I would describe my personal style as colourful with bold statement pieces.
If I am having a chill day I will wear comfy gym attire yet if I am going out I love to dress up in dresses with fabulous accessories.
Where do you get your style inspiration from?
I absolutely love picking up the latest style magazines and take inspiration from them. However, there is nothing better than supporting our local boutiques and taking inspiration from them.

I model for ACA Models at various fashion events and I can get an insight into what’s coming in and out of fashion on a regular basis, therefore it gives me a chance to select what suits me too.

Hide AdBe yourself and wear what you want. My late grandmother was a fashion buyer and she always told me to be myself and wear what you think suits you.
What is your favourite fashion trend at the moment?
I would have to say statement piece earrings as they can just finish a look. Trends don’t particularly grab me as I tend to go for more classic stylish pieces.
What is the oldest item in your wardrobe ?
It has to be a Mondi jacket that I wore for my going away honeymoon outfit. It is a classic piece which I absolutely adore and I got it over 30 years ago when I was modelling for Mondi.
What is the most recent item to your wardrobe ?
The most recent is a very girly spotty dress from one of my favs - My Sister’s Closet.
