Leanne Bayley is a bubbly 25 year old that grew up in the delightful City of Coventry (no sarcasm, honestly). She graduated from the University of Sunderland where she came away with a degree in Journalism, a new set of friends and a penchant for sambuca.

When she left University Leanne began a string of internships; from consumer magazines, a daily newspaper to a stint in PR. Currently, Leanne is interning at Elleuk.com, which she absolutely loves. The glamour, the excitement, the obsession with celebrities… What’s not to love?

These days Leanne resides in London, in a flat she can’t afford with a flatmate who has a different date for every night of the week. She loves going to gigs, comedy shows, swanky bars, dingy pubs, the cinema, but her favourite past time of all is to shop. Tres original but oh so true.

So how did this contributing for Styling Stuff come about? Strangely enough Leanne was out on the streets of London snapping for Elle when she took a picture of Sana Zod, Rebekahs assistant. They met again, months later in the queue for an after-show party during London Fashion Week. They chatted and became friends and the rest, as they say, is history.

Leanne’s favourite fashion quote:

“…you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister."
