Over the last few months, I have been very fortunate to have gained interest from a number of magazines.After being approached by Elle, this triggered Vogue and Tatler magazine to ask whether I'd be interested in advertising with them also... Of course I said yes! I was and still am very flattered, to the point where I am of course going to keep cut outs (possibly even frame them..).Another exciting bit of news is that this week a collaboration with Your Coffee Break magazine was published. Being asked questions about myself and my brand made what I'm doing now seem even more real. The questions got me thinking about my childhood, and how being creative really did shape...
I may be writing this while it's pouring down outside WITH gales!? But summer is sneaking up on us ever so quickly, so it's that time of year to bring out our pretty prints and lace like fabrics for when we do have the right season. If you're like me, I like to update my wardrobe with a couple of statement pieces, but incorporate what I already have to create new looks. And you can do that with accessories too. At the moment I'm loving using a statement scarf as a neck tie or bow. I have been using the pocket squares to create the same look- they look just as 'chic', with minimum effort. A statement scarf can reform...
It's nearly Easter, already!?
Christmas really doesn't seem that long ago, but with a 15% discount on all products, hopefully this'll be a good enough excuse to treat yourself this Spring!

Not sure whether it's just myself that breaks the mould, but unfortunately multi-tasking definitely isn't my forte!So it's about time I gave my eyes a change of scenery.A couple of months ago, my application for a stall at the Christmas Market was successful! I have an amazing opportunity to showcase my products from the 13th November to the 17th at The Hayes, Cardiff. I'm so excited to be at the core of such a Christmasy experience. Although, I'm not sure whether I'm more excited to be near the sugary, cinnamonny nut and mulled wine guys.. I will try...
Being an indecisive individual means that making patterns can be a lengthy process at times, there are just so many combinations of compositions and colours to be used- the pattern possibilities are endless! But when one comes together unplanned, it can be one of the most exciting surprises.Late one evening, around 11 o'clock (a time I'm sure most creative people would agree is the most lethal/best time for ideas), I decided to doodle in my sketchbook from objects that were close to hand in my room. One of those objects being from a pair of earrings my late Nanny Peg had given to me as she no longer wanted them. They were just too pretty not to...
