An angst-relieving anthem (or 12)
‘Life events’. Ahhh, man. Sometimes, they’re a real bitch. Thank goodness then, for running. For yoga, meditation… and music. Big, artery pumping MUSIC. Where would we be without it? Especially when superwoman stars like Sia belt out empowering stuff like, “I’m so confident, I’m unstoppable today”. And, “I sing for love, I sing for me”, “I shout…

Current love: Volcanics – Josefine Hellström Hansson
Kinda dark, definitely deep, and very much moody – give it a listen. Image: marcovilla.

I’m keeping my yoga up over Christmas. Here’s why…
It’s probably, what? Six years? Maybe even 8 (yipes!) since I last practiced yoga. Why I stopped, or at least why I left it so long, I really don’t know. Well, I do. Work. It kinda got in the way (it has a knack for that, right?). But it was really Work’s sneaky little sister, Stress, that…

More tschüss jewellery & festive packaging
Slowly, slowly I’m expanding tschüss’ collection of reclaimed sterling silver. There are a few new pieces now available n the shop and ahead of Christmas, you’ll find fresh, festive packaging – you can choose whether you’d like a stag head or barn star.

Making a stand for Garys
The Independent, The Metro, The Guardian (the list goes on) all recently reported that the UK would soon run out of ‘Garys’. The name has fast become one of the least popular today. Brooklyn-based designer Ilana Kohn has other ideas on this heading-for-extinction name though. She has bestowed it upon one of her most coveted SS15 pieces, serendipitously adding a hipper-than-hip…

Little Black Book: Workshop Brighton
I’ve walked (and jogged) past this store so many times, though until today I haven’t had the chance to stop in for a look. So glad I did. It’s like London’s Labour and Wait and Brighton’s Utility only even more minimal – think chicer all-white interpretations of the traditional indigo-edged pie dish, oversized beech chopping boards, natural linen aprons and rustic zinc plant pots. And…

Shoefingers. It’s a thing.
My dad loves shoes. Like me, and the rest of the population who’d rather eat beans for a month than forgo the thrill of new shoes, he always has. He has a distinctly “camp” side which has been well and truly nurtured by every female in the family (and I’m sure he won’t mind me…

The book is ON!
Many, many moons ago I started writing a book. In fact, I probably started contributing to it over two decades ago. And while it’s safe to say that those angst-riddled pages are unlikely to ever make it into the final cut, they’ve certainly paved the way for the story and set a tone for which it follows.…

A double dose for the soul
Today means a slow, glitchy, fuzzy return to work for many of us. So long sofa and your unlimited stash of Quality Street chocolate, hello rammed trains and overloaded to-do lists. Get yourself through the day with this duo of soothing, battery-recharging tracks. They’ll ease the transition untold amounts.
