With a passion for recycled and designer outfits, Mrs Crawford, from Sydney, has earned herself a loyal following who love her bright style and fashion-forward look.
Mrs Crawford started on Instagram in 2012 but has worked in fashion for over 25 years and describes her style as 'adventurous and definitely experimental'.
'I started working with Rosie Nice in the 80s when she was the first person really doing interesting accessories and then went into freelance styling,' Mrs Crawford told Daily Mail Australia.

Never restrict yourself: 'The great thing about fashion trends these days are that there is choice,' she said
Fan of designer: Mrs Crawford says international designer shopping sites 'make the clothes of your dreams a possibility'
ADVICE FOR WOMEN WANTING TO BE MORE CREATIVE WITH STYLEThink about your lifestyle and what clothes you need to fit into that
Buy less and better quality
Look after your clothes. Hang them up on proper coathangers and organise your wardrobe so that you have everything divided into categories
Colour coordinate within the category - it makes seeing what you have much easier and then you can start to be creative
If you are not confident about shopping or what looks good on you don't be afraid to seek advice
'It is really a matter of what you feel comfortable with - I personally wouldn't wear a mini skirt and I definitely prefer something with a sleeve if possible,' Mrs Crawford said.
'The great thing about fashion trends these days are that there is choice. I like the robe trend- kimonos, silk pyjamas and I have always loved print and pattern.'
Mrs Crawford also loves to play with recycled fashion.
'I do have clothes and accessories that are 30 years old but they were bought new and I have just kept the best of them and looked after them. The only vintage shopping I would do is for kimonos,' she said.
'I love recycled fashion and I adore the designer consignment stores and sales on the international designer shopping sites .They make the clothes of your dreams a possibility.'

There's a good chance that for a full month now, or ever since the Cowboys season ended, you've been inundated by draft talk. If you're a regular on Blogging The Boys, there's also a good chance that you've come across some strongly held opinions about a given draft prospect. And there's a very good chance those opinions don't mean squat.
For the sixth year in a row, BTB is hosting a January Mock Draft Challenge. And if the previous five years have taught us anything, it's that in January, nobody has a clue what the Cowboys will do in the draft. Our collective track record at predicting the Cowboys' first-round pick this early in the year is a complete disgrace.
Which just goes to show how hard it is to know anything about the draft in January.But that doesn't mean we can't have fun trying to improve over the previous years.
The challenge this year is the same as in the previous years: create a mock draft based on the latest CBSSports Big Board and submit it for a peer review by your fellow Blogging The Boys community members. The BTB community will hand out recommendations for those mocks they like the most and I will feature the top vote-getters and their mocks in a front page post next week.
But wait. You can't just pick whatever players you like, that would not make this a challenging exercise. The idea here is that you'll have to make choices based on the best player available, so these are the rules for our Mock Draft Challenge:
Post your mock in the comments section below. As you read through the mocks other BTB members have posted, look for mocks that you like and rec' them (Just press rec at the bottom of the comment box). And don't be stingy with your rec's. It's more fun for everybody involved if we have a high rec' count.
The best mocks will be featured on the front page in some form next week, so put some thought into your mock. And give us a rationale for your picks - mocks that have some extra content beyond 6 or 7 player names usually get more rec's, are more fun to read, and will be treated preferentially as I pick the best mocks for the front page post next week.
To get this challenge started, I'll submit the following mock, which has one trade-down and one trade-up, leaving me with six picks in total.
TRADE DOWN: 4 for Baltimore's 6, 101, and 164 (1,800 for 1,722.8 points)
1. (6) Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss - Treadwell, who is quite similar to Dez Bryant in the way he makes plays on and with the football, would be an ideal fit opposite Bryant, and there is little doubt that a receiver like Treadwell could supercharge the Cowboys' offense. Plus Treadwell would be up for a new contract at exactly the time Bryant's contract expires, so there's some interesting symmetry here.
2. (33) Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville - I'm hell-bent on beefing up my interior defensive line this year, and Rankins is the perfect player to give the Cowboys a lot more OOOOMPF! up the middle. The most productive defensive tackle in the draft from a FBS school (1.56 production ratio), Rankins has the size and power to play the 1-technique, but he offers some interesting pass rushing potential as well. He lined up at DE at times in 2015 for Louisville, and is one of the rare players that can get up the field from the 1-technique spot.
3. (66) Deiondre' Hall, CB, Northern Iowa - Encouraged by their success with Byron Jones, the Cowboys pick another hybrid corner/safety prospect. Hall is a rangy 6-2, gives the Cowboys a coveted "plus" corner, and was the 2015 Missouri Valley Defensive Player of the Year after forcing nine turnovers in his senior season (six interceptions, three forced fumbles).
4. (97) Miles Killebrew, SS, Southern Utah - Killebrew is another plus-sized defensive back at 6-3, 230 lbs, and could well be undervalued on the CBS board. He's drawn comparisons to Deone Bucannon and Shaq Thompson (both first-round picks) and if he runs in the 4.40s at the Combine as many expect, he might end up a potential first-round pick as well.
5. (101) Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State - The Cowboys sign a veteran backup QB and invest a mid-round pick in a rookie QB with potential. And boy, does Prescott have potential. Prescott put up Tebow-esque numbers in college with 70 passing TDs, 41 rushing TDs, 9,376 passing yards and 2,521 rushing yards and offers intriguing options as a dual-threat QB at the NFL level. With a 6:1 TD-to-INT ratio and a completion rate of 66.2 percent over 13 games (2nd best in the SEC) in his senior season, Prescott's efficiency in the passing game makes him more than just a runner with a strong arm, and teams will find it hard to overlook the electric playmaker.
TRADE UP: 164 + 170 for Kansas City's 122 (51.2 for 50 points)
5. (122) Javon Hargrave, DT, South Carolina State - A small-school standout if there ever was one, Hargrave put up a ridiculous 3.28 production ratio in college. Hargrave already dominated the Shrine game and was a late invite for the Senior Bowl. If you're looking for an Aaron Donald Starter Kit, Javon Hargrave is as close as you'll get this year. Eric Galko, writing for Bleacher Report, had this to say about Hargrave:
Posting 13.5 sacks in his senior season, Hargrave played an interior penetrating role for South Carolina State, showcasing unique quick-twitch athleticism for a defensive tackle and ripping, swimming and sidestepping blockers with remarkable consistency. He's a bit overly aggressive, leading him to suffer in the run game and containment, but as a pass-rusher, he's one of the 2016 class' best.
You think you can do better? Go ahead and show us your mock.
Please don't be stingy with your rec's for the mocks submitted below. If you like it, rec' it.

This week on Politinerds we talked to the original Blogfather himself, Glenn Reynolds. (Better known as Instapundit.) Glenn is a law professor in Tennessee and a graduate of Yale, but most of us know him from his political pontification. We talk to him about the early days of blogging and get into how the new media has evolved over the years. He also takes on our running question as to whether the gate crashers have become the gatekeepers.
After that we get him to open up about the current state of the media, the trajectory of conservatism and how the two are intersecting in the 2016 race. His thoughts on whether or not American politics is more rancorous now than in years past are enlightening. There's a bit of hodgepodge after that, hitting the debates and shape of the race thus far, as well as where it's going from here. Glenn has a long history to draw on and he always offers an interesting perspective on the American body politic.
Remember, the show is now available on iTunes so you can catch up with us as soon as new episodes air. And for you non-iTunes users, there's still the archive of all our previous shows.

Founded by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams in August 2012, Medium is an amazing platform for thoughts, stories and more. You build followers and your stories are shared within a queue of other content. I've found that writing even one good story can quickly gain you a large following. It's a great writing experience as well with far more interaction on the content than I see traditional blogs getting.

We will send the script to your PayPal email within few hours,Please add FullContentRSS@gmail.com to your email contact.Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) CEO Jack Dorsey announced four senior executives' departure from the company on Sunday. The tweeting site's former product head Kevin Weil is reportedly headed to Facebook-owned Instagram, and according to Re/code's unnamed sources, will take over as the new product lead. The report also mentioned that the picture- and video-sharing platform had courted Mr. Weil since a few months, before his eventual exit from Twitter last weekend.
Facebook likely poached Mr. Weil to join Instagram, since Peter Deng—its product head for the past two-plus years—was recently shifted to Oculus, the virtual reality (VR) division. However, there has been no official confirmation from Instagram about Mr. Weil's appointment.
Twitter engineering head Alex Roetter, VP human resources Brian Schipper, and VP global media Katie Jacobs Stanton have also departed the micro-blogging platform. In a tweet on Sunday, Mr. Dorsey said the exodus of top management was voluntary rather than forced. COO Adam Bain is expected to take on additional responsibilities, with media and HR teams under his control on an interim basis, while CTO Adam Messinger will now lead both the engineering and product departments.
After the departures, Twitter named former American Express VP marketing Leslie Berland as its chief marketing officer. On the other hand, former Apple communications head Natalie Kerris is being eyed for a similar role at the micro-blogging company.
In her 14-year tenure, Ms. Kerris headed the public relations and communications during some of the most lucrative launches, ranging from the new iPads and iPhones to the more recent Apple Pay service. She worked in close circles of the former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and her industry expertise is something that can facilitate Twitter's attempt to turn around its performance.
It is likely Ms. Kerris and Ms. Berland will collaborate as Mr. Dorsey's new lieutenants to help bring forth new innovations in the company's offerings, and improve the platform's public image to enhance the stagnant user base growth. Since last year, the micro-blogging website has faced the brunt of investor concerns over top management departures, slow ad revenue, growth, and lethargic increase in monthly active users (MAU)—from 320 million reported in July 2015.
Mr. Dorsey took over as interim CEO during the same period to turn around the company's ailing fortunes. However, numerous policies have since been experimented, but did not help budge the MAUs; even Instagram—its competitor—has overtaken with its reported 400 million MAUs.
Twitter stock plunged almost 35% since its IPO price of $26 in November 2013, and has hit its lowest mark this week, at around $16 per share. Bidness Etc will soon discuss whether the new CMO and Ms. Kerris' potential hiring provide the operational stability the company seeks to foster future growth.

The appointment comes just two days after the social media site announced four of its senior staff would be leaving the company.
Share prices have dropped sharply in the past year and the site only managed to add four million new users in the final three months of 2015, leaving it with around 320 million – more than one billion behind rival Facebook.
Widely respected in the technology industry from her time at the financial services firm, Ms Berland has been recruited from Amex by Twitter chief Jack Dorsey in order to improve the micro-blogging site's struggling fortunes, something Mr Dorsey touched upon in his tweet announcing Ms Berland's arrival.
The marketing executive is said to be well-liked in Silicon Valley, and landed several key deals while at Amex, including one with car-sharing firm Uber.
Following his return to Twitter last year, Mr Dorsey admitted that the site struggled to attract new users who found it too complicated to use and did not fully understand its purpose compared to other platforms. Twitter has seen the likes of Instagram and Snapchat not only establish themselves as alternative ways of connecting, but also quickly surpass the size of Twitter's user base.
The site has also been criticised for the way it handles abuse and 'trolling', with former chief Dick Costolo admitting Twitter "sucks" at handling abusive behaviour before his departure last year, calling for an overhaul of the reporting process.

Or should I say, it sums up 2015 for most heavy-machinery companies.
But Cummins has been among the biggest losers in the industry over the past year, falling more than rival Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) despite a smaller exposure to the struggling mining and oil and gas sectors. In fact, Cummins also took a bigger hit than PACCAR (NASDAQ:PCAR), its key customer in the trucking industry.
