Introducing talented Tattoo Artist and Fashion Influencer, Abigail Rawlings.
Abigail was born in West London but was brought up in Buckinghamshire with her family, including one sister.
During her school years, Abigail shone in all-things Art which continues to be her number one passion to this day – when we all think of that ‘Arty child’ who’s skills we were envious of, well that was her.
With her energy focused on putting pencil to paper, Abigail went onto complete a Tattoo Apprenticeship when she was just 18 years old. It’s safe to say that there’s really only one thing that rivals art when it comes to vying for Abigail’s attention – and that’s animals.
When Abigail was younger, she dreamed of becoming a vet until she remembered that she would have to face sick animals every day, which is something she has confessed she could not cope with. One of Abigail’s career highlights as a Tattoo Artist was completing Calum Best’s forearms with a complicated symmetry project which came out perfect — another was creating her private tattoo studio.
Fast forward to 2021, Abigail was presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity when she was approached through Instagram to join the Season 7 cast of ITV2’s Love Island. Since leaving the villa, Abigail has worked with brands, including; Boux Avenue, HelloFresh, In The Style, boohooMAN, GLAM DOLL, Rebellious Fashion, Estrid, Hairburst, Bondi Boost, Boots and LookFantastic.
Abigail’s hobbies include fashion, fitness, reading, painting, and spending time with her pup, Zeus. As well as pursuing exciting partnerships with some of her favourite brands, Abigail looks forward to exploring how she can play a part in raising all-important awareness for charitable organisations that work to prevent animal cruelty.
Introducing Jennifer Graham, known as Charity Shop Girl – a name she inherited after regularly frequenting charity shops across the country, rummaging around for a gem or two, picking up cute bric-a-brac and fashion finds in her infamous basket.
Jen has become a trusted voice on social media, helping to remove the stigma associated with charity shops and helping people to find their own style while embracing second-hand shopping. Jen embarked on her Charity Shop Girl journey back in 2020. Being pregnant and due to give birth, encouraged by her 13-year-old daughter, Jen started to create haul videos combining her love of second hand fashion, styling and charity shops – something she had been doing in private since the age of 17.
Although her Charity Shop Girl journey seemed like plain sailing to outsiders, events prior to this point in her life hadn’t been quite as smooth. Going back in time to 2013, you would have found Jen surrounded by flour and icing in her cake shop and vintage tea room, ‘Joella’s Bakehouse’ in Sandbach. A venture that exceeded her expectations, securing number one on trip adviser after the first month of trading. As you can probably expect, her charity shop flare was never far from sight as it was decorated with vintage bric-a-brac and hanging teacups. Jen had always loved baking but only took this passion to the next level after being diagnosed with skin cancer for the first time and restricted to crutches for 2 months, which led her to bingeing YouTube, reading cookery books and learning to bake. Sadly, after the pressure of 6 operations, Jen reluctantly hung up her apron, closing her cake shop and reverting to baking for fun in her kitchen at home for her family including three children; Joe, Stella, and Joni.
Her passion for cooking and music is never far from sight, as you will know if you have watched her sing-along cooking videos and saved her ‘Cook with CSG’ Spotify playlist.
Jen’s exciting adventure as Charity Shop Girl continues to go from strength to strength. She’s had a 5-page spread in Cheshire Life Magazine, a mention in Vogue Business, partnerships with brands including; eBay, Max Factor, Propress and Garnier, become the face of skincare brand Face Junkie and an ambassador role with The Air Ambulance Service.
During 2023, she has also presented her very first charity shop fashion segment on primetime television with ITV’s This Morning alongside Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond. She continues to grace us with her presence on morning television as a second hand fashion expert and has big goals in sight as her journey as Charity Shop Girl flourishes.

Beyond her academic pursuits, Katie's interests are as diverse as they are delightful. From baking mouth-watering treats to dancing to the beats of 90's music, she's a woman of many talents. But it's her love for fashion, festivals, travel, and Italian cuisine that truly ignites her passion for life.
In September 2021, Katie embarked on a new adventure, launching her own 'brand' with characteristic determination and flair. It's just another chapter in her story of ambition, resilience, and unwavering dedication to making the world a better place.
