ABOUT ME

In 2015 I created this Blog as a fashion & style guide for women who care about the planet & the people who make their clothes. My fellow conscious consumers & advocates of slow, sustainable fashion.

I have a wealth of knowledge & deep love of fashion, hair styling & Make-Up that also aligns with my passion for protecting the environment. You can rest assured I’ll steer you in the right direction for style with a conscience. Subscribe for updates & read on for a brief back story of how I got here…

From a very young age I was fashion conscious

I also had a natural talent for hairdressing. I tortured my siblings mastering the art of the perfect haircut! There was never any doubt in my mind what I wanted to do.

With a British mum, Grandmother & Great Aunt I grew up listening to exciting stories about life for girls in London during the Blitz. So it was no surprise that as soon as I completed my 4 year hairdressing apprenticeship I threw on a backpack & headed for London!

At the age of just 20, I traveled all over Europe, parts of the Middle East & most of the UK, working briefly in between to finance my journey. I had an amazing time learning about different cultures & meeting all sorts of interesting people. This experience set the tone for my lifelong love of exploring our home, Earth.

After 2 years I returned to Sydney where I completed a professional Make-up Artistry course. Along with my hair styling talent I began working in television & film. It was an exciting time doing Make-up & Hair for channel 7 (among other Companies) Working for many years with some of the industries most talented actors.

When I turned 30 the lure of London was back in my thoughts & it wasn’t long before I packed up my life in Sydney & began a new one in South London.

The bulk of my work became photo shoots & magazine editorials. Once again I enjoyed an exciting career & social life meeting & working with amazing people. Now with the convenience of European travel on my doorstep I enjoyed many trips & adventures.

With a passion for design & architecture as well as fashion I can’t get enough of all things European – France, Spain, Denmark, Germany but especially Italy where I still visit every year to this day!

At 36 I met my future husband & by 38 had given birth to our first baby. I went back to work freelance in TV but soon realised I simply couldn’t leave my baby girl, Kiara.

I made the decision to be a stay at home Mum

Incidentally it’s by far the toughest job I’ve ever had & I’ve picked veg in the Negev desert!

Little did I know at the time, I was closing the book on a massive chapter of my life & beginning a new one!

By 40 my beautiful blue-eyed, baby boy Jasper had come along.

At 43 I had my water baby. Lucia the little mermaid born in a pool. Since then life has been pretty hectic to say the least. However as the years whizzed by, it became obvious I needed to get back out into the world of grown ups.

As the children are all now at school they don’t need me quite so much, well at least for a few hours during the day. For my sanity as much as business, I created this Blog.

Which brings us to why the Blog?

Aka Chapter 3 of my life…

This is where I express my love of fashion alongside my passion for Mother Earth. I come from a long line of trade unionists so advocating for people is intuitive. We’re all connected to one another & nature, what hurts one hurts all which is why it’s so important to know the source of what we buy.

Since 2015 this blog has evolved to include what I learn about the global impact of the climate crisis. As my knowledge grows, I will share with you what I learn so that we can all be activists & reverse climate catastrophe.

In 2018 my Husband and I moved our family of 5 to New Jersey. I became a professional Newborn Baby Photographer for a well established company & continued to work on the Blog.
