A business founded on innovation and taking risks has instant appeal. I spoke to Isadore Tozer to find out how creating hand-made lingerie on her Grandma’s sewing machine has grown into a thriving online venture. It’s often said that it is the intangible that creates confidence in a person – a certain air of poise […]
To Mom…
For the unwavering support, laughs, fun and happiness. For always saying to live a life without regrets. For making us feel like we can do anything. For adding the little blocks along the way to help us make our dreams a reality. For your joy. For creating a limitless world. For being you. For everything. […]
The Photographers’ Gallery
A stones throw from Oxford Street, The Photographers’ Gallery is the ideal place to spend some down time. I paid £4 for a day pass and whizzed around three great exhibitions. They covered everything from the dull pain of grief in a series of images taken by Sophie Calle, to life in 1950s Britain by […]

Salvation in Noodles
Salvation in Noodles on Blackstock Road in Finsbury Park is a great choice for a delicious and affordable meal. I opted for the hot noodle salad called Bun Bo La Lot. I’m so glad I did as it was bursting with flavour. Succulent beef is wrapped in betel leaf and comes with a punch of […]

It’s also quite late and I’m definitely […]
All that glitters
My inner magpie came out at the V&A over the weekend as I walked past shiny, glittery, jewels that would take your breath away. I also loved this brilliant pair of shoes. They look like a Spice Girl platforms circa 1997, meets a glittering disco inspired ABBA boot, combined with the personality of a Harajuku Girl, […]
A leap of faith
A quick post tonight and it’s to share this picture as it completely encapsulates what it means to live in London. Opportunities are literally around every corner and if you direct energy to the things that make you happy, just watch the ripples begin to build. You can learn so much from others if you […]
The future of fashion journalism
Digital has enabled everyone to adopt a self-starter approach so give yourself a platform to write – Scarlett Conlon I took a stroll to the V&A this afternoon and I’m so glad I did. I picked up a map from reception and then noticed an event happening on Careers in Fashion and the arts. I couldn’t […]
