frozen.





For those of you who don't already know, I am in a band called "Digital Farm Animals". If you haven't already had a listen to our cover of Madcon's "begging", check it out here


Above is our version of "Walking in the air" - originally written by Howard Blake for the animated 1982 film of childrens' book "The Snowman". This cover was born out of a festive pre-Christmas jam in Nick's bedroom which we ended up recording! 


What do you think of our take on the song?

new year.


 Coat: Zara
Trousers: Topshop
Top: Primark
Wedges: Zara



In the words of Nina Simone:

 "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me... and I am feeling good".

It sure is. 2012 is going to be good for all of us - just you wait.  A new chapter, new page, new start. I love the new year. I enjoy compiling my list of new year's resolutions and thinking about ways I can improve myself, things I want to work towards and new goals and aspirations. Ok, enough preaching S-J - more fashion.

Today I am wearing my peg leg Topshop trousers and Zara coat  teamed with my fluffy primark jumper which cost only £6.00 - what a bargain - if I say so myself. Tucked in or out this round neck jumper adds a bit of texture to a simple workwear outfit. My Zara wedges give a little height and create the illusion - note my use of the word illusion (!) - of longer legs.

Have you had any luck this Christmas? How has your bargain hunting gone?

anthropologie.




A couple of Saturdays ago, I planned to spend my afternoon mooching about the King’s Road.  I don’t tend to spend much time in this part of London so thought I might make a day out of it.    This didn’t really happen... I  ended up spending my day in Anthropologie.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the brand, Anthropologie is a Philadelphia-born brand that sells women's apparel and accessories, home furnishings, gifts and decorative items.

To say Anthropologies’ visual merchandising and store design is inspiring is an understatement. It is a visual treat filled with an array of texture and colours. Above our some photos I took during my visit. 

Have you been to Anthropologie? What are your thoughts?
