Paris in a day
So because Mum and I love exhibitions, fashion and any excuse to be in Paris at the beginning of September I took a day off work and we jumped on the Eurostar for the day. Our main mission was the Louis Vuitton exhibition at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs on the side of the Louvre … Continue reading
A very British Birthday
So in May it was my 23rd birthday and in a shock departure for the weather we have been having it was actually a sunny weekend! Luckily in my first year of properly working my birthday fell on a Saturday which meant I could fully enjoy it. After a leisurely breakfast of pastries and presents … Continue reading
The British Manufacturing Trend
Publicity gained by efforts such as the Mary Portas Kinky Knickers is really good for giving PR to the British manufacturing world and making the general public aware that we can still manufacture here but I worry what will happen once the trend dies down. The country is very patriotic at the moment following the … Continue reading
A Valentines day in Paris
Please don’t stop reading if you think this is going to be some soppy write up of a romantic trip to Paris because its not. Yes I was in Paris on valentines day but alas there for work. The second week of February sees Paris hold the biggest fabric and trim trade fair in Europe, … Continue reading

When nothing appears … Continue reading

Part of this yearn to be creative may be because I’ve now settled back into the daily commute to London and working 9.30-6 and I’m … Continue reading
I haven’t fallen down a hole…..honest!
So all has been a deathly quiet on the blog front recently. Mainly because I have just completed my first month in my first proper job following uni! I have now signed my contract and am officially a Fabric Development Assistant for a luxury womenswear brand based in London. I’m not going to say who … Continue reading
A love letter to Paris
It may seem a cliche to say as a lover of fashion that I love Paris but its true I do. There’s something magical about it, something you can’t quite put your finger on when you step off the eurostar. It’s not just the hustle and bustle of the city, the gorgeous architecture and the … Continue reading
A veritable treasure trove
So in my seemingly never ending quest of job hunting beams of light have begun to appear. I am beginning to interview for some really interesting roles and while looking began an internship with the delightful Love Is Boutique today. This boutique based in Tunbridge Wells is an absolute delight stocking beautiful vintage pieces and … Continue reading
