The models also showcased four looks created by LCF graduate Nikki Palmer, using the Brush With Fashion palettes. After the… Read More »

Literature.

Books
November 6 2010

Last summer, while searching the shelves at WHSmith for potential summer reads, I came across a book called “The Old Girl Network“. The catchy title and beautifully illustrated cover are what drew me close. It’s a book by the author Catherine Alliott, and it’s about a young lady called Polly, who finds herself helping a stranger to find his lost love, and in the process finds love for herself. One thing I have to say is, i’m a sucker for romance, so approving very much of the synopsis, I bought it. Catherine’s writing style is just excellent! She captures the reader with… Read More »
