About Me


Hello, I'm Carla!


Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I've run Droogette.com for over a decade, from my life as a university graduate, to just another Geordie girl in her mid-30s.

I've collaborated with brands such as Simply Be, New Look, Yours, The Body Shop, Rose & Co. as well as independent brands and creators.
I've also attended London Fashion Week in collaboration with Look Magazine and worked closely with them to launch their online blogging platform.

My hobbies – besides talking to myself on the internet - include video games, fashion history, Asian cuisine, watching drag performances, live music and I can often be found in the stalls of the theatre (never the circle, dahhling).

I also run a Japanese blog over at TheGeordieGaijin.com documenting my time living in Shizuoka prefecture, Japan. 


Frequently Asked Questions:



Do you blog full-time?
No, I have a BA in Television & Radio Production, but I worked in the travel and tourism industry from 2010-2019. I now work in education.


What camera do you use?
A lot of photos in older posts use my Nikon DSLR, now I just use my iPhone 13.
