Style

A year ago I would have said I was in to fashion. But now? Not so much.

I like clothes and I like to change how I present myself. I like to dress up.  I follow the catwalk shows at the fashion weeks that take place in the Autumn and Spring.

I hate the effect of cynical mass marketing aimed at women but absolutely love the fashion houses brand campaigns and looking through Vogue or Elle for new ideas.

I suppose I’m talking about the difference between fashion and style – loving clothes but opting out of the purchasing cycle dictated to you. This is about wearing clothes you love, that make you feel amazing and express your personality.

These are a few of the blogs that provide the inspiration:
