THE SUMMER BAG
In summer, we shed the weight and drop the bulk; there’s no need for lugging so many things around when we have to contend with the heat. So drop the leather, tack on the canvas, grab a book, a note book, your phone, sun screen, lip balm and you are good to go. I love…

CORDS: FASHION MAINSTAY
Cords are proof that you should never throw out anything in your closet that is not a trend. Cords aren’t trends, your grandfather wore them. Your father wore them. You’ll wear them and pass them down because there is something everlasting about a pair of corduroy trousers; for starters, they are tough as nails. It…

LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

THE WARDROBE | JACKETS
I am grieving the end of summer, this was a summer that really summered; there was heat, there was sweat, there were late nights and sunsets. There was stolen kisses with pretty boys and dresses with spaghetti strings. There was ice cream, lots of ice cream, the air was humid and we wore sunglasses whilst…

THE SUMMER TRAVEL WARDROBE
Heatwave you say? I am here for it, for all of it. I’ll tell a wee funny story though, (did I just type wee? Why am I thinking Scottish all of a sudden?) I am one of those girls who loves the onset of summer, the promise of summer, but then just lounge indoors in…
