Sally Harper – Fashion’s sharpest Milliner.
Unless you have been residing on the moon, you couldn’t fail to notice that a bare head is seriously under-dressed. Hats, headpieces, headbands and fascinators- all of these items are having a bit of a style moment. Dita Von Teese favours the 1940s ‘black widow’ veiled looks, Kate Middleton has a neat collection of fascinators, Paloma Faith accessorises most of her outfits with some variety of headgear, whilst Kate Moss has modelled all varieties, from straw boaters at rock star weddings, stylish Trilby’s at summer festivals, to Minnie Mouse style headbands at Disneyland.

We’ve seemed to have unanimously come to agree that fashion has a 20-year trend cycle, and with culture evolving faster each year what was cool in the 70’s became hot in the 90’s and is…

Emma Case – Wedding photographs without the cheese
I love weddings, but, let’s be honest, wedding photographs can be really cheesy! You have the bride and groom, arms entwined as they drink from champagne flutes. Or the ones with the happy faces superimposed onto conjoined wedding rings, and don’t even get me started on the wistful bride staring out of a window, looking for her handsome groom. These pictures can often make even the most romantic soul gag. So we need to thank heaven for the wonderful work of photographer Emma Case. Emma is a Birmingham based photographer, who looks to the ghosts of weddings past for vintage inspiration. I was lucky enough to meet Emma ( and…

Why You Should Opt For A Shower
I love to take a bath as a way to relax, unwind and basically shake off the day. Having a bath is one of my fave ways to pass the time, but that doesn’t mean I wont wax lyrical in support of showers. Showers are the best place to exfoliate, they invigorate and give you the perfect wake up call to start your day. They are the best option if you are short on time, and leave you feeling much cleaner than a bath ever could. In light of this, today’s post is firmly in support of the shower and some of the stylish shower options that you can have…
