About Me

Hello, I'm Carla!

Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I've run Droogette.com for over a decade, from my life as a university graduate, to just another Geordie girl in her mid-30s.

I've collaborated with brands such as Simply Be, New Look, Yours, The Body Shop, Rose & Co. as well as independent brands and creators.

I've also attended London Fashion Week in collaboration with Look Magazine and worked closely with them to launch their online blogging platform.

My hobbies – besides talking to myself on the internet - include video games, fashion history, Asian cuisine, watching drag performances, live music and I can often be found in the stalls of the theatre (never the circle, dahhling).

I also run a Japanese blog over at TheGeordieGaijin.com documenting my time living in Shizuoka prefecture, Japan.
