Come To A Marvellous Cocktail Party!

You might remember back in January I had some resolutions. If you don’t then I don’t blame you, I’ve tried to block it out too. If you do then you might remember that one of them was to try and get involved in organising some events. Well that one I’ve actually taken some action on

Radio Silence

Style Evolution – The Dark Days

Well, lots of people commented on yesterdays Style Evolution post! Not Just on the blog, but on Twitter and Facebook as well. It made me start thinking back even further. I wasn’t planning to do this post today, but I want to deal with the kind of questions it bought up (for me) while it’s

Style Evolution

I’ve been looking back through old photos. It’s amazing how many photos you take and then you hardly ever look at them again. Digital or real film they get filed away or put in boxes and you never see them again. Looking back through several years of photos in one go it occurred to me
