It’s October. First of all, how did that happen and second of all, this doesn’t sound good for our skin. Octoberis an odd month; not quite the light autumnal month we come to expect from September, but not as cold and dark as November. It really is the transitional month. And when we face a […]

So after studying at Bournside School & Sixth Form Centre for what seems to be an epic amount of time, I knew it was time to think about what I really wanted to do now I’m grown up (almost). I had studied every art subject possible and loved it but wasn’t sure what field within […]

When it comes to fashion trends, you can always guarantee there will be repetition. Come spring we find florals and winter is always dark, black and sprinkled with sequins.
