diy inspiration: erin consadine’s alluvium necklace
I’m perpetually magpie-ing pieces and bits that I reckon I could make myself. This beautiful necklace by Erin Consadine is the latest addition to my list of things to try out if time decides to give me a breather (piglets standby for … Continue reading
nicola woods’ beautiful soul
I’m an unwavering fan of designer Nicola Woods and her label Beautiful Soul. For AW12, she was inspired by the love letters her grandmothers (Olivia and Rose) sent their sweethearts (AKA her grandfathers) during the Second World War. The poppy … Continue reading
what has summer got in store for maxi dresses?
From the disco days of the late 70s to the post-recession period of contemporary fashion, maxi dresses have lasted the test of time. Perhaps it’s because they’re like jeans (they can be dressed up or down) or possibly it’s because … Continue reading

As you probably know (if you’re in London or follow anyone on Twitter who lives in London), the weather has been outrageous. Sideways rain. Hail. A smidgeon of shine to keep us guessing. Anyway I had a haircut yesterday. Yes, … Continue reading
