Feel Good Fashion & Beauty Tips
Happy Friday! What a week - we flew over to Greece to help DASH Dogs so I hosted a mini DASH week over on my social media channels. Katerina is the most incredible woman - she helps HUNDREDS of stray, injured, and ill dogs over in Greece. You can find out more about DASH on their website: https://dash-dogs.com If you can help with a donation, which can be as small as the price of a coffee, we will be forever grateful. Now more than ever the shelter needs our help to buy vital supplies for the dogs….
We then flew back to the UK where the excitement of new fashion projects and articles was waiting for me - I’m rounding up this week’s Feel Good Fashion & Beauty favourites from my content on Instagram!
Straight from the most inspirational woman I know...
Katerina puts it so beautifully there is no need for me to add anything...
Apart from thank you - as always - for supporting Katerina and the hundreds and hundreds of animals she cares for at DASH.
The good news is that every single penny and pound you donate goes straight to the shelter, to buy food, medicine and other supplies.
Due to a massive increase in the number of stray dogs on the street in Greece over recent months, the number of hungry mouths at the shelter is higher than ever...the food supplies at DASH have become critically low.
The shelter has launched an emergency Just Giving campaign - 'from Hungry to Happy' - if you would like to help in amy small way, please visit: https://dash-dogs.com
Other ways to help include:
- Sponsor a dog who cannot be adopted - this small monthly amount makes a huge difference (please email DASH for details)
- Adopt a gorgeous greekie! 🐾 We have loving cats and dogs needing a forever home.
- Volunteer at the shelter - this can be an incredibly rewarding experience.
- Follow @dashdogsrescue and help them grow on here...
As Kat says - thank you thank you thank you. 🙏🏼
Your support means so much. Xx

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💫
This is what your money has raised since our last visit. 🙏🏼
As many of you know; this Summer has been absolutely horrific with fires. Thankfully DASH survived without falling victim to the flames, but they had some very near misses which was highly stressful for everyone.
Thanks to YOU amazing people, DASH now have a fantastic water system, complete with 30,000 litres of water, 4 pumps and even an electronic generator! 🌟🌟🌟
We absolutely could NOT do this without you, sometimes we arrive here and it all just feels too much - I absolutely have the utmost respect for Katerina and the team for facing this every day - your messages of support and love however, together with all your amazing donations and adoption enquiries, absolutely spur us on - so please, please keep it up - we are stronger together, and this powerful community can do so much good. 🙏🏼
Please, please, please checkout my Instagram, comment, like and share - and donate if you are able - we are beavering away over here to save as many animals as we can and with you behind us we have more than a fighting chance. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

One soul at a time 🐾🇬🇷
This is why I come back to DASH month after month, this is why I am the biggest pain in your DMs several times a year, asking you to share my plight, this is why I will never stop trying for these voiceless animals who are mistreated so horribly. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I will never ever stop. 💗
They deserve better. And together we can make this happen. 🫶🏼
Even if we just make one life a whole lot better after this trip it will have been worth it. I just have to keep going.... 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you, thank you, thank you xxxx
If you would like to help by donating some money towards the DASH 'hungry to happy' campaign (food is critically low) or alternatively sponsor or even adopt a gorgeous greekie, please please visit my Instagram 🙏🏼🐾🇬🇷

Fiona’s story 🐴
Beautiful Fiona came to DASH about a year ago, she was unwanted, unloved, pregnant and very poorly. She was badly suffering from a rare form of skin cancer, and was covered in painful, blistering tumours.
In true DASH form they took her in and patched her up as best they could. They covered her wounds in savlon, gave her their love, and even found her a loving companion, a lame donkey called Appleseed. The pair soon fell in love and were inseparable.
Sadly, little Appleseed didn’t make a good recovery, he stopped eating and laid down one day and wouldn’t get up, and Fiona was alone again and heartbroken.
DASH knew that in order for Fiona to survive and have her baby, she needed another friend, so found her a home with a caring family and two new companions... and this is how we got her there...
Definitely NOT my preferred way to move a donkey, but the team here are as inventive and resourceful as ever and I am humbled by their resilience.
The final issue is that, the cancer ate away Fiona’s nipples, so she will be unable to feed her foal. DASH have to import expensive donkey milk from another country to feed the baby... so if you would like to help at all, and sponsor Fiona for this and other medical treatment please email Ivor at info@dash-dogs.com to arrange. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
If you would like to donate to the amazing work they do here please see my stories for the link.
Thank you 💗🐾🐴 xxx

It’s Me - Hi!
A little re-introduction for the newbies around here, thank you for giving my little grid a bit of real estate on your phone, my hope is that I brighten your day.🌈
My name is Miranda, I live in Hampshire with my family, made very dysfunctional by some very naughty fur and feather-babies which you'll likely see on stories. I used to be an actor, I'm a complete show-off and love any stage or camera, so you'll sometimes find me chatting Royals or style on the telly. 👑
I gave up acting to have my family, then had a very serious car accident which changed my life forever. It was a pivotal moment which woke me up and set me on my course today, I discovered the healing powers of style and beauty and am on a mission to sprinkle my personal brand of fashion fairy dust all over social media in the hope that it will help you, just as it helped me. 🧚♀️✨
I'm also a celebrity stylist and have a couple of columns in the papers - so you may see my name crop up whilst you are sipping your morning coffee. When I'm not styling up a storm I'm either drinking cacao with my hippy mates and getting my Rokks off playing with my Rokkstar crystals, dancing 'till dawn at any festival I can get to, or being a voice for the thousands of suffering animals who have none by visiting DASH - in fact I've just returned home from there.
I'm super-sensitive, but also put my foot in in a LOT!! I think it's my Irish blood! I tend to be like marmite and people either love or hate me - I've recently learned it's something to do with my human design and I have a repellant aura - I've only just become 'ok' with that!

...and just like that... with fashion month and the latest DASH rescue visit over, it’s back to work with a bang and I’m loving the mix of brand, celebrity and personal styling, with a bit of telly, a dash of writing - and goodness knows what else - thrown in! 💫
One of the joys of being freelance is that you never really know what is around the corner!
It also just goes to show that it is never too late to start something new or reach for your dreams... I came into Fashion as a mother of two, following my car accident. I had no idea whether I would be successful, but I had absolutely nothing to lose - and look where I am now!! 💛
One of my top tips is to just say yes to EVERYTHING when you start your new venture - as it is an adventure - and you absolutely never know what it could lead to... and when all is said and done, if it’s meant to be... it will be... if it doesn’t work, it’s simply not the right path for you, so nothing lost at all....
Here is a little throwback to last year, working with my Insta-bestie and soul sister Katie Brindle, branding and styling a shoot for her fabulous The Hayo’u Method platform - a great day, working with the loveliest people.
To enquire further about styling services or broadcasting opportunities, please just drop me a DM.
