Stepping into New Year, believing in myself and the power of good. All sparkle and shine.

I choose to compete with my ego, procrastination, anger, not with other people
I choose to think outside the box
I choose to create new paths, not always follow them
I choose to never let vanity take over my ethics
I choose to buy less, choose well and make it last
I choose to give back to society, not just keep taking from it
I choose to be a better version of myself everyday



Some old, some new - the bag I am wearing has been in my wardrobe for over 8 years now. Everything I buy, I've committed to wearing it atleast a 25-times.

I am making a conscious effort to choose ethical brands over fast fashion, and while I am not even close to keeping up to this commitment, I am not giving up on this.

Ethical brands in Dubai can be harder to find, not always fitting the pocket and shopping online can sometimes be tricky. You don't get deliveries, the duties and taxes add up to the cost, and if it doesn't fit right the whole hassle of returning back is a nightmare. Yet, there is no excuse - because where there is a will there is a way.

So the goal is to buy less, choose well and make it last. Favoring ethical brands, never buying anything that comes from animal suffering - getting to the human suffering too very soon!

How about you? What are your ethical fashion commitments?
