Serving Icelandic realness! I’m not really sure why but I’m kinda drawn to kooky characters. You know those people that are a little left of centre and have an air of “no fucks given” about them? The ones that are brave and really excel at what they love. […]
A true inspiration! Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is without a doubt one enormously fierce female. If you haven’t heard of her listen up! Jill was, and still is, a well respected neuroanatomist (a fancy way to say a brain doctor/scientist) when one morning in 1996 she woke up […]
Julia + Jerry If there’s one woman who has made me laugh my ass off consistently throughout the years it’d have to be Julia Louis-Dreyfus! I absolutely adore JLD and Seinfeld is one of my favourite shows of all time. Not a day goes by that I don’t quote […]
Troubled soul I ummmed and aaahed about putting Edie in my Fierce Females series but in the end I had to include her as she’s definitely one woman whose look I admired a lot when I was going through my Warhol phase as a teenager. Edie Sedgwick was an heiress, […]

My running inspo Let’s get one thing straight, I don’t have any grand illusions of being an elite athlete. I barely run these days, but when I do I love kind of enjoy it. What I do love is reading about amazing ultra-marathon runners who are without a doubt […]
Image I love a good old fashioned “child star gone bad, dated a Corey, made some shitty movies but then triumphed and is now a Fierce Female” story and Drew Barrymore is the epitome of bad girl turned good. Everyone remembers Drew as the lovable Gertie in E.T. […]
Image All hail Grace, the queen of style and fashion AND the first ginger to make to the Fierce Females list! The first, but definitely not the last 😛 Grace Coddington is the super stylish and imaginative creative director at American Vogue and she’s the talented lady that’s behind all […]
Image When I mention the name S. E. Hinton it may not automatically ring alarm bells, but I’m certain you’ve heard of the book The Outsiders. Susan Eloise (S. E. to you and me) wrote the book when she was 17 and seeing as it was a book […]
