Review: House Style at Chatsworth

Earlier this month, I headed to Chatsworth House with Cat for an afternoon of fashion in the most fabulous of settings.

Yesterday, I attended the private view of a new menswear exhibition at the University of Westminster called The Vanishing Art of Camouflage. You might wonder why a lingerie blogger would be interested in menswear. Well, first of all, I don't consider myself to be solely a lingerie blogger. I'm interested in writing on a number...
