Welcome, hello, hi
Welcome to my online home, a space I have made as inclusive, kind and expressive as I can. All of this is a step in a new direction, from being a professional and full time fashion stylist - to now embracing the life of a creative collaborator, writer, photographer and podcaster.
My idea is to share what I feel, the words that tumble forth onto the pages, the objects I find and cherish, moments which make me stop and think, experiences which make me feel alive. And also delicious food, beautiful clothing and all kinds of music that makes me swoon.
In terms of a snappy business catch phrase - I don’t have anything which seems to fit. Over time, I’m hoping consistent threads will weave everything together so it feels cohesive. But right now, I’m not asking for a perfectly-designed plan. I’m straddling a few worlds, sitting in that uncomfortable space between clarity and uncertainty and breathing out while I write.
Let’s see where this takes us shall we…

She is...
Fragile yet unbreakable
Soft yet ferocious
Humming with energy,
yet exhausted to the core.
She walks the line
between the extremes
But most times,
she veers towards the path
she’s been told to follow
rather than the path
her heart is yearning for.
She appears delicate, ethereal, goddess-like,
swanning about with a regal air.
But behind the facade,
her mind is moving frantically to keep her alight,
atop of the mountain of to-do lists and commitments.
No one knows how furiously
she's flapping her metaphorical wings,
because all they see is her floating
through the air,
But inside,
there is a relentless roaring machine,
seeking achievement, productivity, the kicking of goals.
And it's desperately working,
frantically keeping her going.
She doesn’t realise it yet,
but
as soon as she lets go
and lets herself fall,
is the moment
her wings will appear,
the air will support her…
and she’ll become a part of the sky
without even trying,
For it’s her destiny to soar.
