I particularly adored The Magician's Nephew. I loved the idea of climbing into another world, although living in a 1980s house didn't lend itself very well to expansive attic spaces or cavernous antique wardrobes.

Speaking of wardrobes, I was as invested in their contents as the fantastical worlds to which they could provide time-travelling portals – specifically, fashion. In 2008, I completed my B.A. Hons in English Literature at the University of Warwick, having spent every university holiday nestled in the fashion cupboards of Vogue, the Guardian, Harper's Bazaar, WWD and Elle.

After starting my career in online journalism, I joined Net-a-Porter.com, where I ended up becoming Social Media Editor. In this newly created role, I travelled extensively, tweeted furiously, and spent an awful lot of time writing about beautiful clothes and beautiful people.

Afterwards, I stepped into the red-soled role of Social Media Editor at Christian Louboutin, where I grew the brand to one million Instagram followers, oversaw the designer's launch on Chinese social media, and accumulated some very lovely shoes that still occupy a disproportionately large part of my home.

I worked as Fashion Editor at Marie Claire and Features Editor at MatchesFashion.com – roles that saw me commissioning some of my favourite writers, writing about style and culture, and interviewing people including Tolu Coker, Zandra Rhodes, and Virgil Abloh.
