Me

I’m Katie Portman, a Yorkshire based writer / freelancer, appreciator of all things stylish and a lover of life and it’s many adventures.

I’m a feminist who likes men and I’m on a bit of a mission to make more women feel good about themselves. I’ve also recently become a besotted Mum to my beautiful little girl, Elsie Florence.

The Pout

I’ve no idea how my pout came to be. My sister and husband were the first to really notice that I often pout without realising. Apparently I even do it whilst putting on mascara!

I never pout seriously, only unconsciously or for fun. Over the years, my pout has become something of a legend among my nearest and dearest and has even received fame and recognition in it’s own right! Yes folks, I recently won a ‘most luscious lips in Yorkshire’ competition.

The Heels

I’ve always been in love with heels. When I was 16,  I injured my foot and had to face the unthinkable – that I’d have to wear flat shoes to school. Safe to say, it wasn’t one of my better days.

My love for high heels intensified when I became the Editor of Out On A Limb Magazine – a publication ALL about shoes. It was a dream job and only served to remind me that life is just oh so more fabulous in a pair of heels.

To this day, I remain convinced that they are better for my feet, my happiness and wellbeing. Yes, I do sometimes wear flats, but mostly begrudgingly and only when needs must. For me, heels will ALWAYS be, my footwear of choice.
