How would you describe your personal style?
I’m a big fan of great basics, a jeans girl at heart and always feel best my in a well cut blazer.
Something in your handbag that you think no one else will have?
About 5 options of lip balm….
A moment in life when you thought nothing could get better?
Without sounding cliche it was a moment on wedding day. I remember looking around just before dinner and feeling so grateful, like my Pinterest board had become a reality. All my friends and family together in Mallorca having the best time.
Your biggest achievement?
It goes without saying that my two girls are something I am most proud of but when I first started working as a freelance fashion stylist after waitressing to get by while assisting for next to nothing I felt like I had really achieved what I wanted in life at that time.
Biggest adulting fail or most embarrassing moment?
Oh god, I feel like there’s probably a lot of these….you should ask this question to my sister and I’m sure she would reel them off!
Your happy place?
Right now, it’s actually at home. We renovated our house when our eldest was a baby and lived in it throughout and it was really tough at times. I love to travel but I’m always happy when I walk through our front door.
Advice to your younger self?
Comparison is the thief of joy. Just do you. (I still have to remind myself of this now)
Hardest lesson to learn?
Hardest lesson to learn?*
Not everyone will like you, and that’s ok. It doesn’t make you any less of a person.
Who is your biggest inspiration?
I really do get inspired by people daily. Often mums, now I understand what an all encompassing role it is whether they’re back working or at home with the kids the juggle is real! It makes me think about everything my mum did for me, there’s so much you don’t appreciate at the time.
Something you're passionate about right now?
For me personally, it’s finding a balance of motherhood and work. My career is a huge part of who I am and I miss that side of me, so I’m working on sussing that out.
