I’m Casey, I’ve been a full-time writer for almost a year. My niche (obsession!) is fashion but I write a range of different content. My inspiration is the everyday women and the highs and lows we experience. I hope that through writing about my own experiences from fashion to mental health I can bring honesty, relatability and (hopefully!) some laughter.
