Q: What do you splurge on? Skimp on?
A: Coffee is practically an everyday consumption!!...
Over-sized coats, faux fur/chunky knitted scarfs are my essential possessions. I tend to skimp out on hand bags as I don't feel they are necessarily a main accessory. One black over-sized leather tote, one PVC clutch and one small satchel is all you need to style with any outfit, day or night.
Q: When and how did you become interested in fashion, and where do you find your inspiration?
A: I have always been interested in styling as well as interior styling and researching colour trends. I think the best kind of inspiration comes from your fashion icons and mixing those up with your own personal style, as well as present-day styles.
