ANNETTE ZUBANI – GUEST FOOD BLOGGER
Sydney based, Nettie Zubani (Nettie Z) has built a career based on lifestyle having navigated her way around Sydney’s fashion, art, home-wares and food scene.The fascination with Mexico began 16 years ago, prior to opening her Mexican restaurant “Vera Cruz”. Nettie has travelled all over Mexico and attended cooking classes at the acclaimed “Seasons of my Heart” in Oaxaca.
Keeping it real, Nettie ventured to different Mexican locations each year for inspiration and has always been intrigued by the cultural diversity, the extreme landscapes and of course the cuisine.
So Nettie finally got me to visit Mexico and in turn we dreamt up “Mexico Riche” the bespoke tours we are collaborating on together that will take you to Nettie’s favourite destinations while staying at Mexico’s luxury properties sampling the unique culinary and design differences of each region.

HOWARD STEEVES – GUEST STYLE BLOGGER
“Dressing with style and sophistication is something that can be influenced by trends but not ruled by them.”
Howard Steeves has a long history in the fashion industry. Hailing from the United States this expat Stylist has worked in film and television as a costumer, in print media as a market editor for Vanity Fair and a stylist on many editorial (GQ, Sydney Magazine) and advertising shoots (Channel Nine, Channel Ten and MJ Bale). His unique international experience means he can help you with anything from finding a perfect outfit for a special occasion to crafting a timeless wardrobe with key pieces that will carry you through the seasons and trends.

A specialist in menswear, he can be a fabulous asset to busy executives lacking the time or desire to spend time shopping but wanting to command respect and admiration from their colleagues and peers.
His work with women is equally skilled, taking shape, lifestyle, and colour into consideration and tailoring a wardrobe that will help build on what she owns and develop a “Look” that suits her, work, weekends, errands, evenings, vacations and virtually anywhere else.
I have admired Howard’s chic and effortless style for years and am thrilled to have him here on-board at Where’s Brent Been? as guest style blogger.
