semple
I find it so easy to sit with our clients and help design them a Semple dress and yet when it came to designing my own, I went blank! I suddenly felt this flush of pressure to design THE ‘perfect dress’ but then it dawned on me that this is how our clients feel when...

hashtag
I am fascinated with how four lines, that once denoted a number now symbolise a campaign, a protest, a call to action.

Even growing up, there were the popular and pretty girls at school, surrounded by puppy dog-eyed boys and envious stares. At...

Who do you turn to when you have a problem or an issue you need advice with? Do you ponder it over yourself and shy away from troubling others with it? Do you talk it over with your other half, or reap the benefits of your parents’ wisdom to determine the best course of action?...

Following a lovely visit to the North Norfolk town of Holt last weekend, it got me thinking about the beauty of local and independent shops. We are wholeheartedly spoilt here, not only in this region, but all over the UK. From family-owned bakeries and independent cafés to wild and remote garden centres and unique boutiques, there is...
