Style evolution

Style, or rather, my recent lack of style, has been at the forefront of my mind a lot lately. A year spent indoors, socialising only with my boyfriend, his sister (with whom we were a support bubble), and virtually over Zoom, has meant the attention I pay to what I wear each day has dwindled exponentially.

An artistic escape

When it comes to choosing artwork for your walls, sometimes making a decision and actually committing to a particular piece can feel utterly overwhelming!
