Fashion in Art

I had a whirlwind trip to New York last September which meant I had a chance to see all the cultural delights the city has to offer. I returned with a memory card full of photos and a head full of fashion stories which I would like to share with you here, starting with the amazing Fashion in Art tour I took at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Magic Carpets

There are magic carpets everywhere in Morocco and if you are in search of an adventure to find textiles for your home- Marrakesh is well worth a visit.

Its nearly winter solstice and day-light hours are becoming scarce with the sun beginning to set low in the sky now from 3pm onwards- its easy to see why we need the cheer of Christmas lights.

Tokyo Story

The day I arrived in Tokyo a good friend of mine emailed me to say I should embrace every moment of my adventure and sent me a Buddhist mantra “present moment, wonderful moment” to guide me on my way. I took this mantra to heart on every part of my journey around Japan

Copenhagen & Cafe Paludan

Copenhagen is all about the cosy cafe’s and strolling through the city I happened upon this beauty. It’s no gem from the outside but inside is a sumptuous world.
