I’m incredibly late to the party by posting about The Uniform Project, but it deserves to have a lot of attention drawn to it.

On May 1st 2009, Sheena Matheiken pledged to wear one dress for 365 days in aid of the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots charity [...]

I’m currently attempting to beat my German blues by filling a Spotify playlist, appropriately named ‘Deutschland!’, with fun German music. No Peter Fox (GET ON IT SPOTIFY YOU MONSTERS) unfortunately, but here are a few awesome tracks you should check out :
Anyone got any recommendations of German music I should be listening to?
Forrest Gump is one of my many, many ‘I’ve never got around to seeing that one’ films – as I discovered last week, there are a LOT of classic films I haven’t seen!
But hey, we’ve all got to start somewhere, and I’ve just ticked one off the list! I’m assuming the rest of the world [...]

I just wanted to write a quick post to express my condolences for anyone involved in the Love Parade stampede that went down this weekend. It’s thoroughly bizarre to see Duisberg, a stone’s throw away from Dortmund, in the news here in the U.K, and I wish it was for something that wasn’t so sad. [...]

Language is my thing. It could be down to having had my entire education conducted through the medium of Welsh, meaning that I’ve been bilingual since about the age of 3/4, or perhaps I’m just wired in such a way that languages just appeal to me!

There aren’t many people who are more meant for each other than Sophie and Luke, not to mention that they’re both truly wonderful people whom I love to pieces! So to those of you reading this, raise a glass of whatever [...]

I’m currently translating the instructions of this top from Burda Mag’s 02/10 issue, listening to trashy German music as I go, dealing with both my German and sewing needs in one fell swoop!
Multi-tasking at its best, or a sad way to spend a Monday evening? Who cares? What’s your best multi-tasking moment?
Is that my dress on the front page of BurdaStyle? IT IS??
AWESOME.
Needless to say, I’m super excited – this is the first time I’ve ever been featured on BurdaStyle’s front page!
Despite the lack of posting of late, I’m still alive! My computer died (AGAIN) so it’s been a little difficult to get things [...]
Let me tell you : toddling around Ogmore Castle in those heels is no laughing matter… well, it is if you’re watching me do it but that’s beside the point…
This was the last ever project to come from good old Viktoria the German sewing machine! This year at the Summer Ball I wanted [...]
