By Chance?

Did you ever meet someone by chance and realise by the end of conversation that the meeting was not by chance at all! Well that is what happened to me last week when I met a lovely girl called Lorna Ruane , PHD fashion student and fashion blogger with her blog LC’s Closet. I was discussing a project with another lovely stylist and Lorna heard us talking “all things fashion” and politely asked did she mind offering her take on what we were discussing. I happily agreed and we had an amazing chat about the industry in general and Lorna has since then given me great knowledgeable feedback from her perspective.

Lorna is all set for her travels to New York next week, I have a feeling myself and Lorna will cross paths again in the future, but in the meantime I would like to wish her all the best and hope she will find her “Carrie Bradshaw” moment in the City of Dreams….

Best of luck Lorna
