Under the Sea

As someone with pale skin I can tell you that coral and gold have never been my friend. The closest contact I generally have with members of the orange family is enjoying a citrus capilo on a hot summer day. But add in a splash of navy and a scattering of sparkling shells and suddenly I'm more than happy to indulge!

Jeepers Creepers!

Ok, so I know creepers have been back in fashion for a while now but my lust for them is still going strong...

Personal Illustration

I think it was cemented when I saw Fam Irvoll's show at London Fashion Week. Colourful creepers stomped down the catwalk paired with monstermash prints and opaque tights in pastel hues, it was the perfect mix up of sickly sweet and super cool.

Space travel's in my blood

Today I'm ignoring the rain and dreaming of rockets, satellites and the milky way. Dress up in space prints and head to the stars!
