Sweet spot from high and low and shopping mid and looking very stylish. So let's get into it. Marissa, welcome to Nothing to Wear. I can't believe we haven't had you on here yet. We should have, because I am the same age as you and we've worked in magazines for so long.
But for those that don't know you, who are you? What do you do? What was your past career and what are you doing now?
Hi Link. Well, I have had quite a long career in fashion. I started probably around the same time as you in magazines when I was twenty years old. So that was twenty kind of, yeah, half my life. And we're both forty four. I'm forty-five, yeah. Yeah. So I started, you know, wanting to be a stylist, so I was taping shoes and steaming clothes for a very long time until I kind of moved up the ranks and became fashion editor of Cleo magazine.
Yeah.
I did that for a few years and I loved it, but kind of got an itch to move to digital when the blog kind of atmosphere was happening in Australia. So I was lucky enough to be the launch editor of Pop Sugar Australia. And that was kind of how I started my website career. and kind of learning the background about blogs and the momentum of what websites kind of need and it was, you know, a real learning kind of It was a big change. It was huge. It was kind of posting every hour and just getting used to that really fast cycle as opposed to magazines which were always about three months in advance. So that was awesome and I did that until I got pregnant with my first baby. And from there now,
what do you do?
After having both my children, I started to freelance and do contract work. I worked on the Grace Tales, which was a website about motherhood for a while. And then COVID hit. And so I was homeschooling two children and trying to work out my next move. And that's when I decided to launch my website. Which kind of started honestly from the school gates where I had a lot of women come up to me and ask me about where to shop, how to shop, how to s specifically shop online, because it was still quite a new and a little bit scary, that whole idea of taking shopping from retail to online. And I was always very good at it. I an early adopter of shopping online. And I just thought I better make something of this, and I tried my hand at creating a website.
And here you are. Well, it is all worked out for the best. Well, you're gonna help us with that and some wonderful, not too expensive tips and tricks. But firstly, how do you describe your personal style? Who are you when you get dressed?
I think I've changed a lot, I think since working from home, mainly, but I think if I had to describe my style it would be modern.
Are you a frequent shopper because it's your job?
I am but I actually probably buy less now than I ever have in my life just because I'm better at it.
