I worked with InStyle Editor Kerrie McCallum for a large chunk of my magazine life. I appointed her Editor of Shop Til You Drop back when it was a tiny magazine with a tiny staff and together, with a couple of paper clips and some sticky tape we began to turn it into the magazine it READ MORE…

Last night was the annual InStyle “Women of Style” Awards. This party is getting more and more incredible every year. It began with guests – including Miranda K, Asher, Miranda O – chauffeured to an epic warehouse location in a fleet of incredibly chic Audis. Inside the space the boundaries of the room were turned into a three dimensional city READ MORE…

It’s hard getting dressed for cocktail events in winter. Everything’s actually harder in winter – except staying in bed. Yesterday was a black or bust day for me. Couldn’t manage colour.
