It's taken us 3 years to organise our breakfast/lunch and it was worth the texting and messages inbetween. this is a woman you want to keep a lookout for folks she's been featured in many adverts and getting ready for appearances in dramas!

A wonderful storyteller I was mesmerised listening to Yvonnes's screen plays and the characters portrayed, a one woman show in the making, I know the other people in the restaurant were also caught up in the story as it was so quiet. I felt we were listening to a live radio show.

I said I would post this as a reminder for to share at least one of her stories on Linkedin, now it's out there Yvonne and you can't back out😀 Seriously folks this is one of those you saw her here first moments. I am already picking out fabrics for her red carpet moments!

I've been busy crocheting away getting ready to attend some pop-up events with the Baker Boy Hats and Faux Fur Scarves. They are now part of my collection accessories added into the mix.

It's so exciting with a few butterflies in my stomach for good measure🤣 and to think the hats started out as a way to take my mind off work, but they are so lovely to make and wear.

I've made them in a variety of colours and wool textures, sold 3 already, which makes me smile as its all been this was not what I was planning to do, and yet here I am!

It just goes to show, provided you are open to explore new avenues doors open!

Alterations come in all forms lately and this one is no exception, however the faux fur gets everywhere!!

The client could be Santa so have you been naughty or nice🤭!!

I am still getting my head around that it's Christmas next week. I don't know about you but I am looking forward to a holiday rest, and make sure you plan for the same!!

I will keep you posted as to the finished results meanwhile, continue to enjoy.

Forgotten Fashionistas is a project dear to my heart, it represents legacy and remembering remarkable black women within the fashion industry. It is an honour for me to represent some of these women (there are still more stories to be shared) thank you to The Voice, for more information, click on the link.

Black female fashion designers broke barriers, dressed first ladies, and created enduring work — yet history has kept them in the shadows

Taking time out to put myself in the frame, jersey two-piece teal dress with black contrast. Accompanied by my 'baker boy hat' (my mum taught me to crochet as a child) and its now been revised with the help of Crochet Queen Sue Fuller from an expert in crochet, I will have more to share about her work.

This mini video was designed by the gorgeous thank you Gary💋💖

Styling in my opinion is how you put a look together, the colours, pattern, detailing, and yes footwear! On Friday I attended a event and my beady eye spotted a couple of pieces that tick the boxes of styling whilst effortlessly chic as worn by Claire Pritchard from .

Forgotten Fashionistas is my passion project, I have been presenting talks and workshops in Greenwich sharing the stories of amazing black female fashion designers who are often a footnote in the world of fashion, and sometimes not even that!

With the support of thevoicenewspaper I was commissioned to write an article with my discoveries which is now available for you all to read. I will give you a little snippet one of the designers is currently 105 years old Ethel Kerr who staged fashion shows in the UK and abroad.

I continue to collect the stories of these formidable women on whose shoulders I proudly stand, so if you also know of black female fashion designers whose voices and stories need to be shared drop me an email at [email protected].

Don't forget to buy your copy of the October issue of The Voice Newspaper.

This was my view yesterday evening from the 29th floor at a wonderful networking event to celebrate cultural diversity and Black History Month, the wine and canapes were being devoured, there was laughter, drumming and a mini congo line🤣🤣 all good fun as people joined in.

As I took time out standing in front of this massive window I could see for miles; the view was spectacular however, I didn't have the full picture as I was only viewing from one side of the building. I was thinking how we can use this analogy for living, enjoying the view in front of us, without having to know the bigger picture as that will take care of itself...🤔
