I've just returned from a fabulous short break in the UK, me and my daughter took a gamble on the weather and travelled to the Isle of Wight for 3 nights. We were keen to avoid airport delays and flight cancellations when we only had a very short window of opportunity to get away. The gamble paid off and we were blessed with amazing sunny weather. And a bonus that it wasn't the heatwave the rest of the UK got, we had perfect temperatures of around 21 degrees and the most fabulous views of the beach and sea from our Airbnb apartment. Packing for a UK break can present quite the dilemma, trying to cover all eventualities with unpredictable weather, from heatwave to rain, balmy days and cooler nights. Of course the benefit of a UK break is that we often travel by car, which means we can throw extra layers in without cluttering up a suitcase. I had a raincoat, a blanket, beach towels and a brolly just in case! I tend to travel with everything but the kitchen sink! The Isle of Wight was really fabulous, easy to access via Red Funnel Ferries from Southampton to Cowes and then a short drive to Totland Bay where we were staying.

I've noticed during my online browsing (and buying) that there has been a significant shift towards availability of eco-friendly, sustainable fabrics, maybe I am stating the obvious, but I hope we are all becoming far more aware of the environmental impact of the choices we make when shopping. From buying less, to buying (and selling) pre-loved fashion, renting outfits, and choosing eco-friendly fabrics whenever possible, we are no longer prepared to accept fast fashion. But what should we be looking for, what can we do when we are shopping and what are the most sustainable fabrics (and the least sustainable), can the big fashion brands ever be truly sustainable?
