It’s a new month, so there’s load of new predictions on how our world is going to twist and turn. I am a huge fan of astrology and always read my horoscopes, a little like brushing my teeth! Ever since I was a small child the effects of the moon were very noticeable on me [...]

As worn in the Cybèle show, savoured previously. They remind me of American Indian headresses. You want them, I want them. I’m sure there’s enough room in both our wardrobes!

I’m not sure whether Polaroid film is coming or going! The internet seems to be swirling with rumours every day about the demise or resurrection of the glorious little instant chemical packets..

After a day-job overload, I’ve been away resting at a friend’s beach house in the Coromandel. Strictly no internet or communication with the wider world! I spent a lovely few days exploring, walking, laughing, stretching with my friends. We paddled in rivers and made delicious pizzas.
