Who Is a Fashion Designer?
Fashion designers, they are just like us in a lot of ways- they have opinions and are not afraid to air them. Even those that should be left for kitchen table talk, in the wise words of Wendy Williams. Dolce and Gabbana are the latest designers to let their lips loose and the recipient of…

Mother’s Day
Mum… The one who knows when to call and exactly what to say The one whose magical kisses can always make the pain go away The one whose words of wisdom become our guiding light The one whose warm embrace makes everything better The one whose straight talk is chased down with a wise crack and…

Flawed- I Woke Up Like This.
This morning I woke up and there was a pimple on my chin, the most hurtful, hateful little pimple known to mankind. It was not there last night, and yes I know I didn’t wipe my face before falling asleep facedown in my pillow but it still does not warrant it being there does it?…

This morning I woke up to the most terrible news, my friend Ruth Staiman, aka @fashionoffice passed away. She was battling cancer. The world has lost an angel and there is no solace for that. Ruth was a wonderful person. I never met her in real life, we tried to meet several times but life…

Nigella Lawson on Vogue UK April 2014.
FINALLY! Some gumption from the most BORING magazine to roam the earth. Finally some show of backbone and smarts. Its been a long time coming. Its no secret, I don’t much care for Vogue, especially Vogue UK, I think its the most lacklustre magazine, its boring, patronising and shamefully un-diverse. You just have to look…

Stylist Magazine
Stylist is one of my favourite magazine, not because its free but because despite being free it manages to give such rich and exceptional content, most times. It covers a variety of topics, is a feminist champion, encourages reading, has some badass women writing for them, gives you handbags, sass and brains and everyone’s favourite…
