2010: Rachel’s year in Review
How fast this year has gone! I really can’t believe it. I’ve been thinking a lot about the past recently, mainly because that’s what you do at the end of the year, and I’ve been at mum and dad’s house over Christmas and that always brings back random memories. This year has been such a...
A/W10 Trends: Coveting The Coatigan
I’m not a massive fan of mash-up words… Coatigan sounds a lot like ‘labradoodle’. And if I ever hear anyone say they’ve got one, I’ll smack them in the face and say, no you’ve got a Labrador/poodle cross, not a made up pretend pedigree monstrosity.

Crispin Finn’s 2010 Wall Planner
Here’s something lovely. I first heard of Crispin Finn when Grafik Magazine gave away a copy of their 2009 wall planner, probably around the beginning of this year. It’s stayed lovingly on my wall for most of the year (I’ve lived in 3 different rooms so far this year, so it’s been up and down)...
