Friday was my birthday and I was extremely lucky to recieve some beautiful presents by ethical fashion brands from my family. Whilst it is always lovely to know that someone cares about me enough to buy me a pressy on my birthday, I enjoy presents even more so knowing that they have been made with respect for people and the planet. This year I have decided to post about my presents in separate posts, to give me the chance to share a little more about each of the brands. First of all is the scarf given to me by Mr S (of course I did give him a little help in choosing!)

The scarf is handpainted and all the way from Australia(via Etsy), which seems like a long way to come but it was quite light to send and was definitely worth it as I really love it.The Shovava shop on Etsy features a range of handpainted scarves most with feather and wings designs on them. I choose my present because of the neutral colours with mint green accents which will be perfect for adding a little interest to my spring and summer wardrobe.

The designer, Roza started the brand to uplift people, even change the way they hold themselves. She says,

If you have wings, how can you be unhappy or act ungracefully?

The designs are inspired by the beauty of nature and the smallest details and aim to give joy. She values craftmanship, the honesty of the imperfect and the experience of creation. I wore my scarf on Friday which was also Fashion Revolution Day to wander around Bath. I was really pleased to discover a shop that has just started to sell organic and bamboo clothing.

Here are a few of my birthday Instagrams:

I hope that you are having a good week?

With warmest wishes
