The Style Project: a podcast about body love, self esteem and personal style

The queen of footwear, Cushla Reed, is NZ fashion royalty. She’s been in the industry for over 20 years, and has seen it all, but is one of THE most down to earth people you will ever meet.

She is the heart and sole (see what I did there?) oh her business, she still fronts her retail space and is in constant contact with her customers and retailers, often listening to women complain about and put down their bodies when trying on clothes.

She uses the valuable information sh gains from chatting with customers about their insecurities to thoughtfully design both her shoes and her more recent clothing line (C.Reed clothing).

I always love a chat with Cushla, and I”m so excited to have her join me on this episode - happy listening.

Brooke Falvey - What Brooke Wore

Brooke Falvey is Brisbane's very own Carrie Bradshaw. She's a journalist, turned fashion blogger / instagram star, turned stylist and model.
This blond bombshell is the OG dopamine dresser, and she makes me miss my home state of Queensland with all the amazing colour and print she wears on her Instagram page, but you'll also be surprised at the clothing item she feels the MOST herself in.
Learn how a conversation as a teenager with her mum in a mall about all of the 'normal women' set her on a path to accepting her (gorgeous) body how it is, and gave her the confidence to step into a modelling career even though she doesn't have the 'traditional model frame" that we were programmed to be the "only model body" growing up in the 90's.
We talk about how wearing your togs in public might be bold, but please don't call it brave, and I learn about how protective Brooke is over her own sense of style (don't mess with her gold boots please!)
Find Brooke on INSTAGRAM HERE, or read her blog ON HER WEBSITE

Evie Kemp

The fabulously flamboyant Evie Kemp is my latest guest. She's an incredibly talented designer and all round creative.
She loves her dogs, is never short of a wide-leg pant, and always keeps her hallway looks immaculate for when people "just drop round'
Evie's personal style is amazing! But it's been a work-in-progress.
I loved our chat about how we just need to take up space, and show us as our authentic selves, and why it really is ok to just show your arms, no matter what they look like
