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…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – The Unavoidable Summer Standstill
Unless you’ve been living in a well-ventilated underground bunker without a calendar, you’ve probably realised that we’re in the peak of the summer standstill. As if by some miracle, we Brits have been blessed with some cracking sunshine. Beer gardens are full, people are sweaty and the football has been monumental. This year it seems that most knuckle-dragging turnips have been more focussed on whether or not football will be, in fact, coming home than they have been actually enjoying the weather. If there’s one thing us British folk like, it’s commenting on the weather. But World Cup Fever seemed to have gripped most of us. To be honest, I’ve…

London Fashion Week Men’s Spring/Summer 19 – #OOTD: Day 1
I didn’t really post too much from London Fashion Week Men’s, no real reason, I just didn’t. 🤷🏻♂️ I did, however, shoot quite a few polaroids this time around for my #StreetStylePolaroids project I’m slowly building up. But alas, the season was a fun one – a really bloody hot one, but a fun one all the same. Anyway, when I’d checked the weather forecast before venturing down to the big smoke, it said that it wouldn’t be too hot particularly. Unfortunately for me, my packed suitcase of clothes didn’t quite match up to how hot it actually became when I got there. Needless to say, I styled it out and made…

Are Retailers Trying To Sell ‘Gay Pride’ To The LGBT?
It’s that time of year again. “Pride Month” has minced its way back into our lives with a whole heap of rainbows and glitter. For a lot of brands, involving themselves with Gay Pride and the LGBTQ+ community is a way of showing solidarity. However, for others, it’s a great big cash cow and a chance to try and sell a whole lot of shitty ‘merch’. Am I just being a bit of a bitter queen? No. Okay, maybe just a little bit. But who can blame me – I love a good bit of kitsch tack – but not shit. Yes, it seems that being gay is now “cool”. Is that…

Paris Hilton’s 2000’s Inspired Collection Has Us Passively Claiming, “That’s Hot”
The noughties were a pretty spectacular time to be alive. A bold statement, sure, but trust me, it was a pivotal moment in pop culture. People wore skirts over denim jeans on the red carpet, Lindsey Lohan was a huge star and Footballers Wives was the greatest show on British television. There are so many iconic things the noughties gave us. Let’s start off with the year 2000, the dawn of the millennium. One of the biggest things the start of a new century gave us was the Nokia 3310. This beautiful phone gave us old-school ringtones, the hype of ‘text speak’ and of course, ‘Snake’. From here, kids having…

#StreetStylePolaroids — London Fashion Week Men’s SS19
Another season is done! I swear each one seems to come around quicker and quicker. This time I was a bit more prepared. I was ready with camera in hand and I brought more packs of film with me for the adventure. I had my trust ‘Taz Cam‘ with me and a hell of a lot of film to accompany. All I needed now was to find some interesting looking people to photograph. The #StreetStylePolaroids are back! Thankfully, London Fashion Week Men’s has an abundance of quirky and colourful characters who are more than happy to stop for a photo (especially when they see that it’s in a Polaroid format). The…

London Fashion Week Men’s SS19 — Here We Go Again!
London Fashion Week Men’s has rolled around pretty quick! It only feels like last week when I was last here in January. This year I’m wanting to commit a bit more time to my blog (as you’ve probably all been noticing) so LFWM will be the perfect way to kick off the new “me”. #StreetStylePolaroids I had quite a lot of fun last season attending menswear with my trusty ‘Taz Cam‘ polaroid camera. So this season I’m doing it all again! The camera got a lot of attention last year which was great so this year I’ve bought even more film and I plan on (hopefully) shooting even more #StreetStylePolaroids…

Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – Throw A Little Glitter On It
The groundwork has been laid and now the fun can finally begin! Well, I say fun… I’ve never felt so stressed in my life. “Why?” I hear you all beg, because trying to get the tedious but necessary jobs finished to allow me to do the fun tasks is an absolute chore. I just want to throw a little glitter on it! Anyway, I feel like I’ve rambled long enough, now I can finally talk about the fun things like decor and and bizarre trinkets. Though I moan a lot about the process, we’ve actually got a lot done – there’s still along way to go, but we’re doing good.…
