How it felt to be a speaker at the Lucky Things Meet Up? By Lucy Eastment, Styled by Lucy
The Lucky Things Meet Ups and Lucky Things Locals are all about bringing people together in real life. Organising the Lucky Things Meet Ups across the UK gives me amazing opportunities to collaborate with talented women.

So here’s Lucy’s story, Personal Stylist from Styled by Lucy.
