Choosing a Blog Name

Picking a blog name is probably the hardest task when you go about starting a new blog. Your blog name is going to be what defines you as a blogger and what people are going to address you as from now till the end of time... well sort of.  Today I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on picking a blog name that sticks, stands out and defines your blog without restricting you or potentially embarrassing you down the line! So lets talk about me. My blog name is my name without any vowels in – It’d been my MySpace name for years and something I’d been using as a username for various websites and forums for as long as I could remember. I dont know where it came from, but it was something that just stuck. I didn’t really think too much about the name of my blog at the time as I had no idea...

Video: Tips & Tricks to buying the perfect Sofa

Yesterday I took part in my first live broadcast. Intimidating, yes. Exhilarating - absolutely! Next asked me to come and interview Will from Bright Bazaar about all things sofa related, to launch their new sofa brochure. I know it's been a while since I've written about it, but I was so happy with my Next sofa buying experience last year that I wrote a massive piece on the whole experience of buying a sofa with these guys. Naturally, this lead to dinners of discussing the whole product line and a concept was born - sofa sessions! And who better to get on the sofa first than the king of everything interiors himself - Will of Bright Bazaar.  This guy is truly legendary - on another level legendary. His books are best sellers, his blog and all social channels are followed by millions...

The suit that makes the woman

REISS BLAZER REISS trousers MARIA LAMANNA bag CHLOE sunglasses GIANVITO ROSSI shoes  Meet my latest favorite thing, the skinny suit - a true fashion week whattowear savior. It has to be worn without a bra in a true striped back, no fuss fashion, this time in oxblood, oh how I love that dramatic description. No surprise to you all that tailoring is my go-to whatever the season is, but it is an always evolving project. I think the perfect suits are the ones you discover online but experience in store as they are not the most appealing on a hanger but also a potential disaster if you don’t nail the fit. Almost all suits need a little bit of tweaking, something you learn to appreciate when you get older…(cushioning the blow of my upcoming birthday, sob) but it’s truly one of...
