A large part of where surfing makes its money is through brands selling clothing and, despite appealing to a somewhat liberal-minded crowd, the models for these clothes usually fit the Barbie and Ken Doll stereotypes

That being said, surfing is a demanding sport, so you would expect the people who partake in it all to be in pristine condition. But being athletic doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a small waist and a six-pack. It seems cliché to say it, but some people are just built bigger. Broader shoulders, bulkier thighs, and height all play a big part in someone’s body shape, so you can still be relatively fit without the template figure.

I want to see brands, players, and fans continue to engage in a constructive manner and be open to talk about things affecting our communities

If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that we need to be flexible and adaptable. If we want to exist in this new way of life, it’s important for everyone to take note of what changes have been made for the better. Things like increased remote work, being better about spending and appreciating time with family, and being grateful for our first responders and essential workers. I hope as we transition into the new year, regardless of our state with Covid-19, we see brands continue to be flexible and adaptable. Brands have too often sat on the sidelines while players spoke up against injustices, and now we finally see them putting their money where their mouths are. My hope is that this isn’t a one time thing; I hope to see brands continue to show accountability for the players they represent and ensure the communities they market to be supported, represented, and respected.

Online shopping obviously has a significant take on our lives. There is now way more options online than in stores. Which can be good and bad. I get so overwhelmed by how many stores there are and all the options that we are given. So I tend to just stick to the same few stores I know works best for me.

Most the stores I will be listing are pretty reasonable and are great/decent quality.

  1. My absolute favorite online store: Revolve, It has a wide range of options, sizes, and styles for any occasion. Returning is super easy also. 
  2. Missguided: I’ve ordered a few things here and been happy with a vast amount of it. Their quality is pretty solid, and if you’re on a budget, it’s even better. I specifically buy their blouses that are trending. 
  3. BNKR: This is an LA-based store. They carry different labels, which I love…

Our times are contradictory: it seems that we have too much choice but in fact we hardly have choice at all. Take fashion: when was the last time you discovered new names in fashion industry? Always same brands in our wardrobe, same shops during sales… We rarely leave our comfort zone and while having access to all kinds of information about fashion trends continue to follow familiar roads, sometimes unconsciously. I always try to avoid this situation. Isn’t it exciting to discover new talented fashion designers who are like fresh air for your closet ? Fashion is a game, an adventure, a discovery and it’s up to us to make the best of it!

So let me introduce you a young but original lady’s bag brand VATINEL of which Alexandria bag I’ve recently became a happy owner.

Created by Melina Vatinel, a French designer living in Greece, VATINEL combines timeless…

is sustainable fashion strictly for the wealthy?

I wrote this feature for the amazing Elizabeth Stiles’ blog.

One of the highest contributing factors to the future of retail is the growing sensitivity towards sustainability and pollution. Consumers continue to fall out of love with fast fashion companies such as Primark due to its inability to adopt a more ethical and eco-friendly strategy towards manufacturing. Yet, these ethical items are often paired with a significantly higher price point and therefore pose the question: is sustainable fashion strictly for the wealthy?

Unfortunately, the pace of fast fashion has begun to warp our idea of value. Although we are all prone to purchase that £5 t-shirt, it has a huge cost, both socially and environmentally. According to the WWF, one cotton t-shirt can use up to 2,700 litres of water, with jeans using approximately 11,000 litres. If fast fashion didn’t satisfy the general consumer’s needs of purchasing little and often…
