I completed this Street Survey from Models Of Diversity today. The survey asks just four questions: Would you like to see high street stores use a wider range of models in their advertising campaigns?

MoreI’m obviously having scarf/wrap moments like blondes have blonde moments this week! But who wouldn’t be seduced into eulogy by these lovely looking wraps from Anna Kantorysinska – again available on Etsy or via the Kantorysinska web site. Here’s a few more images from Etsy.
