Girlsourced ChatsThe Psychology behind Fashion featuring Dr Dawnn Karen, Author of Dress Your Best Life and Founder of Fashion Psychology InstituteShopping for new clothes is a favourite past-time and stress reliever that most turn to for some respite. Whether it is in treating ourselves to a new dress for a wedding or buying that new loungewear set for comfort during those lockdowns, we will find every excuse to make a purchase. And by the end of every year we try hard to declutter our overflowing wardrobes. Yet, come the new year, we do it all over again. Is there any way around to finally setting our resolutions to breaking those habits in the new year?

Girlsourced ChatsDismantling biases of moms and age - featuring Sher-li Torrey, Founder of Mums@WorkBeing a mom changes a lot of things for a woman.

In this episode, we speak to Girlsourced Stylist Renata to find out how she went from being a fashionista to a minimalist and why she launched the Wardrobe Restart on Girlsourced to help ladies declutter and find better...

Girlsourced ChatsWhat is Sustainability - Featuring Anisa Johnny, co-founder of Style NomadsIt took us a long time to be able to talk about sustainability properly without greenwashing the topic or worse, sending conflicting messages with what we promote. After all, we do not pride ourselves to be a sustainable brand, simply one that supports sustainability by encouraging customers to buy only what they need. But after much groundwork, conversations with our stylists, industry advocates, and deep research (which really was just in one book Fashionopolis) we are finally able to discuss the topic in what we believe to be a meaningful manner. To share what sustainability really means. And when we s...
