Publisher's Synopsis

Jane de Teliga had it all: a glamorous and fulfilling career as style director for Australia's best-loved magazine, a happy family life, and a beautiful home in Sydney's stunning eastern suburbs. But when empty nest syndrome struck, she suddenly found herself wondering what it all meant. Who was she when she wasn't being defined by her career and motherhood? To find out, she did what many people long to do-sold the house, left her job, and went to try her luck in Paris. Along the way she discovered meditation, yoga, and the inescapable truth of the Buddhist saying: "Everywhere you go, there you are." From her beginnings in the art world to her current work teaching and inspiring the next generation of fashion stylists, Jane has led a rich and varied life. This memoir, beautifully illustrated with photographs from Jane's life in fashion and her travels, is the story of one woman's journey from the heady world of fashion to a simpler and happier existence-the story of a woman taking a step into the unknown and finding herself in the process.
