Visiting Asia was always on Mark’s bucket list for many reasons. The culture, the food (oh my god) and the amazing design. In Singapore, Maison & Objet was the perfect place to see designs from all over the world with a bit of an Asian influence. While M&O in Paris is the main hub for…
Read MoreSpringing forward with Urban Outfitters
With Christmas just a few weeks away, we’re not unfamiliar with the fact that brands are already thinking about Spring Summer 2015. It seems a little weird to be thinking about summer products in December, but it’s not as weird as the infamous ‘Christmas in July’. We were recently invited to Urban Outfitters SS15 Press…

Read MoreWinning waves
This post and it’s content has been kept wrapped up in bubble wrap and stored safely away in David’s cupboard. We didn’t want to get it out until we had moved in to the flat and now it takes pride of place on the living room wall. We’re talking about this Waves print. It’s…

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from previous Septembers it’s this; always wear comfortable shoes. With us both working at PR agencies, we know that September is always going to be a crazy month.
