11 Top Tips for Shopping Successfully on Vinted

I absolutely love shopping secondhand so when I came across Vinted a few years ago (a little late to the party) I was immediately hooked. I have covered most of Christmas using this app, I have found clothing items I adore, and I have purchased everything from shoes to bags, a clock, wetsuits, toys and books, costumes and Lego all at amazing prices. I have also used it myself to sell items I no longer need. It is the one-stop secondhand shop that I think everyone could benefit from using in order to prevent waste, save money, find treasures and really build up that circular economy. As I am so often asked how I manage to bag some of the items I show on my social media I thought I would share my 11 top tips for successfully shopping on Vinted with you…

Top 7 Laundry Tips for New Moms

*Collaborative Post

If you are not on your fourth load of laundry before lunchtime, either you are not doing something right, or you are not a parent.

Having a basket of clean laundry is a different kind of high for new moms. After having a baby, your washing machine and dryer will get the workout of their lives. If you are a work-at-home mom, folding clothes will likely be something you are all too familiar with.

If we’re honest with ourselves, we know that, deep down, there is no possible way to make doing mountains of laundry enjoyable – but we can make it bearable.

What is Slow Fashion?

*Affiliate Links

In a world where fast-paced fashion heavily dominates it is now more important than ever that we talk about and raise awareness of the damage this type of fashion is having on both our environment and the staff employed to create the pieces. From air pollution to dyes being pumped into waterways, poor working conditions and low pay, the virgin plastic production used in manmade fibres as well as the emissions created in transport, there is a LOT to unpack when we talk about the impact of fast fashion. It is a topic that I am still learning so much about and with its growth, there is always something new, and often devastating, to discover.

Amid fleeting trends, minimalist fashion offers many women a more streamlined approach to dressing.  It involves curating a collection of garments that evoke enduring sophistication.
