Dare 2′s Editor Q&A

Name: Shirley Leigh-Wood Oakes

Job Title: Editor of Dare 2 Magazine www.dare2mag.com

Enjoys working for Dare2 because….. I get to work with amazing people, doing amazing things for all of us & our world.

Likes…… Dressing up, travelling to new places, reading long books, curling up in bed, eating & drinking with friends, throwing dinner parties!

Hates…… Having to wake up, windy days when wearing a skirt, inconsiderate or rude people,

Adores….. my friends.

Favourite place to escape too?……. Eleuthera, Bahamas. Because I can get away from everything & there’s no one there! Just miles and miles of pink sand beaches.

Fondest memories…… Playing fairies in the garden when I was a child & going night diving for the first time with sea turtles.

Greatest moment. It’s still to come.

Most treasured possession? My Grandmothers vintage clothing.

Wardrobe Essentials….

An Emesha Cocktail Dress, Nina Dolcetti High Heels, A vintage Chanel Handbag……I could go on….!

Fashion Tip for the season….. It’s festival time so Nudie Organic Jeans, Ethletic Sneakers and Komodo Summer blouse. Oh, and a Liv Organic wrap cardigan just in case it gets a little chilly.

Best feeling in the world…. Falling in love.

Always try to have time for…… my family & friends.

Can’t go anywhere with out….. A very good book, Vogue, Balm Balm lip balm, my NV London Handbag and my iPod.

Wish List….. an Angel Jackson Handbag and an eco-friendly mini.

Beauty Bag Essentials….. Weleda Skin Food, REN Moroccan Rose Body Oil, Priti NYC Nail Vanish, Jane Iredale Makeup (all of it!)

Off on holiday to….. Ibiza with friends!

Will be packing….. my stunning Sophia Rogge sarong and my Vivienne Westwood Africa Bag.

Looking forward to….. sitting on the beach watching shooting stars this Summer & going to NYC in September.

Favourite Restaurants in London…… Tom’s Kitchen, Bumpkin, The Folly and Jak’s on Walton Street. Nobu would be in there if they would start being sustainable and take Blue Fin tuna off the menu!
