AD - GIFTED | Living in joggers ATM? Me too! I've ditched the jeans in favour for joggers, sweatshirts, hoodies and leggings. Of course, loungewear is more popular and more available than ever, now that we are again being advised to spend more time at home in light of coronavirus pandemic. And, with many of us working from home or furloughed, it's important we're all as comfortable as possible during such uncertain times, as well as keeping warm during the colder months of the year. For me, loungewear is the epitome of comfort; you can still feel cute, casual and comfy, whilst looking super stylish and put together. Loungewear might be basic, but it's definitely not boring! There's so many cute styles and sets available, you'll be wanting something in every colour and your wardrobe will be filling up in no time at all!

I was recently kindly gifted some pieces from FemmeLuxe, and wanted to share some lockdown loungewear pieces with you and how I have styled them. Joggers and lounge sets are this seasons essentials, whether you dress them up or down, they are super versatile and some comfy pieces you defo need. If you're looking for a pair of new joggers or a loungewear set, you'll want to keep reading this post as you may just find what you've been after!
Loungewear Outfit Inspo
Outfit 1 - You can never go wrong with a black outfit. Black clothing is definitely my favourite to wear and this combo is the perfect 'fit for everyone. Featuring an elasticated waist with a hidden drawstring and a cuffed hem, these joggers are super comfy and flattering. I've teamed up these black oversized joggers* with a slogan sweatshirt for the perfect everyday look. I sized up in these lounge joggers, so they would be super oversized and comfy. This outfit is perfect for both inside and outside, so whether you're popping to the shops, chilling in bed watching Netflix or even doing an at home workout, this is what you need!

Grey Tie Dye Oversized Sweatshirt Loungewear Set FemmeLuxe
Outfit 2 - Is there anything cuter than a matching co-ord lounge set? If tie dye and oversized is your vibe, then you're gonna need to get your hands on this asap! This grey tie dye loungewear set* is so soft and slightly more fitted to the body, you could even wear these as a pyjama set. You could even wear this out of the house too! Simply pair with an oversized black puffer coat and some chunky trainers, and you're good to go!

Tan Cuffed Joggers FemmeLuxe
Outfit 3 - For this outfit, I kept things quite neutral and styled the outfit around similar colour tones. Nudes and browns are everywhere these days, and definitely some of the top colours of the autumn/winter season. I've teamed a simple nude sleeveless bodysuit with some tan oversized joggers*, for that casual off-duty look. To add some warmth to the outfit, I've paired it with a neutral checked shacket which are super on-trend right now, and perfect for those slightly warmer, autumnal days when you don't need a super warm coat.

Stone High Waisted Seam Cuffed Joggers FemmeLuxe
Outfit 4 - Again, another simple outfit. You can't go wrong with an oversized sweat and some joggers for the perfect WFH outfit.. On this occasion, I've gone for something slightly different. These high waisted joggers* have a seam running down them, which just adds some interested to the outfit, and helps to elongate the legs. A simple slogan sweat is a must have, and this green colour is absolutely gorgeous! Team this with a pair of slippers for at home, or a gorgeous, thick teddy coat and trainers for when you're popping out.

So whether you're looking for some WFH outfit inspo, or are simply on the hunt for some casual, comfy and super affordable loungewear, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more joggers and sets. You can never have too many!

AD| Plastics are causing a multitude of issues in our oceans and natural environments, ultimately contributing to health problems in humans and animals. They can last around in the environment for such a long time; with specific plastic items can take up to 1,000 years to decompose - causing problems with threatening wildlife, spreading toxins, and contributes to factors such as global warming. 

Becoming more eco friendly at home, living a more sustainable life and helping preserve the environment may seem like it can be a lot of work, but by changing a few parts of your daily routine can make such a big impact. Whether you start to recycle paper, glass and plastics, purchase loose fruit and vegetables on your weekly shop or even use sustainable coffee pods, all these small changes really add up in the long run.

 An easy switch for many of us coffee lovers would be being more careful with the type of plastic coffee pods we purchase for our coffee machines. Just by spending a few minutes researching about the materials used in an everyday items like coffee pods, and making sure they are biodegradable and sustainable will help protect the environment. 

Switching to a brand like Halo coffee pods is a small change with a big impact. They sell their products with the claim - "The world's best coffees, in a way that's best for the world". The founders of Halo are on a mission to not only make great coffee but also to rid the world of discarded plastic and aluminium coffee capsules. With its fully recyclable range of coffee capsules made from waste sugarcane, these coffee pods are super eco-friendly, will degrade in as little as four weeks and you'll still end up with a greatest tasting cup of coffee.

Single use plastic pollution is probably the most widespread problem in our current ocean and marine ecosystem. Marine species such as turtles, birds and fish are ingesting/entangled by plastic debris such as straws and food/drink containers, which causes severe injuries and can lead to a significant amount of deaths. Not only does this affect ocean health, this type of pollution can also affect food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.

As well as single use plastics, microplastics also have such damaging effects on people, animals and the environment. Microplastics affects our food chain,  including the soils where we grow food, in the water we drink and the air we breathe. Ingested microplastic particles can physically damage organs and expose hazardous chemicals, leading to health and environmental problems.

As a whole, I think it's important that we act differently, efficiently and be more knowledgeable around environmental issues in the world and how we can be more eco friendly at home. By changing small parts of our routines, research into new products or adapting the way we shop, these little steps can have a big impact on the world around us and help to change the way we deal with products/materials in the environment.

What changes have you made to be more eco-friendly and to help the environment?

AD| When purchasing jewellery for gifting purposes, it can be extremely hard to find something suitable for the right price. Ideally you want to pay a good price for the perfect piece, and that you know is worth the price tag and is made to last. Many jewellers these days are mass producing the same pieces, making them widely available to everyone, but have you ever considered purchasing something slightly older, timeless and antique? Antique jewellery can be just as statement and stunning as newer made jewellery pieces, and can really be worth the investment. For a piece of jewellery to be considered antique it has to be 100 years’ or more old, this really gives the item some character and allows you to see the detail and quality from the time it was produced.

Whether you're one the lookout for rings, necklaces, earrings or bracelets, here are a few reasons why antique jewellery would make the perfect gift for anyone, and why you should consider it over new jewellery pieces.

antique jewellery

 Antique jewellery items have been made to a high quality and finish, as they are almost always hand-made or hand-finished with such incredible details. These pieces would have been produced by experienced craft men, allowing these jewellery pieces to be the best of the best. These jewellery pieces are specially designed often creating intricate and unique designs on a bespoke basis, rather than for the mass market. 

 Items can be a good investment if purchased from a reputable and well established jewellers, such as carusjewellery.com. You'll be under the impression that these fantastic jewellery pieces have been well looked after and kept in pristine condition. It's also worth mentioning that purchasing antique jewellery has a huge impact on the environment, as this way of sourcing pieces is much more sustainable and ethical. Investing in antique jewellery pieces is a great way to minimise wastefulness and be more environmentally friendly, and is one of the easiest ways of conserving precious resources. You'll also be supporting smaller, local businesses instead of mass corporations, which can be very rewarding to know.

 One of the main advantages of buying antique jewellery is that you are almost certain not to find someone else wearing the exact same piece. Antique items are more unique and not mass made, making them extraordinary timeless pieces that can really make a statement in any jewellery collection. Many antique pieces were often handmade so even similar pieces are slightly different and you can almost guarantee your piece will be one of a kind.

When choosing antique jewellery items, you can really search for the perfect piece, specially personalised for the person receiving the gift. For example, you could purchase a piece that reflects the person's birthstone, or a piece is made reflecting a certain style that they like. For me, my birthstone is diamond, so this ring would be perfect. Researching into buying the perfect antique piece of jewellery can be really exciting, and can really make the gift more sentimental, more special and more thoughtful.

Overall, researching and hunting down the perfect antique pieces of jewellery maybe tiresome work, and may take some time to find the exact piece you're looking for, but it is definitely worth it in the long run. Not only do you have a memorable piece of history, but you will also have such a unique product that will really make a statement in your jewellery collection. You'll be able to wear your timeless piece of jewellery year after year and it definitely wont go out of fashion any time soon!

Would you consider purchasing antique jewellery?
