An announcement! Since having a baby last year and leaving Refinery29 I’ve been quite quiet so I would like to officially announce my new freelance life! I’ve started consulting for brands (the first being a new beautiful fashion label) and doing what I know best, or at least used to do a lot of: writing! I’ve missed it. And with that in mind, today I’m launching a Substack! I would be absolutely thrilled if you’d check it out and consider subscribing (there are both free and paid subscriptions available). It’s called Slouching Towards Bethnal Green (with apologies to JD) and you will soon find pieces and all sorts from me on everything from motherhood to style to relationships. You can read my introductory post today, which will tell you more, and we’ll be kicking things off properly tomorrow. New writing dropping weekly. Link, of course, in bio. I hope you enjoy it! Huge thanks to @farrahstorr for the encouragement and support and @rupertmurphy for my logo 🤍
