Maybe it’s the Jamiroquai comeback, maybe it’s my current nostalgic mood for all things 90s, but I’ve got this thing for old-skool trainers lately. I’ve had my heart set on getting a pair of bright red trainers, and had been eyeing up some Nike Cortez in a similar shade, but when I spotted a pair […]
As I get older, I tend to buy into fast-moving trends less and less. I know my basic ‘fashion formula’ (for me, this is a variation of skinny jeans, western boots and a rotation of band tee, blazer, bohemian blouse or biker jacket) and stick to it. I’m also trying to buy less, but better. […]
