A little birdy told me recently that the sixteen-year-old birthday parties of today have blown up like Ben Hur. The interesting fact to this though, is that it's not actually the teenager who wants such an extravagant, overblown occasion. Do you believe it's in fact their mother who is trying to compete with other mothers […]

Love is the biggest emotion in one's life, the perfect antidote to true happiness. Even though many people believe they can do without love in their lives, I think they're just putting it on. Everyone wants to be loved and be in love. To be loved not only in a companionship way but an everything […]

The generation these days might not help each other in a humanitarian way at times but definitely in a materialist fashion way. Fashion for past generations was classified as an extravagant item to buy and very expensive. It was very rare for a teenager to be able to afford a high fashion item to have […]

Are short cuts in fashion worth it? Years ago, my partner, cousin & I were invited to a close friends 30th birthday. I had been working all day, so by the time I got home from work, I was absolutely wrecked. I had minimal time to get ready, yes I know story of my life […]

Have you ever met someone and they have made you wait to the point where you're sick of their absolute empty promises. So many people including men I might add, have in fact been stood up. I remember meeting a guy while on holiday in China and he appeared to be so into me, not […]

Does fashion need to be expensive? While walking into my local 24hr Kmart, with my Koumbara ( I christened her son, that's what we Greeks call it)... I look around & realise how updated their home, fashion & beauty departments have become. I also notice that everything is so damn cheap! Anyhow, we walk around […]

Should fashion be followed? Working in retail you meet so many interesting people. Yesterday I met a lady, who was quite conservative, well established and somewhat prim & proper. Shopping with her fourteen year old daughter, who was looking for a pair of shoes to go with a pair of Topshop culottes. While ringing up […]

What is your most treasured item? I spoke to a man yesterday and we both thought about this question. He being a hairdresser couldn't think of an answer straight away, I said "it could be anything that symbolises an event, a memory or a moment which makes you feel good". He then said "My Ghd […]

So when I was twelve, grade six seemed so grown up & old. My main passion was to write in a fashion magazine, in those years that's where the supermodels got discovered. You were either an Elle, a Cindy (my favourite) a Naomi and lastly a Linda. Bringing a Cleo magazine to school was so […]

When you meet someone for the first time your initial thought is to look at them in order to greet them but the one thing that stands out to you more than anything about them is their scent. It defines who they are and what they're trying to say about themselves. The person's character comes […]

I remember Alicia Silverstone in the movie Clueless (1995) proclaiming "You see how picky I am about my shoes, and those only go on my feet". Well this justifies the belief that shoes are the most important fashion accessory known to wo/man, and that without them we would damage our most precious possession, our tootsies. […]
