve grand (and often wasteful) gestures. A heartfelt note, a shared experience, or a meaningful gift can be just as, if not more, special. That said, if you’re in the market for a grand gesture, there are definitely better ways to do it - without costing the Earth. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Hello, 2025! It’s that time of year when we set fresh goals and resolutions. But what if this year, instead of the usual "hit the gym" or "eat more kale" promises, we aim to reduce our impact on the planet? Enter the 10 R’s - a practical guide to living greener and kinder. Let’s explore!

We live in a world constantly vying for our attention. Scrolling news feeds, snapping selfies, and replying to messages – our phones have become extensions of ourselves. But in this digital deluge, we often miss the magic happening right in front of our eyes. Let's face it, how many times have you been at a stunning location, like the Louvre, only to see people more engrossed in capturing the perfect Instagram shot than appreciating the breathtaking artwork adorning the walls?

It’s mid-December, and the countdown to the big day is on! You’ve carefully chosen thoughtful, meaningful gifts—ones that are better for your loved ones and the planet. But have you thought about how you’re going to wrap them?
