Twitter

Thanks to some encouragement from Kate at Turtle Doves I've joined the world of Twitter. Stepping into the unknown is a bit daunting especially for this Yorkshire lass who still calls the cinema, the Pictures! Anyway I've done it! SOUKFashionFair is my user name, if you fancy following me and finding out what's happening at SOUK.

Early to bed, early to rise....

I’m absolutely delighted with the range of amazingly talented designers and entrepreneurs I’ve booked for SOUK.

It’s now down to me to ensure that SOUK’s an enjoyable and successful day, so I’m heeding the wise words of Dr Scholl.

I Heart York

I love York! It was always my favorite place to come for a day out. Then, about ten years ago, while living in Cambridge, Alan showed me a map of the UK and asked me where I wanted to live. After about two seconds consideration, my finger landed on York! So here I am!

I didn’t think I’d ever meet anyone who loved York as much as me. Then I came across Adam & Frank, from the ethical t-shirt company, I-Heart-York.

Check out their site to see who else is showing some York Love!

For your very own I-Heart-York t-shirt, come down to SOUK on Saturday 5 March.

A Great Start!

Despite having a cold, I’ve had a great start to the New Year! I’ve stuck to all my resolutions, (well almost all of them – my cross trainer’s still dusty!) I’ve had lots of interest in SOUK, and have booked some excellent vendors, including; a clothes designer who has shown her collection at Fashion Weeks around the world and a sustainable fashion label that was shortlisted for a Marie Claire fashion award.

Keep your eye out for guest blogs from some of our fabulous retailers.

The Ulimate Monday

Like many people, most Mondays I vow to make a few changes - usually to drink less and eat healthier! However, my good intentions have gone by the wayside while I've immersed myself into the festivities, until today - the Ultimate Monday! Today I’ll be skipping my usual glass/s of wine and I’m dusting down my cross trainer!

Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing you all at SOUK.
