Future Retro: Blade Runner as Fashion Inspiration

In just a few weeks time it will be May. I know, shocking, huh? It’s funny how I go through periods of having next to nothing to do, and then suddenly everything comes along at once. Well, May is shaping up to be one of those months. One of the things that happens in May

What Are You Wearing? Black and White and Red and Blue

It’s a Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK. I hear Americans have to go back to work, so if you’re American, I’m sorry. For me, however, I have a day of boot fairs and relaxing pampering baths with Lush Bath Bombs planned in order to make myself feel like a Princess when we return
