Sophie Davies collage I love beautiful photography which is why I am becoming addicted to making and sharing photos on Instagram  (well, it keeps my Pinterest habit at bay).  I also enjoy making collages, ever since I was a teenager cutting up fashion and music magazines and creating collages of my favorite bands, movies and teen pin ups and putting them on my school notebooks and bedroom walls. I got to do this for real at college by creating mood boards for my fashion studies, and still enjoying making collages today, either the old fashion way or on the computer. There is a fantastic social design company called Casetagram  that enables you to make collages out of your Instagram  photos and turn them into a hard case for your iPhone or iPad!

The variety of baby food products can be a little overwhelming for a parent. As you stand in front of the market shelves deliberating over which type of food is best for your baby. You make important decisions about whether you buy organic or which brand has hidden sugar, salt and additives? The choice and marketing ploys can be confusing. I experienced this with my son who is now 3 years old and again with my daughter when she started moving onto solids 6 months ago. I tried to give my daughter fresh pureed vegetables and Earth's Best  jarred food; as they are an organic brand that I trust and my son loved them. But she wasn’t interested, so I tried another couple of brands and after a month or so I was starting to worry that my daughter wouldn’t enjoying eating and progress from nursing, as she was refusing the bottle. Ella's Kitchen Pouches - The Marin Scoop Food is a main event in our household, we always sit down as a family to eat together and we have brought our son up ...

I am so excited to reveal my blog’s new redesign with you today! I gave a creative brief to my friend Amy Bartle at Simple Style Solutions  who helped me by designing the new header, background and custom buttons.  As a fashion stylist and blogger, Amy understands the role that image plays in communicating a brand message . She now offers her expertise to small businesses wanting to develop their brand and expand their on-line profile through blogs, social media, free sites and practical advice on digital photography. What and who inspired you to create your business? “After taking a short break from fashion styling while I raised my son, Noah, I got into blogging as an outlet for the creativity I was missing from working on magazines. I loved the process, but learnt quite quickly that there are limitations to what you can do with very basic knowledge, so I began taking classes both on-line and at local colleges trying to fill in the gaps in my design knowledge.  One of...
