Colleges, Coffee and Coxes: A weekend in Oxford

A weekend away can do wonders. I have had a few not so great weeks and desperately needed some time away from London. Don’t get me wrong I love London and could not ask for a greater place to live but sometimes, very occasionally, I need to leave London and breathe some fresh English country side air.

Do you know how to reel? The University Lodges' Ball

Its been nearly two weeks now that a group of my friends and I went to the University Lodges' Ball and I thought it was about time I blogged about it. Not just because it was a fantastic night but also because it is an event that, if it ever happens again, I would strongly recommend you go to.

Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore – A review

Today turned out to be a rather nice winter Sunday in London. I love doing something a bit cultural on a Sunday and Somerset House just by Covent Garden is one of my favourite destinations for exact such an occasion on a Sunday. This weekend I went to see the Isabella Blow exhibition with my friend Suz. 

If you grew up and live in England and love fashion then you have most likely heard of the legendary Isabella Blow.

Would you like an Espresso Martini with your Haircut? The magic of Taylor Taylor

Finding the perfect hairdresser is a nightmare. Getting someone to cut and/or colour your hair requires a certain level of trust and chemistry. If you hairdresser fails to understand what you are asking them then there is only one end to the story: a Hairtrostophe. 

The LFW Diaries: Day 1 & 2

I am currently at London Fashion Week working for XO Magazine and love it. It is mental, it is manic and I am shattered after only 2 days but it has been worth it. You can read all my blogs and watch the shows on the site. Its been such a pleasure working with the team and doing LFW this season has just made me want to do more. 

2 more sleeps till London Fashion Week

There is an odd sensation running through my body when I think of Friday. It is my last day at my current job but also the first day of London Fashion Week.

Tickets have been finding their way into my mailbox (both real and virtual) and I couldn't be more excited!

I will be live blogging and tweeting throughout and try and show you a day (or weekend) in the life of a Fashion Journalist.

Welcoming B. back into my life: Being Emotionally attached or why we should invest in timeless pieces

September 3^rd was the day when B and I first laid eyes on each other. It was love at first sight. Instant spark. Undeniable chemistry. Made for each other. Since then, B and I have been inseparable. He is soft and warm; comforting. He has been there for me when I needed him. The few days that we have been separated have been miserable. I felt naked without him in my life.

From A Fashion Journalist Point of View: Men’s Fashion Week – Is Fashion getting too ridiculous?

So, London Collections: Men happened. It was my first time doing the shows and hence I had to immerse myself into unknown territory, also known as menswear. While I also had jitters having to face the shows without any support (my lovely friend Rachel who usually comes with me is on a 3 month holiday in East Asia to find herself!) it was more the thought of finding words to review clothes that I will never find myself wearing and while I do appreciate a beautiful and well-fitted suit that is roughly where my knowledge of menswear ends.
