BEAUTIFUL BEDLAM

Not always the easiest thing to do, talk about yourself - but here goes. I am mother and stepmother of four, wife of one, lover of wearing black and of living in colour. I have an unhealthy obsession with young adult fantasy novels, and science fiction films. I like to think of myself as a reasonably well dressed geek…... I started the website because I wanted to make sure the voices on the web continue to be varied. Age should bring wisdom (I hope) and not irrelevance. I have a great love of New Zealand fashion (especially the more deconstructed black version), and fashion in general. If you want to see more on that, you can find my other site beautiful black here. But on beautifulbedlam I indulge my love of colour and texture and all things design that catch my eye while I work as an interior designer, stylist and writer... Anya Brighouse writes about her two loves, wearing black and living in colour. She promises there will be some cross pollination...
