Carla Challis

I’m HELLO!’s Commerce Partnerships Editor, having banked over 15 years of editorial experience in the print and digital world, writing and editing fashion, beauty and lifestyle content at the Press Association, ASOS and beauty mags. I started my career at the BBC, working on TV shows, before training to be a journalist with an NCTJ. I learned the craft at local newspapers, reporting on London Fashion Week and styling fashion shoots for teen publications. 

Here at HELLO!, I’m one of our Shopping Experts, where my day-to-day sees me create shopping content across my areas of obsession, accessories and travel, along with cultivating partnerships between HELLO! and leading consumer brands. 

Accessories are my forte, and I’m always keen to hunt out the latest Insta-trends everyone’s wearing or hunt down the necklace our favourite TV stars are wearing. My favourite thing? Bringing the reader curated edits, from jewellery microtrends to investment buys along with deep dives on fashion, beauty and travel inspiration, because who doesn't love looking at dreamy holidays? 

Away from work, I'm a yoga-loving, Real Housewives watching mum-of-one, who can be found walking around the Cambridgeshire countryside with my dog, Sal, listening to crime podcasts. When I have time, you'll find me sipping a big glass of red with friends, adding another pair of gold hoops to my jewellery collection and buying far too many clothes for my daughter.
