This last week, I’ve realised I’m a walking contradiction. As you’ll probably already know, London Fashion Week just happened. Again. I really, really love clothes. I adore fashion, past and present. I delight in trend. I have friends and acquaintances who are involved in LFW – as designers, writers, PRs, models and dressers. But there’s […]

Oh, X Factor. Another year, another round of merciless auditions, boot camping and all that jazz. Well, not strictly jazz of course.

My inaugural post comes at you the day following the Royal Wedding. I’m at odds with myself for this because I’m a firm believer in refraining from acting while in the throes of emotion. In fact, that’s precisely why I didn’t write this yesterday. But when I speak of emotion, and mine therein, I’m not […]
