Personal fashion and musings
“Where do you see yourself in 10 years’ time?” Ever been asked that infuriating question? Surely if we could all answer it without hesitation then the world would be full of fortune-tellers and none of us would have to worry about pursuing another career. Coming from someone who graduated from university nearly two years ago, [...]
‘Mint cake’ is the colour of this cashmere sweater, and the growing fondness I feel towards that refreshing description has convinced me to dedicate the title of this blog to it (I'm pretty fond of the jumper itself, too). The soft, fluffy fabric straight out of the parcel it came in enveloped me a few [...]
The stuff we could really do without always seems to happen at once. Health problems, dental emergencies, make-up running out...
