I am a northern writer living in East London with a bacon sandwich addiction. After starting out a (rather dull if I’m honest) business magazine I worked at Elle for four years before going feral, I mean freelance and sharing my thoughts on fashion, arts and lifestyle for the likes of Harper’s Bazaar, The Guardian, Stella, Nylon and Stylist. I’m a contributing editor at NET-A-PORTER.COM and my first book The Still Single Papers was published by Mainstream in June 2012. It’s a memoir about my ridiculous dating life that ‘Makes Bridget Jones’s Diary read like a Saga Holidays brochure’ apparently.
