A guide to shopping secondhand from a fashion writer
6/25/202625 min
Welcome to What Else?, a video mini-series proudly presented by Nespresso. This is our first time doing full-length video episodes, and we’re so excited to share this series with you. Over three episodes, we’ll be stepping into the hour that usually belongs entirely to yourself…the honest, unfiltered window between 7 to 8am, before the day begins. We’ll sit down with some of the most enamoured women in our orbit to uncover who they are beyond their titles, routines, and public personas.
In our third and final episode, we’re stepping inside Cait Emma Burke’s world. Aside from being Style-ish’s Senior Producer, Cait is also a successful writer and editor. She spent nearly five years as the Editor of Australian publication Fashion Journal, and as a freelancer, her writing has appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, i-D Magazine, Body + Soul, and more. We talk about her background in pre-loved fashion (and how to find those special pre-loved pieces), how to nail a pitch and get your work published, and what the driving force behind her career is.

Welcome back to What Else, a miniseries proudly brought to you by Nespresso. For our final episode, we're stepping into the morning of another creative we admire, exploring the layers that exist beyond her career and the perspective she's built along the way. Across this series, we've seen that there's never just one version of success. It goes beyond their job, shaped by personal rituals, evolving priorities, and the choices we make every day, big and small. This series is made possible by Nespresso, where every coffee is a chance to discover a new world. Just press to explore over 30 exceptional Vertuo blends, from single origins to fun flavor coffee, roast and ground, sealed in aluminum for freshness, and recyclable via Nespresso's program. Because building a successful life is easier with your morning coffee in hand. Hello, guys. I'm Rhiannon Joyce, Stylish's Wednesday and Friday co-host. Welcome to What Else. This is a new series, and today we are talking to the wonderful Kate Emma Burke. In these eps, you guys know we want to know what our guests are beyond what they do in their workdays, as well as a little insight into their interesting jobs. And Kate, I sit next to you, so I know you have an interesting job, 'cause I see your screen and it's much more interesting than mine.
