Happy Spring! How has your April been? I’m just back from three glorious weeks back home in Australia. After working so much I burned myself out (I really need to get better at this freelance life…!), it was so nice to completely switch off and not think about work or look at my phone or emails for a few weeks… View Post
Thanks to my mother, I’ve lucky to have largely been blessed with good skin genes. My naturally fair skin means that although I grew up in Australia – land of the blazing sun – I can’t tan at all (it’s always fake, I’m afraid). Instead I have spent a lifetime slathering myself in SPF and avoiding sunbaking at all costs…. View Post
Hello, and welcome back to A Girl, A Style (version 3.0)! Firstly, I should probably apologise for the accidental blogging hiatus. No sooner had I written this post about taking a break from politics and going full-time freelance and having more time to blog, than I started working as much as I ever did in government (and therefore none of… View Post
I have a confession to make: my day job and I are on a break. As most of you know, by day I work in government – well, I did… until now. I’d been happily hurtling myself full-steam along a career path for my entire working life – first in Washington (I got my start in the US Senate), and then Canberra (working… View Post
My husband (still feels so weird saying that!) has a meeting in Oxford today, so I’m tagging along so that we can make a weekend of it. I’ve been many times before, but it’s one of my favourite cities and I’m excited to be having a mini escape for a couple of days. I’m looking forward to exploring all the colleges,… View Post
We did it! As those of you who follow me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook will know, we were married a month ago today in the most beautiful ceremony at Kings College in Cambridge. So many of you sent lovely messages of congratulations and wanting to know more about the details, so whilst we wait for the photos to come back, I… View Post
Hello from Cambridge! Sincere apologies for the sporadic posting around here; this month is proving extra hectic between election campaigning (don’t forget to vote today!), wedding planning (and my inability to delegate anything), and trying to finish all my work projects in time to be be able to take a couple of weeks off to spend with friends and family (who… View Post
Hola from Spain! Apologies for the slightly delayed weekend post; I’m staying in a gorgeous villa in the remote hills of the Costa del Sol and wifi is scarce to say the least. We’re here for a week to celebrate the marriage of two of our best friends (who also happen to be our neighbours), and I couldn’t be more… View Post
Ahh, England in May; what a beautiful temptress she is. Spring is playing its usual tricks of luring us in with gloriously sunny days one week, and then – just when you’ve fallen madly in love with all those blossoms and blue skies – surprising us with frigid temperatures and blustery showers the next. All this makes knowing what to… View Post
