Mulberry & Me
After a year and a half in The Fashion Office with the lovely ladies including those from A Work in Progress, Sartoriology, Notes on the Highstreet and My New Favourite Thing, yesterday was my last day. It’s been a fun, interesting 18 months too but it’s time to move on to what will be known…

Love Thy Vintage
A few of the lovely ladies in The Fashion Office often comment on how many vintage dresses I own which made me realise quite how much of a retro hoarder i am. So as I’d previously decided to do a bit of a bank holiday wardrobe de-clutter, I thought I’d share a few of my…

London, Berlin & a detour to Russia thanks to Andrey Pushkarev
Last week I was back in Berlin and despite being sorely disappointed by the lack of European sunshine, I discovered something, or rather someone, on my final day who injected more than a few heart-warming rays into my trip. The person responsible? Russia’s finest export, minimal tech producer Andrey Pushkarev. In a controversial switch from…

Sunday Soundtrack #4: DJ Shadow – Midnight in a Perfect World
Every now and then, you hear a song that’s eerily familiar, the kind that catapults you back to the past. For me, DJ Shadow’s Midnight in a Perfect World is exactly that sort of track. It reminds me of being about 19, driving the curves and bends of Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh (with windows down,…

A Little Track Called ‘I Feel Love’
Who’d have thought that a little disco track created way back in 1977 could still be causing such a storm over thirty years later? I’m talking about Donna Summer’s amazing I Feel Love, and the best thing about it is that it only ever seems to get better with time. Unsurprisingly, there’s been countless covers, bootleg’s and…

Learning The Basics
I’ve always shied away from buying plain T-shirts and neutral vests as I saw them as well, boring. However, each summer I find myself ransacking drawer upon drawer in search of a simple top that’s both cool and stylish yet I always end up empty handed. So in light of this forever-fruitless task and because…

The Fashion Office Recommends…Novelty Songs
