Here's a low-down of our incredibly breathtaking three-week tour of Slovenia, Italy and a dash of Austria.  Lunch break at Lago Di Santa Croce (Italy) We’ve just got back from our jam-packed roadtrip around Slovenia (hopping over into Italy and Austria too)! We spent three weeks travelling, eating, drinking (2 Euro cartons of wine only!) and sleeping in our rental campervan. From stumbling across local farm-stays, to swimming in pristine alpine waters. From ziplining (and simultaneously screaming/shitting/crying) our way through the mountains, to sipping on local wine in Slovenia’s answer to Tuscany. From sweating our way round 50 hairpin corners, to staring silently at green-screen views (#fakeviews). Its safe to say we listened to way too many Guilty Feminist podcast episodes on the road (we say 'on the road now', cos we're rad and cool and camp and stuff). I'm feeling #inspired to share our finds of hidden gems and must-sees in Slovenia and Italy!
Follow our route here - you have so much flexibility in Slovenia, since its such a small country. A change of heart can mean just a 1 hour journey to a totally new place!

As many of you requested... After months of being wayyyy too emotionally invested in my Dissertation, this is the final copy that I am super excited to share with you. Feel free to comment on the findings... Abstract The purpose of this study is to demystify the underlying motivations of the millennial women purchasing feminist fashion, by identifying frequently occuring value chains. Following a means-end approach and using in-depth laddered interviews of millennials who have actually purchased feminist fashion commodities, this research found seven underlying values that drive their choice to consume feminist fashion commodities. The ubiquitous ‘Girl Power’ narrative in fashion stores and online is unmissable. A Fourth wave of feminism has descended onto the marketplace, fuelled by millennials who are using their remarkable online connectivity and consumption habits to take a stand for social justice. Brands are acknowledging the power of associating themselves with empowering female narratives, as a means to expand markets and remain relevant to young consumers. The results offer qualitative insight into how management should market fashion commodities with feminist signifiers, pointing towards a variety of target segments: Educators, Rebels, Self-Expressors, Community Builders, Self-Esteem Seekers and Helpers. Each segment is driven by a correlating underlying value including the desire to educate others about feminism, rebellion in the face of society’s sexism, feeling a sense of belonging to a community, self-esteem and supporting others. This study has identified that female millennial consumers purchasing feminist commodities are not solely driven by the desire to present a positive image and/or the desire to remain consistent with internal values, as presented by literature into prosocial behaviour (Kristofferson et al., 2016). Instead, since the nature of feminist fashion commodities is controversial, millennial women are also driven by the desire to disrupt the status quo. Download the whole file below :)
