I guess I've been soul searching. Three months on an eco yoga retreat and a move from one side of the world to another will do that to a girl. I never would have posted something like this in the past. But here I am. And in hindsight my fashion blog did a lot for me. It opened doors... in events, in PR, in writing, in photography, in travel. My portfolio is now something I'm proud of, built up over almost six years, and it turns out it really did stem from that first blog. In many ways I'm embarrassed about my 'personal style' of those days, but all the other things I am mighty proud of. At eighteen I was photographing a Matthew Williamson show, my favourite designer at the time, I was an ambassador for Aussie haircare, I was having my photography and editorial work published both online and in print. Today, I may not be as well known a name as I was then, my blog is no longer being nominated for awards as it once was, I haven't been interviewed, featured in magazines, or streetstyle snapped for years now...but what's resulted from that first little fashion blog is probably better.
