My life consists of ineffectively juggling a part-time MA in History of Art; working in a beautiful shop full of tiny things; writing for blogs and magazines on art, fashion and culture; making my own clothes, accessories, cooking, baking and riding a pink and blue bike. Find me on twitter @ebsnare for gems of wit, eloquence and fabulousness. My blog is here: http://themagicsquarefoundation.wordpress.com
