Fashion Writing and styling took me by storm last year when I began writing for Yen Magazine online. Since then it has grown from a passion to a serious career path, as a freelance writer, stylist and contributor to Yen and Up magazine and now the wonderful and artistic Tangent magazine.

Fashion seeped into my veins somewhere between wanting to save the whales and be a professional cheerleader and it is still pumping away strongly. I am constantly amazed and inspired by the sheer genius of both the Australian and International industries and live to transpose that feeling into equally emotive words and images.

My childhood wardrobe, reminiscent of a princess, consisted of pink dresses and big bows and one particular candy stripe dress to which I was exceptionally attached. If it wasn’t pink I didn’t want to know about it. I was happiest skipping along in a pink in tartan skirt I fondly named my grandma skirt and my floral dock martins, which I secretly wish still fitted me. Jeans were an absent item, deemed too boyish, until I was twelve when I discovered the ever fashionable trend of a pair of worn looking levis.

To this day I am still a girlie girl at heart. I am particular about what I wear and love a good one off or a great vintage find that will set me apart from the crowd. The bows have been replaced by statement earrings and the dock martins have mainly given way to bold heels but that is the secret of great fashion. Boots turn into heels and dresses turn into jeans and a great tee with a leather jacket, it doesn’t matter because style is identity and it is whatever we want to be. My Tangent is still a great dress but time has bought me the ability to be fearless within this Tangent.
