\nCo-Owner \/ Co-Director<\/p>\n
\nAs a mum of 3, I keep my wardrobe fairly basic. When i was younger I always took great pride in my ability to dress like a fruits salad – think pattern clashing and a fast assortment of what I would not consider to be lurid colour. These days I think Denim and white always works. If I had to describe my current style in one word, I\u2019d say it\u2019s \u2018relaxed\u2019. I look forward to it\u2019s evolution, though.<\/p>\n
\nLaundry, obviously! ha! Apart from the domestic duties I begrudgingly perform, I also enjoy devouring a good book.\u00a0 Anything by the great Tim Winton will do quite nicely – though I must confess to be obsessing over Diana Gabaldons \u2018Outlander\u2019 series right now. I\u2019m up to the 6th n the series, it\u2019s such a page turner. Other than that, Id say lazing by the pool with my family or stealing a solitary moment for a stroll down our quiet street.<\/p>\n
\nOoooh that\u2019s a tough one, isn\u2019t it? Life is so full of learning, I just can\u2019t pin it down to ONE piece of amazing advice\u2026.<\/p>\n
\nDave. My husband, business partner, father to my children and the shopper\/chef in our family.\u00a0 That guy keeps me sane, fed and happy ;).<\/p>\n
\nOur amazing customers. I\u2019m often floored by the support and loyalty of our customer base. We\u2019ve got women who shopped with Bohemian Traders when it was a little Big Cartel store that I ran from my kitchen table and they still shop with us now. It\u2019s such a privledge to be able to design and manufacture garments that women genuinely love. I\u2019m grateful every day.
\nI also love our fabulous staff – I love coming to work. There\u2019s a great team spirit, decent amount of hustle and our in house graphic designer is a great DJ, so the tunes are always flowing\u2026. Barry White, anyone?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Dave.jpg\")

\nSimple & clean. You\u2019ll most often find me wearing jeans & a t-shirt, sometimes with shoes. If I have to get dressed up to do something important I\u2019ll throw on a collared shirt, blazer and shoes!<\/p>\n
\nI lead a fairly mundane existence! I spend time hanging with our three kids, reading, tending to vegetables & animals on our smallholding, and surfing a couple of times a week if I\u2019m lucky.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ll go with two:
\n\u201cStart now, do what you can, use what you have.\u201d
\n\u201cMost things worth doing take a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAir, food, water & shelter\u201d – that\u2019s four things but everything else is a luxury that I\u2019m grateful for!<\/p>\n
\nBuilding a passionate team committed to serving our customers well; creating a business and products that are beautiful and fun; our great and growing team that make it fun to come to work everyday; and that I get to work everyday with my partner in business & life, Emily!<\/p>\n

\nEm\u2019s right hand man, IT guy, Whatever you want me to be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\nWhen I am at work I can be doing a range of jobs which I need to be comfortable for and able to move so most day\u2019s you will see me in Denim and my favourite tee. On the weekend however I am a lot more Girly. I would describe my overall style Classic Chic yet comfortable.<\/p>\n
\nI am currently completing a styling course online, so most of the time behind my computer.<\/p>\n
\nBe yourself and don\u2019t worry about what anyone else thinks (within reason, of course).<\/p>\n
\nCOFFEE!!!!!!<\/p>\n
\nWhat\u2019s not to love??? The great people I get to work with everyday, the opportunities and experience I have gained from working with BT and of course the clothes. You can take your pick!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Andy.jpg\")

\nCasual. I am most often wearing chino\u2019s, a basic tee and a jacket or knit, but will occasionally swap out the tee for something a little fancier.<\/p>\n
\nMy spare time at the moment is spent either fishing or wedding-planning.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s a difficult decision, but \u201cDon\u2019t make decisions without eating\u201d is pretty good.<\/p>\n
\nKenny Rogers at least once a day.<\/p>\n
\nWorking in a small, fast-paced team doing what I love means work is always fun!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Colleen.jpg\")

\nColleen O\u2019Dowd<\/p>\n
\nCustomer Experience Manager<\/p>\n
\nClassic with an eccentric flair. I like timeless prints, bold colours and relaxed cuts. I love detailed garments with considered design features – there is nothing better than wearing something and knowing that every little detail has been carefully curated.<\/p>\n
\nSpending time in my art studio letting my creative flair flow or enjoying time with my partner, Patrick.<\/p>\n
\nOpportunities come to those who are prepared. It is honestly the best piece of advice I’ve ever been given. It reminds me everyday to be grateful for what I have, but also to have an open mind and be prepared for all the great things to come in the future.<\/p>\n
\nPencil & paper
\n(I know it\u2019s two things, but you can\u2019t have one without the other!)<\/p>\n
\nThere are so many things I love! There is an amazing team environment with lots of hard work, but equal amounts of laughter.\u00a0 As a brand, Bohemian Traders has an amazing social responsibility, partnering with The Sebastian Foundation to support families in need and Emily’s amazing designs are size inclusive and champion every day women to look and feel their best!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/journal.bohemiantraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Lucy.jpg\")
