PARIS- QUICK & DIRTY
If like me, you are fortunate enough to live in the UK, you can visit most countries in Europe in a day or a weekend, itinerary depending, and have a good time of it. Paris you can visit for a good few hours, quick and dirty: a coffee on arrival, an exhibition, lunch, a cocktail…

LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

Frida Kahlo- Making Her Self Up | A Little Too Personal
Even in death, we deserve a little bit of privacy, no matter how public a live we lived, there should be some things that remain unknown, even in death, especially about our most intimate moments.

Finding Frida | Frida Kahlo, The Heroine Of Her Life
Today is Friday Kahlo’s birthday and somewhere in heaven I want to believe that she and Diego finally have a shot at life together, with lots of children and happiness that eluded them in life. Frida Kahlo, a woman full of mystique, an artist full of life. For years I have followed her art and…

Oh Dior.
The Dior exhibition in Paris is quite possibly THE most beautiful thing there will ever be in fashion. The most beautiful representation of history that I have ever seen, bar none. Oh Dior. My sister and I booked plane tickets to Paris way back in the summer to see the exhibition in the winter because…
