In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

365 photos – it starts here

January 1, 2013 By Ellen

On a whim, I’ve decided to post a photo every day this year. I’m not going to aim for magnificent composition or touched-up loveliness, just a snap that tells a story. There may be words, there may not. It might even be a screen grab. The only rule is that there will be one taken and […]

Ready for a new year – did we leave anyone in the old one?

December 31, 2012 By Ellen

A cup of sentiment and some ill-thought-out resolutions. Another new year is nearly upon us. Are you ready? Doesn’t really matter – the Bells will chime whether you put your head under the pillow or elbow your way to the front of the crowd. We’re moving into 2013, one way or the other. Only we can’t all […]

Just when you think you’ve got a plan…

How to fail at fashion and social media all at once…

December 21, 2012 By Ellen

A bit of a turkey Earlier this week I had an interview for some work… something interesting that would slot nicely into the portfolio career. I was all organised – I’d read as much background as I could find, printed out CVs as requested, put on makeup and dressed as a grown up. A bit like a […]

Hurry, hurry only a few hours to grab the perfect pant

December 20, 2012 By Ellen

Are you still struggling for inspiration for the man in your life? Not socks again, for pity’s sake. And nothing hobby related because you know it’s not really what he wants.As you know I rail against sweeping sexist generalisations such as “men are rubbish” or “boys are smelly”.However, here’s one I have found – over many […]
