Powerscourt House and Gardens

While we were in Dublin, we had some time available before my sister and the family came in from the U.S. We asked the concierge at the Fitzwilliam Hotel where we could go that is close to Dublin. He quickly suggested Powerscourt House and Gardens and we were so glad that he did. It is [...]

About Me

Joy Josephs
Joy Josephs

I love fashion. I have been a big fan of anything fashion for as long as I can remember. There is something about fashion that allows for unique self expression. However, as the years have gone by and as I have accumulated and wasted more and more stuff, I have decided that my self expression through fashion has come at a steep cost. That cost is related to the environment, social justice, protection of animals, and sound financial management. So last year, I decided to go on a fashion and beauty sustainability journey. It is definitely a journey that requires constant research and habit change. I wanted to document that journey and hopefully provide some information, tips, and inspiration with sustainability in mind. I also deeply love travel and photography. This is an avenue to share those experiences as well.

  • I can’t believe how warm it is today! It’s about 60 degrees, which is why I can see the ground again. I’m glad that there’s finally respite from the winter storms. I finally got to take my vegan leather skirt for a spin. It’s from @bananarepublic sustainable line Better Shop. Also I wanted to try out this coat which is from the sustainable line of @zara called Join Life.

  • Travel Tuesday... Hanging out with the pigeons at Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Spain. It is a famous town square where people chill out and just enjoy the day. I personally like to people watch there. We spent 10 glorious days in Barcelona . I have a few blog posts about Barcelona on the travel section on my blog. Link in bio . #lasramblas #travelbarcelona #barcelonaspain #travelenthusiast #visitspain
  • I thought I’d go through some old stuff in my closet and get dressed up a little. I love shopping my closet. I find that there’s always different ideas to put my old clothes together. Do you like shopping your closet?

  • I totally scored with this bag. I have been looking at bags from @pixiemood for quite a long time. The company makes vegan bags and have continuously dedicated themselves to sustainable practices in their manufacturing. Then I found this sustainable bag secondhand from @thredup so double sustainability for me!!! I try to be as conscious as possible with my purchases and put a lot of thought into it. Is that something you do?

  • I think the order of the day is to stay in. We have about a foot of snow outside and very frigid temperatures. My cozy secondhand sweater and pants from @thredup are perfect for these cold days. #thredUP #thredUPambassador #sponsored
  • Travel Tuesday: wet winter is so much more bearable when you’re at The Palace of Versailles. It is an incredibly beautiful, but very opulent place. As beautiful as it is, it makes me think if it’s a bit tone deaf to have a home this grand when there are so many people struggling to get by. One thing I love about travel is that it does get me to think about things that I wouldn’t normally think about. What do you like about travel? #visitfrance #visitversailles #parisfrance #paristravel #parismuseum #travelenthusiast #winterinparis
  • A little throwback to give you some secondhand summer vibes.. while we are still in 20 degree weather and buried in snow.. who else is over this winter polar vortex? #summervibes #throwbackfashion #summeroutfitinspo #romper #secondhandstyle #thriftedstyle #thredup #sooverwinter
  • I’m ready for the elements.. albeit sustainably... secondhand coat and denim.. sweater made from recycled materials... combat boots I’ve owned for a long time.. #minimaliststyle #winterootd #secondhandfirst #thriftedootd #thriftedfinds #prelovedclothes
  • The snow is here to stay... might as well enjoy it. Did you know that you can wear your summer dresses even in the freezing cold winter? I’ve layered this secondhand summer dress from @thredup over a turtleneck bodysuit and fleece lined leggings. Then I added a parka with some combat boots that have a deep tread.. This is a great way to minimize consumption and wear items in your closet a lot.. would you wear summer dresses in the winter? #wearyourcloset #notbuyingnew #winteroutfits #outfitrepeater #minimaliststyle #capsulewardrobe
  • Travel Tuesday: Me looking at the Sedona Mountain Ranges enjoying the warm sun in February last year. Today... watching my dog barely make it out of the thick snow. What do you prefer? I say Sedona, but preferably with my dog.  #visitsedona #travelarizona #traveltuesday #sedonaarizona
