In Episode 2 of Season 14, I chat with Emma Clegg and Molly Rogers — occupational therapists turned fashion entrepreneurs — who are challenging what it means to dress with purpose. As co-founders of JAM the Label, they’re helping to reshape the narrative around disability, dignity, and personal style through one of Australia’s most exciting adaptive fashion brands.
From Emma’s love of timeless, practical staples to Molly’s playful flair for colour and print, JAM bridges their differences — and in doing so, creates clothing that brings choice, agency and joy to people who have long been left out of the fashion conversation.
We explore how their work helps people with disability reclaim confidence and connection, how personal style shows up in the smallest of details, and how thoughtful design can do more than just look good — it can change lives.
As a Sydney personal stylist, these are exactly the kinds of stories I love to share — where fashion becomes more than a trend, but a tool for self-expression and empowerment.
What We Cover:
– The story behind JAM the Label
– How Emma and Molly’s personalities shape their designs
– The emotional power of feeling well-dressed
– Challenges and misconceptions around adaptive fashion
– What it means to lead with empathy — in business and in style

What if power dressing wasn’t about commanding the room with a shoulder pad… but with your presence?
In this episode of Style Stories: Styled By Me, I share the journey of my client Rachel — a powerhouse in the corporate world whose wardrobe just hadn’t caught up with her current self.
Together, we didn’t reinvent her. We refined her — strategically weaving in colour, confidence, and a quiet edge that now speaks volumes before she even says a word.
From cool blues that say “trust me,” to bold reds that close deals — this episode is a reminder that the most powerful wardrobe isn’t always the loudest. It’s the one that reflects you.
✨ Because when your style truly aligns with your story, the results shine for both you and me.
In this episode, we explore:
Why a “good” wardrobe isn’t always a true wardrobe
The psychology of colour in power dressing
How confidence and cohesion can elevate your presence
The difference between wearing clothes and letting them speak with you
Ready to step into your own shine?I offer a complimentary 15-minute style consultation to explore how we can refine your look and reconnect you to the power already within.
Whether you're looking for a wardrobe refresh, a signature style, or a fresh perspective — my approach is personal, perceptive, and entirely tailored to you.

In Episode 1 of Season 14, I chat with Helen Rydge — clinical psychologist, vintage enthusiast, and softly defiant dresser - whose wardrobe tells the story of a woman who grew into herself after becoming a mother. While others may have retreated, Helen emerged more fully. No longer dressing to blend in to the crowd, Helen dresses to honour the creative, curious, and caring components of herself.
Through our chat, Helen shares how fashion can be an anchor — for identity, for confidence, and for connection. And how sometimes, the most powerful thing you can wear is something entirely for you.
I hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy listening to Helen's story.
If Helen’s story inspires you to reconnect with your personal style, I’m offering 15 complimentary style consultations for Style Stories listeners. Whether you’re rediscovering who you are or simply ready for a wardrobe refresh, I’d love to help you get dressed with more confidence and intention.

In Episode 8 of Season 13, I chat with Rabie Mtanos, founder of luxury Sydney-based tailoring service, Soraya Tailoring. Rabie’s exacting eye and unwavering commitment to quality are not only the hallmarks of his business but have also shaped his dapper yet distinctive style. One to like quality and something a little bit different, the values of Rabie’s business reflect the man himself: passionate about delivering exceptional service and distinguished through excellence.

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nat Thaipun, who we may know as the winner of this season's MasterChef, but to her friends, she's Nat Wolf. Wolf like in adventure, energy and passion, Nat and I go deep. And as we peel back the layers to her story, we find this stealth strength is actually a mechanism for finding purpose. Cooking may have now centred her, but Nat still doesn't mind living life on a knife's edge. And her ambitious live large approach has given her the tools to creatively curate diverse cultural cues and masterfully turn them into something modern and visionary. Whether it's her love for vintage fashion, crafting a kangaroo lab or an array of meaningful tattoos, it's Nat's style to honour history for both her story and others, but keep it contemporary and always make it cute.

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nina Treffkorn, co-director of Sydney contemporary art gallery, China Heights. Born to Buddhist parents that moved from a German commune to a conservative catholic small town in Ireland where she was raised, it’s fair to say Nina has become used to looking at the world from the outside in. However her move to Sydney allowed her to discover a diverse art and fashion community she could belong to, and Nina has since found her place inside. And while it’s Nina’s style to lean into a uniform look as a tool to belong she is not strictly black and white. Nina may have stood out for her height as a child but she’s learnt the value of having a unique story and style and while she finds peace is staying centred she uses her individual assets to her advantage, leading her to greater heights.
In episode 5 of season 13, I chat with Jess Brady, Financial Planner, Financially Fierce podcast host and founder of The Greenhouse Money Growing Program. Jess’ career in finance afforded her freedoms at a young age and in her compliant yet calculating ways, Jess is now on a mission to unlock the systems that keep others from accessing their own sound financial futures. Jess’ philosophy on finance is not dissimilar to fashion - tap into what’s personally important and consciously use what serves you. Whether she’s wearing second hand clothes, dressing like a farmer, or donning Gucci shoes, it’s Jess’ style to creatively use what she’s got, reward herself occasionally and always think of others.
In this freestyle episode, I discuss how to elevate your layered winter looks by focusing on the winter coat as both a utility item and a decorative item. I share my styling hacks to help elevate your layered look while still keeping you warm this winter.

In episode 4 of season 13, I chat with Katie Kaars, professional Photographer and Camera Confidence Coach. With over 175,000 followers on Instagram, Katie knows how to be seen and heard. But growing up in a household where children were taught to be seen but not heard, Katie learnt from an early age that creativity could serve as a powerful outlet for self-expression. And while her career found herself behind the lens of a camera, Katie’s style has always found a point of difference. One to enjoy a practical and pragmatic approach to both her work and her wardrobe, Katie has learnt to let go of rigidity and add more frivolity while always finding beauty in raw and authentic style.
In this freestyle episode, following from my recent tip to Tokyo, I share tips on how to apply the thinking of Japanese philosophy Wabi Sabi to our existing wardrobes.

In episode 3 of season 13, I chat with Georgie Vicars, founder of Jamoo. Like’s the label’s name suggests, Jamoo and Georgie alike are one of a kind. Inspired by the Australian coast, Jamoo is a playful pastiche of the past presenting itself in patch-worked pieces put together from a legion of repurposed towels Georgie has hunted, hoarded and handpicked. While Georgie likes to live in a moment and may still be mapping out her ensuing adventures, Jamoo stands as a reflection of her free childhood spent barefoot on the beach and sailing in the pacific paired with her care for craft and her talent for textiles. Amped up by sustainable ethics and a reverence for all things retro, the fabric of Georgie’s style and her story is one that feels bold yet benevolent, carefree but kind, and both cool and warm all at the same time.
In episode 2 of season 13, I chat with Camilla Schippa, a refreshing figure formidably marrying circular fashion practices with true social impact. A self-proclaimed migrant matriarch, Camilla is the CEO of The Social Outfit, a charitable organization whose mission is to empower refugee and new migrant women through employment and training in one fashion forward movement. Camilla’s story convinces us to think outside the square by not only understanding the power of freedom in our own self-expression but by refreshing our thinking around what real humanity in fashion can look and feel like. And while Camilla’s colourful style is not without it’s sparkle, she is the guiding light in leading a multitude of women towards their own opportunities to shine, with enough glitter and bejewelled glamour to make the whole place shimmer.
In this freestyle episode, I share tips and stylist insider knowledge on rethinking and refreshing your wardrobe. I ruminate on how to reorganise, repair, reimagine and replay with your clothes to make them work better for you. There are also tailoring hacks and my ideas on the power of visual inspiration in transforming your wardrobe.

For the first episode of the new year, I chat with Charlotte Dallison, author, writer & vintage fashion aficionado. Charlotte’s recently released book, How to be Fabulous, not only dares us to defy trends but to refresh our personal styles by diving deep into the world of pre-loved clothing. By sharing her story, Charlotte provides a gracious guide on how to think about style, including how her take on manifestation helped refresh not only her style but her story. And while she still holds on to some of the small-town sentiments of her Christchurch upbringing, her desire to be fabulous and live a big life is sending her to Hollywood where her old world glamour and “Some Like it Hot” style will offer a refreshing change to Tinseltown.
