A little About me.
"Sasha Wilkins is the sort of girl you want at your dinner party. The Wall Street Journal fashion editor turned lifestyle blogger has perfected that effortlessly elegant kind of cooking that says, “I just whipped up this terrific cake after a day at the park.” Hannah Martin. Architectural Digest. Sept 2015
Sasha is an example of why writers, editors and producers should be natural digital media pioneers – but very few have shown her curiosity, skill, drive and tenacity to use the incredible new tools at our fingertips.” Elisabeth Murdoch. Red magazine’s Women of the Year Awards.
“A former Wall Street Journal executive style editor, Ms Wilkins is one of the blogosphere’s most authoritative voices” The Financial Times
