Well, going back to work after the Christmas break was pretty savage. (Pretty savage? Extremely savage). Getting on my bike at some unearthly hour of the morning (morning? I think…
In my part of the world, it’s winter now, and that means COATS. ALL THE COATS. I’m slowly unpacking all the coats that I lovingly stored away when it got…
I’m BACK, guys! Did you all enjoy the husbeasts’ guest post last week? I did, and although he says that ‘he’s not very good at writing blog posts’ I actually…
Heads up: This post is a LONG one. It’s picture-heavy. It’s word-heavy. It’s everything-heavy. Turns out I had a lot to say about the making of this coat. Grab a…
Happy Sunday guys! Firstly, I’d like to say thanks to everyone who commented on last week’s post about the subscription boxes – it seems that despite their apparent popularity, people…
