Based in Melbourne, Australia, I own and run a bricks-and-mortar vintage clothing shop, blog and webshop called Circa Vintage Clothing (website http://circavintageclothing.com.au). My first book "Love Vintage" was published in 2009, about the identification, care and restoration of 20th century ladieswear. I received a bronze medal in the Independent Publisher's Awards in the Popular Culture category for the book and am currently working on a second non-fiction title relating to ladies fashion.

I generally contribute to entries on the history of fashion, vintage clothing, literature, film and music, amongst other areas of interest. More biographical information can be found at Circa's website.
