First of all, we love Etsy. What could be better than a place that brings small business owners together, and allows them to sell their products all over the world. For many years we’ve been an advocate of buying local and from independent businesses, but Etsy has allowed us to do that with the ease […]
The millennial generation is overworked to say the least. Almost all of us have an inferiority complex, and with the constant presence of social media we can’t avoid persistently comparing ourselves to our peers. There is no easy route to any profession and the future is full of more uncertainties than ever before. As a […]
Home, a four letter word, home, something outside of a physical context— there is no direct phrase for “going home” in German, there is “gehen nach Hause” or “gehen zu Hause”, both meaning something like “going to house” but it’s more abstract than that, because lately I’ve been nach Hause gegangen to see you with […]

Following on from my previous post, I thought I’d specifically mention four fab brands whilst you continue to curb your unhealthy fast-fashion habit. Hold tight. Vintage Designer Goods: Nordic Poetry I came across one of their two shops whilst mulling around Boxpark Shoreditch last summer. Nordic Poetry is a vintage retailer which offers some gems […]
I have been (by no means) perfect when it comes to hastily purchasing a cheap outfit for that Friday night out. Although, I have recently educated myself about the fashion industry and how it has some really shady practices. With the likes of big high-street players such as H&M and Zara offering insanely affordable fashion at […]
Having reached a bit of a creative block this week I was looking for some inspirational quotes to help spark my creativity again. I know it can be a common problem for creatives to reach a level of exhaustion, or just an inability to think all together, so here is some of my favorite quotes […]
