It always seems somewhat premature to talk about autumn fashion when we’re not even in the middle of August. It seems that as soon as the schools break up, we’re all thinking about September and those “back to work” blues just around the corner, which means autumn is well and truly on its way. While...

Growing up, I always enjoyed watching Groundhog Day. The story of a somewhat cynical man who relives the same day, over and over, when he visits the small town of Punxsutawney.

Whilst neutrals – think creams, browns, beige and tans – have been having a bit of a sartorial moment recently, prints have also been taking up shop fronts, magazine best buys and Instagram feeds too. From the perennially popular Breton stripe – always an enduring summer favourite – to the polka dot and millennial slogans,...

Style is so incredibly subjective, isn’t it? Much like our love for art, films and movies, but these can’t always be seen. Style is a first impression. Even before we speak, listen or make eye contact. Sometimes it is the only impression. I still think about a look or outfit I may have seen someone...

Having just had a week off from work, it’s made me realise something. I like to be busy. At least, I like to be busy on my terms. I don’t necessarily enjoy it when I have lots of places to visit, or lots of jobs to get completed at work, but if there are odd...
