wardrobe
I came across a new term earlier this week that I hadn’t heard before. Normcore. It’s a modern ‘fashion’ trend that has been making waves recently and becoming more and more popular. A term said to be coined in 2013 after it appeared in K-Hole’s first issue, “Youth Mode”, it essentially means: someone who wears...

Many of us long for the summer months and yet, when they arrive, we remember that it isn’t like when we were younger. We can’t look forward to enjoying six weeks off school to make the most of the sunshine. You realise that, actually, you still have to go to work. You still have to...

heatwave
Britain is basking in beautiful sunshine. This prolonged bout of glorious weather doesn’t often hit our little island. We have the odd day here and there where the temperatures may reach the late 20s or perhaps, if we’re really lucky, the early 30s; but it tends to end almost as quickly as it arrived and...

When it comes to our wardrobes, we all have our favourite items. Those pieces that are fail-safe. That we know look good and that we can just throw on. We may have had them for years, or they may be a recent investment. It could be as simple as a plain grey t-shirt, or a...

I’ve written about the growing popularity of a capsule wardrobe before – the idea of shopping less but focusing more on quality and for some, how ethically items are made too. I think there is definitely something in this, and while I don’t think fast fashion will ever slow down, it’s important to be more...

  In a world consumed by materialism and social-media fuelled purchases, we are a proud nation of shopaholics. From the high street to charity shops and the luxury high end market, billions of pounds are spent every year in our favourite stores. And yet, I’m sure that many of us still protest – I have...

Finding your style
Growing up, I was always interested in fashion and many years on, I have continued to indulge this, together with an unhealthy obsession for street style. I always say that one of my favourite things to do is sit in a café watching the world go by and see what people around me are wearing....
