One to like quality and something a little bit different, the values of Rabie’s business reflect the man himself: passionate about delivering exceptional service and distinguished through excellence.

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nat Thaipun, who we may know as the winner of this season's MasterChef, but to her friends, she's Nat Wolf. Wolf like in adventure, energy and passion, Nat and I go deep. And as we peel back the layers to her story, we find this stealth strength is actually a mechanism for finding purpose. Cooking may have now centred her, but Nat still doesn't mind living life on a knife's edge. And her ambitious live large approach has given her the tools to creatively curate diverse cultural cues and masterfully turn them into something modern and visionary. Whether it's her love for vintage fashion, crafting a kangaroo lab or an array of meaningful tattoos, it's Nat's style to honour history for both her story and others, but keep it contemporary and always make it cute.

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nina Treffkorn, co-director of Sydney contemporary art gallery, China Heights. Born to Buddhist parents that moved from a German commune to a conservative catholic small town in Ireland where she was raised, it’s fair to say Nina has become used to looking at the world from the outside in. However her move to Sydney allowed her to discover a diverse art and fashion community she could belong to, and Nina has since found her place inside. And while it’s Nina’s style to lean into a uniform look as a tool to belong she is not strictly black and white. Nina may have stood out for her height as a child but she’s learnt the value of having a unique story and style and while she finds peace is staying centred she uses her individual assets to her advantage, leading her to greater heights. 

In episode 5 of season 13, I chat with Jess Brady, Financial Planner, Financially Fierce podcast host and founder of The Greenhouse Money Growing Program. Jess’ career in finance afforded her freedoms at a young age and in her compliant yet calculating ways, Jess is now on a mission to unlock the systems that keep others from accessing their own sound financial futures. Jess’ philosophy on finance is not dissimilar to fashion - tap into what’s personally important and consciously use what serves you. Whether she’s wearing second hand clothes, dressing like a farmer, or donning Gucci shoes, it’s Jess’ style to creatively use what she’s got, reward herself occasionally and always think of others. 

In this freestyle episode, I discuss how to elevate your layered winter looks by focusing on the winter coat as both a utility item and a decorative item. I share my styling hacks to help elevate your layered look while still keeping you warm this winter.

In episode 4 of season 13, I chat with Katie Kaars, professional Photographer and Camera Confidence Coach. With over 175,000 followers on Instagram, Katie knows how to be seen and heard. But growing up in a household where children were taught to be seen but not heard, Katie learnt from an early age  that creativity could serve as a powerful outlet for self-expression. And while her career found herself behind the lens of a camera, Katie’s style has always found a point of difference. One to enjoy a practical and pragmatic approach to both her work and her wardrobe, Katie has learnt to let go of rigidity and add more frivolity while always finding beauty in raw and authentic style.
