When it was first pointed out to me that I have a “thing” for stripes, I protested vehemently – simply for the fact that I hate to be predictable. And yet take me out of my quirky routines in any way and I am like an ant dusted with talc powder, hopelessly lost to my [...]

Crazy catwalk time again and I’m again wondering why I’m in my pyjamas in my studio, when clearly I should be front row somewhere far far away and much more glamorous.

Well suffice to say, a person could spend their entire life watching other [...]

Don’t you just love people who are like walking quote books? I love them from afar, like Karl Lagerfeld, and even better up close, like my friend Anne, in whose company I panic if I am without a notebook to scribble down said quotes.
Just last week over coffee I was dribbling on about “figuring it [...]

Given that I became Aunty Angie at the age of 6, it’s not all that surprising that the younger generation have lapped me in the reproductive race – Particularly since my eggs’ reserve light is now flashing and I still haven’t moved on that one. However, I really can’t help feeling a little left behind. [...]
