Journey with Ally May Carey
Join us in experiencing a day in the eyes of Ally from @allmaycare whose awe-inspiring journey in the fashion industry sees style, creativity and inspiration intertwine.
Can you tell us a little about your background and how you got started in your career?
The beginning of my career in the fashion industry started as a model when I was 17. As a side project, I began blogging and selling vintage clothes! A few years into blogging it became my full-time job and I decided to leave the modelling industry!
Now, I am a full-time photographer/creator. I have been studying graphic design the past 2.5 years, and have 6 months left until I am finished! I love being a creative and know I will always use my creative skills for my career.

Bottega Veneta BV1144S.
What inspires you to create?
Art, everyday people, travel, interiors, light, texture, pop-culture, music, films, vintage.
What are some of your favourite places to visit?
Paris, Thailand, Amsterdam, New York
How do you find inspiration for your content when traveling and exploring new places?
I find that travel automatically inspires me. The culture, the new people, the sights, the smells. Everything is new to the senses, and it just excited me. I think as well, because you’re relaxed, and you’re not working per se, you’re just creating because you want to.
I always travel with a note pad, film and my digital camera.
What does a 'normal' day in your life look like and where can we find you in your sunglasses?
I don’t know if any day is normal for me. As a freelancer, I am always working on different things. I try to set up my mornings as the routine of my day - you’ll catch me walking my dog, Bowie in some fresh air, and sunglasses on.
Favourite place to explore, eat and shop.
Primary Coffee Potts Point if I am in the city
Harrys Bondi for my morning coffee or iced Matcha
Shops - anywhere vintage
Eat - Pellegrino 2000, Dear St Eloise
