This time of the year is definitely the time to be lounging around.

Sustainable and ethical fashion + Autumn
Just like that it hits you. Autumn. Often with freezing temperatures over night and/or cold winds that instantly remind you what it was like being cold to the bone.

Fashion Revolution: #whomademyclothes
