Almost two decades of recipes, outfits, beauty experiments, Fashion Week, babies and internet history.
Still here, 19 years later.
Sugarlaws began in 2007 as a place for Katy to write down what she was learning to cook. Then it grew: into baking, into fashion week and beauty tutorials, into dinner parties, travel and, eventually, family life.
Almost twenty years on, it holds an enormous record of what she cooked, loved, wore, photographed and built. Some of it is timeless. Some of it is very much of its year. All of it is still here.
