Why I'm loving being an Insider at Stylehunter.com

I love to write.

Especially about fashion.

I'm also getting pretty inspired by 'ol Canberra town these days. We have new boutiques, restaurants and bars a plenty and even have a so-called 'hipster' hub in Braddon that is positvely brimming with coolness.

Canberra? Cool? Ya reckon?

This would have been my reaction a few years after moving back from London, but not anymore. Nope. Canberra is inspiring me daily and our burgeoning fashion industry is most certainly taking off in the most intriguing way.

So, with all of my recent observations, you can imagine how thrilled I was when Stylehunter.com picked me to be their new fashion 'Insider' for Canberra. This was hugely exciting for me as a) Stylehunter is a bible of all things stylish and to contribute to it is a DREAM b) I can write more about what I love and c) I can share some of Canberra's newly found street-cred to a global audience.

There are insiders all across the world- from London to Sydney to New York and our role is to bring light to all the fabulously stylish goings-on in our cities.

Mission accepted!

Here are my first couple of posts if you fancy a read:

Behind the scenes...out in the wilderness.

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be chosen to collaborate with some of the most talented creatives in Canberra for a feature in 'In the City' Magazine. The shoot itself was lots of fun and the team (who I had never worked with before) were gorgeous, professional and relaxed. Not to mention crazy talented!

The photographer, Geoff Jones, is phenomenal. Really laid-back and his images are always top-notch and inspiring. The hair and makeup artist, Mary Li, is so bubbly and we hit it off straight away. She just made me laugh all day while my jaw dropped at the incredible work she was doing. I was secretly hoping she'd expertly swipe a bit of make-up my way- if ever I need an MUA, Mary's my gal.

The model, Zoe, is so beautiful it's ridiculous, with legs that seem to go on forever. Not to mention totally sweet and personable.

These guys have impressive portfolios and have worked with some of the best in the industry. It truly was a pleasure to work with them and I have a sneaky suspicion we collaborate again.

Thanks to the lovely ladies at Itrip Iskip,Wildwood, Designer Op-shop and Pela's Studio for letting me borrow your beautiful pieces for the shoot.

Hope you like! xx
