I bloody bloody bloody love it when my readers suggest stuff for me to listen to. Most recently I've been shown in the direction of Lisa Cuthbert. a musician based in Berlin.

I've just had chance to listen to… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Lisa Cuthbert
Halloween is 61 days away. I swear I thought it was sooner. Much sooner. Probably because I'm raging with excitement for it this time around. I'm spending about 12 of the 24 hours I get in a day on Pinterest, finding worthwhile Halloween DIY projects and gathering inspo for decorating the apartment. When I'm not… Continue reading Everything You Need For Halloween At Home From Creative, Small Businesses
While winter is my favourite season, autumn is a very close second. When I was a child, and it was time for September to swing around, life would shift into another dimension and I would wake up every day feeling thrilled for what lay ahead.

Foolish woman that I am. Well, the day before… Continue reading The Magnetic Pull Of The Old : Gibbous Fashions

You can find it here. You will probably recognise several of the artists on there, i.e. Buzum, Wardruna and Agalloch,… Continue reading Wyrd Words & Effigies Spotify Playlist I
It's been hard and heavy the past couple of months. Time - of which I used to have an abundance of - to create is limited, and I've been suffering. When I don't blog, it feels like something integral to my well-being has been cut out of my life. It doesn't feel as though my… Continue reading New Beginnings Aren’t Easy, But Hell, They’re Necessary
My man, who usually has his head stuck in the early 80's when it comes to music, today decided he wanted to uncover some new BM by the female of the species.

I can remember the early days of The Church Of Sanctus, and how I knew from the get go, that it was a dark fashion label that would go from strength to strength...and I wasn't wrong! Much has happened since I interviewed the brainchild behind the label, designer Lucinda Sinclair in 2013 and she has… Continue reading Sanctus : New Collection Sciom
