Jo Barrett-Lennard
I am a freelance writer based in Western Australia. I am also a qualified Personal Style and Image Consultant, and run my own business "Elegance and Grace".
I believe clothing and personal presentation to be of the most important forms of communication. "Elegance and Grace" has been created to show women across Western Australia how to dress for their body shape, their personality and their lifestyle.
I am a single mother to a 3 year old, and am currently writing a book on single mothering. I also have in the works a book on Style and Image for beginners.
I write on various topics for different publications worldwide, ranging from single parenting, personal finances, microbusiness management, the Law of Attraction, mindset and, of course, clothing and image.
When I am not writing or inspiring women with their wardrobe, I spend my time hanging out with my daughter, baking cupcakes, reading, people watching and shopping.
