In Retail – Catering To The More Seasoned Shopper
My first job in fashion retail was at eighteen, Russell & Bromley at the time I used my staff discount against each purchase and paycheque and at one point I went home with a fifty pound paycheque in what should have been an eight-hundred pound paycheque. Those were the days, when shops where simply as…

GAP- It’s Not Us, It’s You
If GAP were a boyfriend, he would be the really needy, cloying type always wanting affection and reassurance; like me, need me, want me… Like Oy Vey grow a pair. Everyday, every other day, in my inbox is an email from GAP, 40% off, 35% off, 30% off code, 40% off duo deal and extra 10%…

Ivy Park- Body by Bey
On my bucket list is a body like Beyonce. No joke, no word of a lie, I love Bey’s body and I love the way she loves her body. Nothing about her body is wrong. Hips, an ass that won’t quit, that waist, damnit that waist and the sensuous curve of her back as it…

Rodarte x & Other Stories- S’ok
I’ve been meaning to check this out a while and finally got the chance to last week. I was very excited about this collaboration, by and large its one of the most perfect marriage of brands high and low as there is. I love & Other Stories. Of all the H&M labels its my favourite…

Shopping- COS Basics

I prefer the fun of H&M its more streetwise older/younger sister and the contemporary ease of &Other Stories the more casually sophisticated upmarket other sister. One day however, I…

It’s like that for me with music; not to long ago I listened, really listened to the words of…

Dresses of Summer
Tis the season, what are you wearing? Temperatures are rising and summer’s been calling. I love the summer, the recklessness of the wardrobe, the feeling of eternal fun, longer says, shorter nights, pretty sunrises and pretty dresses. Notice how people care a lot less in the summer about anything really. Don’t you just LOVE IT! Our…

Coats.
Need I say more. We are now in Autumn proper, maybe even dancing on the cusp of winter and we are in need of coats. Every season without fail I struggle to find the right coat, I know exactly how it should look like but I can never seem to find it. Its right there…

Coccinelle- A Distinguished Simplicity
My first part time job was in McDonald’s, I lasted about two weeks because even though I’m a huge foodie, working in a restaurant did not appeal to me. Especially on a busy Saturday afternoon, shout out to all the waiters and waitresses working it through rush hour saturday. Fast forward a few years later and…
