3.What did you always want to be when you were growing up? Actually a fashion designer! I used to make my barbie outfits when I was a wee little one, pretty happy that I got to live that out.

4. What has been your must-have this season? A Sirens Swimwear one piece! So amazingly fitted and beautiful quality..

5. What fashion style do you really want to come back? More of the 50’s & 60’s please! Definitely over the 90’s..

6. Who is the most influential person in your life? Can’t go past my mum! An absolute rock for me.

7. Your ideal getaway destination is: Marrakech, Paris, Aspen or Bali? Hmm all of the above please! I would love to go to Paris though, on my wish list!

8. If you could be an animal, what would you be? A cat.. yep I am a crazy cat lady..

9. If you could have a super power, what would it be? Maybe 2 of me could help get through everything I need to do in a day!

10. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? I really like this quote: “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing” – George Bernard Shaw

My last supper would be … Something that includes chocolate of course!
