Blogging Towards Bethlehem

Hello, Fairies! I hope you are all fluttering along fine and dandy, daaahlings. I've finally started my new job as a Learning Support Assistant, and I'm rather enjoying it. See, I'm NOT work-shy! I'm still looking for the elusive cool, creative job in the mean time and day-dreaming about getting snapped up as a silly little culture writer or something glamorous like that. I've got some truly scrumptious outfits lined up for you in this blog, dear readers. The blogs aren't as frequent as they were in the early days, but quality over quantity, yahhh? Would you rather five big daddy bottles of Lambrini, or one glass of champers? Actually, don't answer that... Lez get into it! * * * * * * * * On the week of Coachella, I had ideas about doing a festival fashion themed blog, but then, dear reader... I couldn't be arsed. Isn't that terrible? Well, I'm a working woman now, not a bohemian layabout (or not a full-time bohemian layabout, anyway). It's a...

Hello Fairies, It's finally Spring, hooray! The blossom is blooming, the lambs are leaping, and the bluebells are just a few weeks away, which is wonderful because the woods I live near are always awash with bluebells when the time is right.  Moschino SS22 Lamb Bag. Jeremy Scott, who recently announced he's leaving Moschino, said of the SS22 collection 'it's very ladies who lunch, but it's also nursery rhymes, so it's baby lady'.  Lil' jobseeking update: I've now got a job as a Learning Support Assistant at a local secondary school, although it's been about two weeks since they offered me the job and I haven't received a start date yet, which is unsettling. Watch this space, though! Anyhoo, let's get onto the [mostly] second-hand serves, yahhhh? * * * * * * * * After being bemused by the intentionally dishevelled outfits from Miu Miu's AW23 collection, I felt compelled to recreate the looks with clothes from mine and my mother's w...

Fair Ladies Support Fair Fashion

Greetings, Fairies! Sorry for the rather formal salutation, but a gal gets bored with only so many ways to say hello, hi, or hiiiiiiii  (′ꈍωꈍ‵) !!!! Maybe I'll start greeting you dear readers in other languages to bring a multicultural flavour to the blog — Reweary Fairy goes global . Makes sense, seeing as fast fashion and the climate crisis are worldwide issues, duh! It certainly makes more sense than the "ethics panel" on ethical sourcing practices in fashion which was comprised entirely of Boohoo representatives.  Yes, you read that right, representatives of Boohoo, a company who were paying some staff in their Leicester factory 'as little as £3.50 an hour'  in 2020, were literally the only people invited to sit on an ethics panel hosted by Source Fashion on February 14th this year. Preposterous. BOOOOOO!  Shoutout to the fair fashion activists who  stormed the panel's stage . Scenes from the Boohoo protest via @venetialamanna's Instagram. Look at tha...
