IN MY BASKET
While the Love Islanders are all able to show off their killer figures in bikinis, the British weather doesn’t allow for quite so much flesh flashing.
Instead, I’m opting for pretty summer dresses that are more weather appropriate.
I’ve been avoiding spending before pay day, but after spotting this striped dress I knew I had to have it
If stripes aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other gorge frocks around to satisfy that payday shopping itch.
Here are my favourite…
- Dress, £89, & Other Stories –
- Dress, £35, Dorothy Perkins –
- Dress, £25, Monki –

NEWS JUST IN
You’d be forgiven if you didn’t realise that washing your clothes was having a significant impact on the environment.
According to research carried out by charity Hubbub, two in five people are unaware that we’re eating our own clothes.
Yep, you read that right!
60% of all clothing contains polyester, which is made using plastic, so when washed sheds plastic microfibers. These in turn flow into drains and oceans, animals and even the food chain.
The environmental charity launched the #WhatsInMyWash campaign this week in partnership with The Campaign for Wool, highlighting the environmental impact the plastic microfibers that are released from our clothes when washed.
If you remember the furore about cosmetic microbeads, you’ll also be shocked to discover that these microfibers cause 16 times greater plastic pollution.
But there is something you can do about it.
Instead of washing your clothes after every wear, wash them only when necessary.
Washing them at a lower temperature (30 degrees) can also prevent your clothes from wearing faster, which can lead to microfiber release, and ensuring you only use a full load can also help.
I better let my laundry-addict housemate know!!
