Hello lovebirds,

I try to be conscious about the way I shop. Oh boy, it's not easy. Especially since we live in a world where fast fashion is everywhere. No one seems to care about Ethic. The fashion industry is making millions with poor working conditions. Most of the time, there are no disclosure, no official statement. Every bad thing is kept under control.

Fashion has always been a big part of my life. When I was a kid, I would dress up and pretend to be in a fashion show almost every weekend. I love fashion. I love the power of fashion. However, I think it's important to be conscious of how we shop. I don't mean for you to stop shopping in Primark/Zara/H&M because they can produce cheap and affordable clothes. We all have different budgets and priorities.

We have all been there. Letting the society decide for us what to wear and who to be.

I'll simply ask you to consider changing your consumption habits. Buying less. Making it count. Looking for Ethic shops. Looking for quality over quantity. Supporting local - or simply smaller companies - over big groups of the fashion industry. To not throw away clothes - and money - or buy things you will never wear - just in case.

Whenever I'm shopping, I always ask myself the following questions: " do I really need it? Where was it made? What group owns this fashion clothing store? Do I see myself wearing this for years to come?"

Whenever I can, I buy stuff from local artists, vintage or members of the Ethical Trading Initiative shops. If you have not watched it or are not aware of the True Cost of Fashion. I think you should have a look on their website & movie.

On that note, I have gathered a few unique items from my favourite place to shop: Etsy. You don't have to break the bank to be careful about where to shop.



I prefer to invest in key pieces than to have a big closet filled with cheap and trendy clothes. What about you?

I hope you'll be inspired. Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello lovelies! You probably remember that I love Etsy. It's one of my favourite place to shop for Iphones cases and jewellery. They have so many unique and cute pieces. The last shop I've discovered is Lalaboho. I love absolutely everything on their shop. By the way, this post is NOT SPONSORED. I paid for everything. I simply love their shop and thought you'd love it as well.

My order came pretty quickly. Everything was as expected. I received some very cute and lovely earrings. I've been wearing them every single day. I've even been gifted a lovely twig ring. It came with my order. Such a lovely surprise! Everything was perfect.
You can see what I picked up on the photographs attached to this blogpost. If you're on the market for some boho jewellery, Lala boho is definitely the place to go! You can find out more about this shop here :

Lala boho - for the Gypsy heart and bohemian soul ≈
Our collection is inspired by both our passion for crystals and our travels in Asia. Fusing eastern aesthetic with western influences to create an affordable collection of fine jewellery and accessories. We have a carefully curated collection of handmade, assembled and vintage accessories for the bohemian heart and the gypsy soul. Fueled by a obsession with natural minerals and crystals, many moons ago we humbly started our business sourcing gemstone beads and charms to assemble and create bohemian style necklaces. Over the years we have grown as a collective, expanding our skill set from assembling to encompass lost wax casting, silversmithing and more recently we are excited to explore and share the art of electroforming. Team Lala is a busy hive of creative activity - we love what we do, and hope that you in turn will love what you order :)

They have a lot of boho jewelleries. You can find their shop here.

Coucou mes lovelies! J'ai découvert une boutique sur Etsy qui est tellement sympa que j'ai décidé de la partager avec vous. Cependant, sachez que cet article n'est pas sponsorisé. J'ai payé chacun des articles mentionnés. J'ai simplement aimé leur boutique et choisi de partager ma découverte avec vous.
J'ai reçu ma commande très rapidement. Cela a pris une semaine. J'ai reçu des boucles d'oreilles terriblement adorables. Ils ont même eut la gentillesse de m'offrir une bague en forme de branche. Vous pouvez découvrir mes achats dans les photos ci-dessous. Lala Boho est définitivement une boutique etsy qui vaut le détour!

Hello there lovebirds ♥ Once again I'm here to introduce a new etsy shop : NEED THE CASE. This shop opened on Dec 16, 2013. Her owner is Nastya Li. She is absolutely adorable. We talked a lot on etsy. The whole team is very professional, thoughtful and talented. Their unique Iphone cases are of great quality and I love all her designs. They are so gorgeous. I had a hard time finding just one case. The delivery took a bit of time on my first order but it was very quick the second time around. I'm very pleased with my order. I thought you might be interested in finding a good etsy shop where you could buy a new case for your phone. If you're anything like me, you'll fall in love with her shop!
I'm happy to share with you this etsy shop I discovered a couple months ago. I hope you'll enjoy this post. Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon ♥



" About three years ago, I was trying to find the phone case for my mother`s birthday. I knew what she wanted, but could not found it anywhere. It was even hard to imagine how upset I was. Finally, I found the present in some shop in US, but it was too late to order. So, I decided to do it by myself. I found the small shop in Kyiv – they promised me to do the case I wanted. But when i receive it, the case was SO awful. All in all, I tried to produce the case in three local shops, but the results were deplorable.

My mother`s birthday passed, but my crazy idea was still living. I read a lot, visited the print centers, and finally decided to try. That time I worked as a graphic designer, and draw a lot. I presented the first cases with my drawings to my friends, and they liked them. It inspired me to do more.

Now, we are the team of three. And I adore my job. I really have an obsession with patterns and try to find them everywhere – at home, at work, during my trips,etc.

WE really want to thank you for choosing us. WE appreciate every our customer and their choice to order our case. Hope you will enjoy our cases! "

{ } Hello, my beautiful birds! J'ai récemment changé de téléphone. De ce fait, il me fallait des nouvelles coques. Mon choix s'est porté sur cette boutique etsy. L'équipe de Nastya a réalisé ces deux coques. Ce sont deux coques que je trouve très originales et de bonne qualité. La livraison de ma première commande a été assez longue et la seconde bien plus rapide. Je suis très satisfaite de mes achats. Un peu trop puisque j'ai choisi de partager avec vous ma dernière découverte sur Etsy. Si vous cherchez une coque originale, n'hésitez pas à commander auprès de cette boutique. Ils sont fiables et ont des designs vraiment très sympathiques. En plus, sa propriétaire Nastya Li est très professionnelle et attentionnée.

Hello, my beautiful birds! For my birthday, my parents offered me this stunning VEGAN LEATHER handbag. Its size is medium. It is a light shade of grey. Kelly from GloopCreations and I talked together on Etsy for a while before I chose to order this bag. She made it herself. I got lucky enough as to choose the colour of this bag. She got it especially for me - how cool is that?! She was kind enough to offer me different grey alternatives. It was very fun. I can't get enough of this bag. It fits everything I need for a day of university or day out in the city. It's good for everyday wear. It's good quality and has a lovely finish. It's really well made. The delivery was fast and secure. Kelly is adorable, reliable and understanding which is a big bonus. You can get my bag here or a similar one.
I'm so happy to share with you this little shop I discovered on Etsy. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do and thanks for reading ♥




" Hi!
My name is Kelly and I am a student οf architecture at the technical university of Athens.
The whole idea of creating jewlery started for me when our school was on strike for a very long time (3 months) and I had some remains of brass from a model that I had been working on for a school project. I started playing with the pieces and soon I was creating rings for my mother and my friends. When the funds of my scholarship were delayed due to the strike, I decided it was time for me to start selling my jewlery to local bazaars. The attempt was quite successful so I started making bags and purses. I find it really intriguing trying to understand the way a purse is constructed and shaped and when I received a sewing machine as a nameday present, things really took off. This is when I decided to start my etsy shop, because I could finally offer a more professional and polished outcome. I try to create bags with simple geometric lines, that always have something special on them. I try to make bags that are chic, without being too classic or indefferent. I hope you enjoy my designs!
Thanks for visiting,
Kelly "

{ } Hello, my beautiful birds! Pour mon anniversaire, mes parents m'ont offert ce magnifique sac en cuir vegan. Il est de taille moyenne et de couleur gris clair. J'ai parlé avec Kelly de GloopCreations pendant un petit moment sur Etsy avant de passer ma commande. Elle l'a fabriqué elle-même. J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir choisir la couleur de ce sac. Kelly a été chercher cette couleur spécialement pour moi. Si ce n'est pas génial! Elle m'a gentiment proposé plusieurs teintes de gris. C'était très amusant. Je ne me passe plus de ce sac. Il me permet de transporter mes affaires pour l'université. Il est parfait pour aller en cours ou pour se balader en ville. Il est parfait pour tous les jours. Il est de bonne qualité et est très bien fini. Il est vraiment très bien fait. La livraison a été rapide et sécurisée. Kelly est adorable, fiable et très compréhensive. Ce qui est un bonus! Vous pouvez acheter mon sac ici ou encore un modèle similaire. Je suis contente de partager avec vous ma dernière trouvaille : cette petite boutique présente sur Etsy. J'espère que vous l'apprécierez autant que moi. Je vous remercie de continuer à me lire ♥
