Cyber Week: The List

26.11.2019 / Festive

I created The Little Plum in 2013 as the digital ‘blogosphere’ was beginning to explode. Fast-forward to 2021, and I’m a 27 year old marketer, writer and content-creator, sharing reflections on love and life in our 20s. I help brands communicate their stories through beautiful visuals & creative concepts, but my passion has always remained deeply rooted in the written word. Why not have a poke around? Every article has been carefully put together and I’m sure you’ll find something that tickles your delight.

I know it’s too early to be dissecting the past

I know it’s too early to be dissecting the past year, but with the seasonal change erupting so beautifully and visibly around us, I can’t help but dig into my bag of reflections. If 2020 was a year of stillness then 2021 showed up and said ‘that ain’t me’, because everything seems to be changing. And as a creature of comfort, somebody who tends to fall into the same rhythm of routine, who quietly craves the safety of knowing what to expect, I have to say: I LOVE IT. I feel a bit like an archeologist chipping away at a new part of myself (that simile doesn’t work because archeologists uncover old things but, you know, it’s a Sunday, let’s go with it). Time continues to stretch out ahead of us but I like the neat division of months and days and years, so for the final few that lead us towards the start of a new calendar - well, let’s see what they hold.

I wanted to give my blonde bits a straight moment before the roots completely grow out 👱‍♀️✨ If you were waiting for a sign to do something different, THIS IS IT! (Scarf is a second-hand Acne buy from @vestiaireco. 🧣)

I’ve dug a photo out from the 2018 archives to ask: where do you stand on solo travel? 🔥Have you tried it? Did you love it? I asked on stories and majority of you have yet to give it a go, but like me, it’s on your bucket list. I like the idea of it - the sense of total freedom, the quiet, time belonging only to me - but in reality I think I’d get bored and lonely pretty quickly. I consider myself independent but I definitely rely on companionship for a sense of security and confidence. But maybe that’s a good reason to embrace solo travel, to escape the comfort zone. 🤔 Good AND bad experiences below please!

ad I love it when things come full circle 🟢 I first started using @davines_uk 6 or so years ago when I first went to my chosen salon (once you find a good spot, you never cheat, right?), and now I get to tell you about their partnership with the non-profit @plasticbank to prevent 100 tonnes of plastic from entering the ocean. The collected plastic is repurposed into products and packaging to continue its lifecycle in the manufacturing supply chain, and the collectors in coastal communities collect a premium to exchange for life insurance, school tuition, groceries etc. Davines share a lot of information about their sustainability practises and goals on their website so I’d recommend giving that a read (not always common - lots of companies keep their sustainability cards close to their chest), and other than that, I’d recommend MINU & NOUNOU as my favorites, and everything smells AMAZING. #RethinkingPlastic #IChooseDavines

Bringing out an old classic today with this coat which is ~ probably ~ my oldest item at around 6 years old. Swipe to see some questionable editing from 2015/2016 🌝📷 & let me know what you’re oldest item is! Initially I thought ‘shit, 6 years really isn’t that long at all’, but I have to remind myself that I was 21 6 years ago so the chances of me having clothes that are 15 years old is pretty unlikely. 😅

Sundays are liquid, poured out in gravy boats and the lapping of boots on beaches. Like a fluid chameleon they softly spill into whatever shape they’re to be held in, all quiet, comfy mass. Sipping and slurping, dipping and dunking - Sunday needs a hunk of crusty bread to mop up the juicy edges. What a pleasure is the day of simply just being!
