Spotlight on: Nomads

One of the countries I have ALWAYS wanted to travel to is India. In fact, it would be a bit of a dream. And it was this beautiful country that inspired the ethical fashion line Nomads. Nomads was started by Duncan and Vicky in the late 1980s after meeting whilst travelling in India. Between them, they spent the last of their cash on ethnic, handmade clothes before heading home. With the profits they made, they continued to travel back to India, picking up fabrics and crafts on the way. From their shared love of India and its culture they were inspired to start up Nomads, creating styles to fit into the niche bohemian market.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a bit of a barefoot hippy at heart! What I love about Nomads are the ethnic, bohemian prints and, of course, their commitment to Fairtrade. I’m also all in for comfort all the time and that’s something else this fantastic brand provides! Another thing they provide? Tights!! That’s right… Tights. And I LOVE that they do! They truly have thought of it all while sticking with their core values of ethical fashion and respect for people and nature, something that I find truly inspiring.

So I thought I’d share with you a few of my picks from the current Nomads collection and I won’t lie… It was tough to choose!

Printed harems

I FLIPPIN LOVE harems, so comfy. And I love a beautiful print! This print also comes in a maxi skirt too.

Peacock dip hem shirt

Now this is my favourite, I love the print and style of this shirt. Christmas list for sure!

Embroidered shirt

I absolutely love the colour of this shirt, although it does come in a white and blue too! The embroidery just adds that little bit of extra luxury.

Print cord dress

CORD!! I know!!! A beautiful print cord dress, totally autumnal and cosy. An absolute dream!

Floral print leggings

Leggings are such a staple these days, and the floral print of these really makes them stand out. These are also provided in a alternative print and there are plain leggings too for if you’re not feeling as adventurous!

Cashmere fingerless gloves

Oh how I love these fingerless gloves! Cashmere is so soft and warm, who needs those fingers covered?!

Beaded necklace

Jewellery is a passion of mine and I love the beautiful simplicity of this piece! There’s also a matching bracelet and alternative style necklace top! The perfect gift for a special lady in your life.

I really encourage you, particularly as we approach the festive season, to hit the website and consider where your money is going this Christmas!

Happy Thursday! Hannah xo

Fairtrade felines

When two of my favourite things in the world collide…. Wow!!! It’s like a party in my brain!!!! And this post is about two of my favourites…. Fairtrade and felines! And in fact, it’s also about my other favourite- fashion! I know. You’re excited. I can feel it.

I’ve posted a little about People Tree before. This is a company I have OODLES of respect and time for. I love their designs and their ethos. And THEN I fell upon some of their new autumn line:

I love cats. A real and deep love. My cat, Bumper, is my little guy and so when it comes to anything cats, I automatically love it! And let’s talk about how CUTE this print is. And then the jumper- utterly adorable!!! Christmas wish list- check.

I just want to share a couple of slightly off topic pieces from the collection too. Because I love foxes:

And then let’s just talk about how this insanely gorgeous midi skirt is called… Hanna! And this Hannah loves a midi:

Happy Tuesday blog lovers! Hannah xo

Midi love

I am in no way ashamed to admit…. I’m in love with the midi!!! Skirt that is. I’ve always been one extreme or the other- maxi or, I confess, super short (in fact, my brother used to say to my mum “you’re not letting her go out in that are you!”). But as I’m getting older and, arguably, wiser, I’m starting to want to be that bit more modest while not sacrificing on style.

Enter the midi!! Stylish yet still oddly comforting and safe! I found this denim lovely and couldn’t leave the store without it. I’m absolutely certain it’s going to be my summer staple and I’m so excited about it’s versatility! That being said, I’m looking forward to a bit of customisation and altering the buttons up to something more interesting… Watch this space on that one.

Throw in a tasseled bag and some chunky heeled boots and you’re raring to go!
