Had the best night at Spring/Summer 23 Launch Party in the stunning 💕

Now it’s time to update my wardrobe cos this number has been on high rotate.

May or may not have been asking everyone where they purchased their fits, cos this girl is still in “Sydney” mode.. and struggling big time.

Impromptu Market research with zero shame 🙋🏻‍♀️

Ps - did we just become best friends 🤣

My goodbye to Heather McDowall Millinery video. 😭

This was one of the hardest videos to shoot, it was tough to edit, it’s a struggle to watch. In fact I have tears in my eyes writing this.

My business was the biggest gift to me. It bought me so much joy, it pushed me to my absolute limits and most of all- it showed me that dreams do come true.

Anything is possible.

I thought my purpose in life was Heather McDowall Millinery. Having my own label.

Turns out- it isn’t.

Every single job I’ve ever had, every challenge I’ve ever encountered, every struggle I pushed through.

I was always destined to come out the other side.

Stronger.
Resilient.
Determined.

Equipped with the tools and knowledge to be able to help others.

This is my purpose.

This video is a heart felt thank you.
To all of you ❤️

“My dreams came true, and now I’m helping other designers make their dreams come true as well”

For now, I’m choking up, my contact lenses are slipping off my eyeballs.

Signing off with watery eyes and a grateful heart.

All my love

“Remember that time when I forgot about dinner with Heather cos I was too busy fake tanning for the Hobart Cup”

True Story.

Last weekend I had a quick stop over in Hobart for a bit of bessie time.

30 minutes go by and and were late. We call Sam and he has no idea about dinner.

Turns out Ben forgot to tell Sam, was going to leave it as a “surprise” (well surprise bish, you’re late) and instead, had just finished his top coat of tan in preparation for the cup the next day.

Priorities 🤣

Aloha Heather McDowall Fam.

Feels like two months since my last post.
Oh that’s right..it has been.

The new year has bought about some big decisions for this business, and in true Heather McDowall style, it’s go big or go home.

So I’m going big.

After 10 years of my Millinery business, I have made the gut wrenching decision to close this chapter. NGL, I have been a heart broken mess the last few months, while I sat with this decision.

To 28 year old Heather, who moved to the big smoke to pursue her Millinery dream, ya bloody did it sis.

To every single person that has supported me over the years, customers, interns, staff, stockists, friends, family, suppliers, whether you’ve replied to a story or commented on a post.

Nothing has gone unnoticed by me.

I am eternally grateful for the gift you’ve all given me. You helped me make my dreams come true.

I will be sharing more with you over the next couple of weeks, and giving this business a little more time in the limelight, while I tie up loose ends.

From the bottom of my heart.
I thank you all for your continued support.

I am forever grateful
❤️❤️❤️

Today I choose to start my day by being grateful. Grateful that I have woken up to another beautiful day, I have been given the gift of life, and I choose to live every day fulfilling my purpose.
5 weeks ago I met with to have another website meeting.
She took one look at me and was like “whooahhhh girl, I can feel your stressful energy from here. There’s This book that I think would be helpful for you to read”
The book- The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod.
Before I let everyone know about how much this book has changed me, the day I arrived at Amy’s house I had just found out that I have alopecia again. And that is, bald chunks all over my scalp where hair used to reside. (What a treat)
The cause- stress.
Yet the funny thing is, I don’t feel stressed. And that’s what happens when you have normalised the feeling of stress for so many years. If someone was to step into my body, they would freak out, but to me, it’s just another day in paradise. (Yahoo) Yet my body is saying- Heather I can’t take it any more, I’m gonna make some hair fall out for you to realise you need to make some changes around here.
The book is all about setting up a healthy morning routine, (setting aside time for your own personal development) so that You are equipped for what ever the day throws at you. It’s all about a healthy mindset.
I don’t relate to any motivational YouTube videos that I watch talking about procrastination and just doing it… I am the complete opposite. So they have never been helpful to me. When people tell me to rest or read a book sis. Bish, who has time for that.
But… after reading this book (well actually I listen to the audio during my morning walks) I have finally realised the importance of it, setting aside time each day for your own personal development, I have just been gung Ho 500 miles an hour focused on work.
I know all of our routines have been thrown off with what is going on right now, we can’t control that. What we can control however is what we choose to do with this time, our mindset, setting up new healthy routines for ourselves and committing to the work we need to do to reach our goals.
It’s 5 stars for me, give it a read if you have time or down load the audio from YouTube ###
