I knew the feature was coming out, so I ran into WHSmith's in Waterloo station on my way home, I ran over to the magazine stand - my eyes scanning for Women's Own!
I was so happy to see the Lilac Scrunchie Earrings amongst an array of big time retailers! Little Custard Cloth next to Zara, H&M and The White Company!

For International Women's Day this year 15% off sale profits will be donated to Dress for Success 'We provide each client with professional attire to secure employment'I found out about this amazing cause when I was out of a job end 2019.

Georgia from You sent me the questions whilst I was in New York, that definitely helped my buzz whilst out there! The flight home I settled in and started to write out my answers, it was cathartic to reflect on 'why I started', something I think every business owner should remind themselves of - especially in the challenging times! When asked about a 'typical day', again, another reminder of how running a small business gives you variety, sometimes (maybe a lot of the time) I don't know what I'm doing that day but it keeps it interesting! And for future plans,...
