Rachel and Lynne's guest this week – our first for 2023 – is Charlotte Dallison. Charlotte's mantra is Blonde not Beige and she has built a successful career as a writer, podcaster and vintage fashion aficionado.

We chat about:

• How she built her vintage fashion business and used that following to leverage her writing career
• Using Substack for her newsletter and how the platform has grown
• The story behind securing her book deal, which is coming out late in 2023
• Being a digital nomad
• Working on her book thanks to a creative residency in Sardinia
