Q: How would you describe your personal style in 3-5 words?
A: Casual, Parisian, Vintage, Comfortable and on-trend.
Q: Where do you shop? Luxury or high street? New or vintage? Boutiques? Online?
A: I don't stick to one specific store, I like to shop around. The British high street is incredible, so I get the majority of my clothes etc from there, but I adore anything vintage. Online shopping is so easy and simple that it can become a day to day activity, but I also enjoy a little splurge on some luxury brands.
Q: If you had $300 for a shopping spree, how many items would you buy?
A: I'm the kind of girl who likes the make the most of my money so I would make �300 go far. I would raid the high street and charity stores to buy as much as possible. I think I could buy several outfits and multiple accessories on this budget.
Q: Do you prefer street style fashion or runway fashion?
A: Street style is a more realistic representation of female style, runway is very rigid, it doesn't suit everyone's body shape or style.
Q: What do you splurge on? Skimp on?
A: I splurge on shoes because I like them to last, and I skimp on jewellery because I like to buy too much of it that I have to spend less on the pieces I buy.
Q: When and how did you become interested in fashion, and where do you find your inspiration?
A: My first interest in fashion came from a school project I did when I was 11. We had to write about a particular topic from the 1930's. I chose fashion. Researching and reading about fashion really peaked my interest and I've been obsessed ever since. My inspiration definitely comes from looking back, classic movies, classic fashion icons.

A: My ultimate icon is Rachel Zoe, we have a very similar style/taste. I adore classic style icons, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe.

Q: What do you love about fashion? Not love?
A: I love how it makes you feel when you're dressed in an outfit that is completely comfortable but makes you look stunning. I love how accessories or new clothes can improve your look, and I love being able to express who I am through clothes. What I don't love is when things become so mainstream that everyone is wearing the same thing exactly the same way as everyone else.

A: Burberry, Mary Katrantzou, Paul & Joe, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, H&M, Elie Saab, Badgley Mischka and Oscar de la Renta.
