Coffee or tea?
I drink both on a daily basis, but I find myself craving and reaching for a coffee more – specifically, an iced vanilla latte.
How would you describe your Instagram aesthetic and how did you develop it?
Right now, my Instagram aesthetic is very warm and bright – giving you utmost spring/summer vibes, no matter the season, but, key elements would include a Parisian aesthetic, with a hint of minimalism, and a lot of sun. I looked up to other accounts, experimented with my style and focused on bettering my content; from quality to the perspective, and my current feed is what I ended up with.
Where do you go for inspiration?
My main sources of inspiration are of course Instagram and Pinterest – the biggest suppliers for everything I’m obsessed with. I love getting inspo from other accounts, and just scrolling through Pinterest for hours on end.
List 6 fashion pieces you think every girl should own.
My top picks would be – a good quality pair of straight/wide leg jeans, a comfortable sweatshirt or two, a ribbed tank, a simple white tee, a heavenly little black dress, and of course some jewels to go along with them.
What’s the best meal you’ve ever had and where was it from?
I’m the biggest foodie ever so choosing a favourite meal is so difficult. However, I went to Paris for a trip and my cousins took me to try waffles with Nutella from this one specific store, and I was in love. It sounds so basic, but it tasted so different than what you would have outside France!
What are three of your current fashion obsessions?
Ever since pastels started popping up again, I have been infatuated with them. Everything pastel – trousers, blazers, tops. Corsets tops would be a close second and laced tops like the Victoria Secret unlined bra top as a third, stunning on every body.
What is your favorite piece of clothing and where and when did it come into your life?
My all-time favourite item – I got my North Face puffer last year and its an item that I will constantly reach out for since its always freezing where I live apart from the summer months.
How would you describe your personal style and how did you develop it?
My style is very trendy I would say. I like following the latest fashion trends; it’s a good way to expose yourself to new styles and ideas (if they are pretty though) and overtime, it has built up my style to be very modern and chic. I like to be bold with clothes and I’ll wear anything I like, from girly pieces to more tomboyish outfits. In the past I really had the timeline of a variety of styles – some hot and some not, and at some point in the journey, you just wake up to find your style that defines you. It takes time.
What message do you think your personal style sends?
I would like to hope my personal style sends the message that you don’t have to be restrictive with your options – wear whatever you want, whenever you one and don’t limit yourself to one style you think defines you. I hope people don’t feel like they have to be someone or have exciting events in their life to get dressed up. Dress up because you’re stepping out of your room for the first time in days, it’s all about romanticizing your life.
In a movie about your life, who would you want to play you?
The first person that comes to mind is Zendaya. I’m a very sarcastic, clumsy person who likes to use humour to cope with everything, so I’d like someone like Zendaya, who is effortlessly funny to portray my life – and really relate to her when she said that on her free days, she’d literally spend it doing nothing all day.
