Established UK fashion & beauty blogger

UK Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle Blogger

I’m Sarah, based in the UK and I’ve been fashion & beauty blogger for 15 years.

Temporary:Secretary is a fashion and beauty blog (UK), but you will also find the odd bit of lifestyle, home inspiration, travel and a few pet content from time to time (Because the Internet loves pet pics and I like to please the crowd!).

About Me:

Before social media really kicked off and the term “influencer” was invented, I started my own e-commerce business from my uni bedroom in 2008 as a side hustle. It received national press coverage (and my products were worn by Fearne Cotton on the front cover of Sugar Magazine and by girl group, Little Mix.

During this time, also took up blogging as a hobby. As part of the first generation of high street style bloggers, I immersed myself in the community but the turning point for me was in 2011 when I was voted best LOOK Magazine’s best blogger.

In addition to this, I hustled in freelance work with small independent businesses, before embarking on a career in marketing and digital. I enjoyed a short stint in the digital team at Soap & Glory in London. Then I worked in social media for an award-winning fashion department store, and was then part of the marketing team at one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe.

About My Fashion & Beauty Blog:

After I won LOOK Magazine’s fashion blogging competition in 2011 (here’s the entry I submitted if you fancy taking a look!), my fashion and beauty blog took off in ways I never imagined.

I enjoy working with national and global brands while retaining editorial and creative control and feel very lucky to be in the position where brands trust me enough to do this.

If you’re working on blogger outreach and campaign, I would love to be part of it, please feel free to drop me an email which can be found on my contact page.
