Greetings!

What a way to start summer with all this glorious sunshine. It's inspired my interiors article on how to  create a room in your garden or patio.   

 

This month's business branding article features Tiffany & Co. and how their trademark blue is intrinsically linked to their brand identity.  

 

In the news features an article from The Guardian about the ongoing debate about girls toys and the infiltration of pink.

 

Following on from my Louboutin article last month, I thought I'd grab an interview from someone who loves her red & black shoes to find out why...  

 

And finally, Tamsin Fox-Davies, marketing expert, has put together a special offer just for my readers, for those who run your own business. 


Enjoy!
