Read MoreOn Tuesday 10 April 2012 I attended my first Women’s Institute meeting with the Wandsworth WI. A friend let me know she had joined and it instantly stuck a cord with me as such a good thing to attend.

Read MoreToday I am off to help style and then attend my friend and manager’s Carrie’s wedding! I am very excited to help bring the vision of her day together before seeing her marry her fiancée Jon.

Read MoreMy first soundtrack is from a band called Air Traffic. I came across them when I saw them support The Pigeon Detectives at the Astoria (still so sad they tore down this great gig venue.)
