It's really happening!

In case you’re on the fence about checking out my new article on the Evelyn family and their paradoxical attitudes towards contemporary dress, check out the abstract below! Or maybe I can tempt you with some of the wonderful fashion prints showing some of the wacky styles of the period

Thank you for such a wonderful comment- It really made my day! I’m so glad you enjoyed the article!

This article has been a labour of love, and I've grown very attached to the Evelyns and their eccentricities over the course of my PhD. I'm so excited to share them with you all!

I am thrilled to share my new open-access article on John Evelyn, his wife Mary, eldest daughter Mall and their complex, multifaceted relationship with clothing has been published in @historicaljnl.bsky.social

(and @amywok1.bsky.social who it wouldn’t let me tag for some reason)

I manifested this during the #SHSConf2025 pub quiz @louisebell.bsky.social

It was so so lovely! Don’t know how I’ll survive pub quizzes without you (and the rest of the dream team!)

As always, I had the best time at #SHSConf2025 ❤️ It was an amazing chance to share some of my current research and meet some wonderful scholars! Thank you to all the team at @socialhistsoc.bsky.social for facilitating such an enriching conference!

Pub Quiz Dream Team 😍

Final couple of touches to the ol' powerpoint slides for #shsconf2025 tomorrow. Come along to the Early Modern Networks: Work, Leisure, and Consumption strand to take a trip into the maritime with me, alongside print trade and fashion with @marloavidon.bsky.social and @joesaunders1.bsky.social

Absolute dream team 🤩💪

I feel as though I should also add that my team got third place in the pub quiz 💪

Had an amazing first day at #SHSConf2025 - Was so caught up in the excitement these were the only pictures I managed to take (whoops), but can confirm the Black Country Living History Museum makes the best conference venue EVER!
