Nisha’s jewellery is influenced by both darkness and light; Nisha's name itself means ‘Night’ and with ‘Halo’ being synonymous with a circle of light and purity, the brand name couldn't be more apt. Her jewellery is ethereal, luminescent and light yet otherwise edgy, hedonistic and mischievous. Her creative process to fuel her jewellery designs are fully inspired by her life experiences, by nature and emotion. When you see a piece of Nisha Halo jewellery you are looking at a piece...

This year has most certainly been one hell of a rollercoaster ride and as individuals we have all had to deal with 2020 in our own personal ways. For me during lockdown I have learnt family are undoubtedly the most important factor of life. I am so grateful my dear friend Danny Lowe came and took some snaps of us during this strange time to look back on and remember how much we came together. You can see more of his Lockdown Series on my blog! Anyway, this has been a huge personal revelation as a business woman who has had a real tendency to be a workaholic often spending long hours, days,...

It was a total privilege to be working again this season for truly one of my all time favourite designers Erdem on one of my favourites shows so far for their AW 2020/2021 collection. On a team of super talented artists working under Lynsey Alexander we brought the designers vision to life using Nars Cosmetics. Backstage was full of moments of beauty and laughter all captured in these shots by Jamie Stoker for Vogue Italia. Bold stripes, florals and wallpaper prints were adorned upon long skirts, shift jackets, frills and puffed sleeves. Feminine and elegant in perfectly tailored yet exaggerated...

This one is a bit of an oldie but a goodie, throwing it back to 2018 at Saltmarshe Hall with major UK Bridal fashion houses Grace Phillips, Ian Stuart & House of Mooshki for the Belle Bridal Magazine editorial Love in Bloom. The concept behind it was to marry bridal and mother of the bride stylings with a strong 1950's vibe and a specific nod to the imitable Jackie O for the mother of the bride looks. The shoot brought classic clean styles with a touch of personality and sass together in an airy minimal setting. Meanwhilst flowery blooms brought a summery punch of colour alongside the statement...
