The great thing about long-ish haul flights is the chance to binge-watch TV shows or movies you might never get around to watching on terra firma. I first encountered Obit. this Summer, at the tail-end of a flight from San Francisco to the UK and, as luck would have it, I was recently able to watch the rest of it en route from Washington DC to New York.

7 Tips for Curating a Sustainable Wardrobe
Last week marked the four year anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster where a building housing 5 garment factories collapsed in Bangladesh. Over 1,000 people lost their lives with a further 2,500 people injured. In response to the disaster a collective of designers and influencers came together to launch Fashion Revolution. Now in its fourth year, Fashion Revolution week raises awareness of the human and environmental impact of the fashion industry and how we as consumers can effect change.
What It’s Really Like to Live in London
I’ve been living in London for three years now. In that time I’ve had seven jobs, lived in three different Zones with ten strangers, some of whom have become close friends. I have moved four times – twice in the last year – and once when the choice to do so was not mine.

As luck would have it my free Saturday afternoon coincided with the Opening Weekend so I headed down to, if nothing else, to pick up some new vocabulary.
New Year, New Books
At the beginning of last year I resolved, among other things, to read more and I’m happy to say it’s one of the few resolutions I’ve maintained long after the last embers of 2016 died out. Now that 2017 has rolled around my love of books has only intensified and I thought I’d share some of the titles I’m looking forward to reading with you.
My most recent job has seen the last part of my commute home take place from London’s Waterloo station, which just so happens to have a Foyles book shop. I often have around 20 minutes to spare between trains and the lure of this branch’s bookshelves is too much for me to resist.
Here are some spoils from my most recent inter-train haul.
