Light Night Leeds 2019
Last week I decided to venture out and explore my city in the dark, sounds ominous, but this is no Jack the Ripper blog post. It was Light Night Leeds 2018 and they certainly upped their game from last year! Thankfully, I knew where most of the locations for the artwork was this year which certainly helped. For those of you who don’t know, Light Night Leeds is a mini art festival of light-based sculptures, digital art pieces and videography. It’s a really nice event that lets you explore parts of the city centre that you might not often venture to in order to see some pretty light displays at…

Karl Sells Chanel On The Seashore And Chanel Karl Sells Is SS19 I’m Sure
Not for a very long time has a show gripped me so much that I felt obliged to write about it. I’m serious! Yes, Chanel does have the budget of dreams, but you can see why the brand has the money it does after seeing their beautiful presentations – and this one is a whole new level of phenomenal. Chanel is known for their spectacular catwalk presentations and their Spring/Summer 2019 show completely changed the way a fashion show is presented. They built a beach inside Paris’ Grand Palais – a beach! Chanel is known for their spectacular catwalk sets and this, of course, is no different. But the luxury…

Harry Styles for Gucci Cruise 2019 – Farmyard Animals Welcome
If Harry Styles holding a chicken in a St Albans chippy wasn’t enough for you, fear not. Harry’s back again with a whole load more farmyard animals. Why? Gucci teamed up again with Harry Styles and photographer Glen Luchford to snap the Gucci Cruise 2019 tailoring campaign. For those who know me, you’ll know Harold has a place in my heart – I love his fashion decisions but I do very much miss the long hair. But I’m not here to discuss life choices, I’m here to talk about Gucci. As I said earlier, Styles previously starred in Gucci’s AW18 tailoring campaign and now he’s back again for the Cruise collection. Let’s…

Versace Sold Its Soul To A Big, Orange American. Not Trump – Michael Kors
Sweet holy hell! It’s all been kicking off this week. Fashionistas all over the world have been shedding an opulent tear this week after we lost one of the greats. Specifically, Versace.

Kors wanted to buy the ostentatious fashion house to try and rival the big European luxury conglomerates. They believe they can turn Versace into a multibillion-dollar brand. The news hit about the…

Christian Cowan x American Dad
Christian Cowan has been a designer I’ve been keeping a watchful eye on since I saw the glittery ‘pink panther’ suit that gained notoriety after it was worn by Lady Gaga. The British designer creates some fun, energetic and vibrant clothing that really brings some fun back to the fashion industry. His over-the-top runway shows caught my attention a couple of years back. His outrageous designs, beautiful tailoring and colour palettes to die for really make him a one-of-a-kind designer. Not only that, but he’s becoming a force to be reckoned with. But Christian isn’t always about creating fun sparkly clothes, he also has an eye for design and creativity.…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – I’ve Finally Bought A Sofa
Hello again my precious dumplings. If I’m being completely honest, I don’t really have too much of an update to share with you all. The house is getting there at a snail’s pace, but it’s those dull little tasks we just have to finish up. The skirting boards in the living room have been plastered so now the living room just needs the fireplace popping into place and a lick of paint. Then Bob’s your uncle and Fanny’s your aunt. However, more so than just having the house look finished, there’s one thing that’s still missing from my life – a sofa! I know, it’s one of the big bits…

Victoria Beckham’s British Vogue October 2018 Shoot Gives Us Serious Spice Girls Nostalgia
British Vogue is giving me all the feels with the little teaser they’ve given for their October 2018 issue. This year’s cover stars are the “second royal family” – that is, of course, Victoria Beckham and her clan. They’ve been the British tabloid superstars and they’ve become global megastars with a huge brand attached to their family name. Being a young child of the 90’s, the Spice Girls reigned supreme and for me, Posh was the queen. Both her and her husband, David Beckham, took the world by storm when they started dating. She was a wag’s ultimate goal and he was a wag’s wet dream – together, they made a…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – Time To Call The Professionals
I have been living in my house for about 3 months now (I think). Although we still have a long way to go, we certainly are starting to speed up the whole process now. But now it’s time to call the professionals. Don’t get me wrong, I love the journey – lol jokes, all I ever do is slag off the decorating in my other blog posts. I just want it all to be finished now! I’m craving to start buying proper furniture, get shelves, display my coffee table books, have my record player out and make the house truly feel like a home. Time to call the professionals – Let’s…

Being Blocked By Facebook – An Open Letter Of Discontent
Dear Facebook, please stop deleting, blocking and shaming creatives for trying to express themselves through their art. It seems that now more than ever, people are feeling like they have to abide by some pretty strict, stagnant and shite rules and regulations on various social media platforms. I received a 24-hour ban on my account and I had my blog post removed from Facebook for breaching rules You may remember that the image below was my previous cover photo for the 5th instalment of the ‘Adventures Of A First Time Buyer‘ series. Well, it seems Facebook doesn’t like having fun. Or showing any form of nudity that was allowed on…
