Roadtrip on a freezing cold day with Frankie Corio, the breakout star of the film Aftersun - for her recent interview with Milk Magazine. Hot chocolates and much fun.

Aftersun takes place at a fading vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum. Paul Mescal (Normal People) who plays Calum, was recently nominated for an Oscar for his part in the film, about belonging, aching loss, and making memories.

Frankie is a dream, and I wish her a very bright future ahead.

I was asked on-board by The Great Brink for hair, make-up and grooming duties for a top secret Haig Club whisky campaign. This would mark the start of the collaboration between Diageo, David Beckham and Simon Fuller.

Multiple films were shot for the global market in several different Scottish locations. David Beckham delivered ‘The Toast’ to close friends and family in the dining room of the Grade A Listed Georgian mansion, Gilmerton House in East Lothian, where close friends and family along with special guests were invited to celebrate the launch. The campaign was also photographed by legendary Peter Lindbergh.

I was kindly asked by Nicola Sturgeon to accompany her on her shoot for British Vogue with photographer Benjamin McMahon. 
I've worked with Nicola for a number of years now, it's an absolute pleasure do her hair and make-up.
British Vogue recently included Nicola's look in their 'Power Hair' feature...

“Nicola prefers a light and layered look for easy maintenance. Monthly visits are enough to keep her going. She’s not high-maintenance at all. She’s very relaxed and enjoys a little bit of sanctuary away from the demands of her high-profile job.” The “favourite shoot”, says McGuire, was last year’s Vogue editorial. “Nicola and I then got to play a bit more, and style it the way I like it. A bit more rock’n’roll!”

Excerpt from Vogue Magazine.

Nicola Sturgeon is still not yet 50 but seems to have been around forever. Just a teenager when she joined the Scottish National Party (SNP), she has been a member of the Scottish parliament for more than 20 years, married to her party’s chief executive for 10, and been Scotland’s first minister for five. A permanent fixture of the UK’s constitutional landscape — which is ironic, given her sole ambition to leave it — by now she feels as familiar to me as the Queen.

The Inbetween Book

The Inbetween Book is a deeply personal project with my good friend and collaborator Kate George. In the making for around 8 years, in between jobs, we’ve finally completed our labor of love. It was a joy to finally hold a copy in our hands. We would love to share our work with you too. Our book is available to buy now and makes a wonderful gift.

“The Inbetween book is your treasure chest of ideas, about connecting to your resilience and inner strength in a creative and playful way. The dark times we went through triggered us to channel our emotions into The Warrior Sisters’ stories. The “inbetween” was a transformational time for us to escape, give something back to ourselves, and reset our lives. 

Like magpies, we gathered tips and tools which we used to inspire and strengthen us. We want to share what we’ve learned with other women so it can help them too. We hope this book will help you, and that in reading it, you’ll want to share it with other Warrior women you know.
