What’s the newest piece in your wardrobe?
A tan faux leather trench from Weekday. It’s such a cool-girl staple and I love how it adds a fresh twist to my winter wardrobe.
What’s the biggest bargain you’ve stumbled across?
My knitted dress from Nanushka that I managed to nab in the sale – it’s the perfect winter piece for my wardrobe that’s so easy to throw on and go, whilst looking super chic.
What was the biggest waste of money?
I wouldn’t say there’s anything in particular in my wardrobe that’s been a waste of money at the moment. Over the past few years, I’ve definitely learned to stay away from particular trend-led pieces and shop for items that can be worn different ways with multiple outfits. For me, it’s all about getting as much wear out your clothes as you can!
What item could you never bear to get rid of?
I’m really fussy when it comes to find the perfect pair of winter ankle boots – the height of the heel and top is really important. I found my perfect pair from Office years ago and am constantly getting them re-heeled as I’ve never found a pair that fit and feel as good. They really are on their last legs!
What are your three favourite pieces?
My Daily Sleeper linen dress – I lived in it during the summer. It’s such a feel-good piece in my wardrobe and always makes me feel my best when I wear it. My Rixo ‘Winnie’ dress, it’s flattering and fun. And my Levi’s ribcage jeans, which are hands down, the best fitting jeans I’ve ever had for my shape.
What’s the most practical item in your wardrobe?
My oversized black coat from Cos. I wear it all the time, every year. It’s such an investment piece and a classic.
What’s the most outrageous item in your wardrobe?
My style is very much timeless, feminine and fun, so I’m not sure if there’s any outrageous item in my wardrobe per-se but if I had to choose it would be my two-tone midi dress from Stine Goya. It’s very different from anything else in my wardrobe but it’s absolutely stunning!
What are you currently saving for?
Anything and everything from Joseph fashion. I love the quality of this brand and their pieces are not only contemporary but so luxurious!

During my late teens in Australia, every girl I knew wanted to wear Zimmermann. We’d save up for months, squirrelling away money from our part-time jobs in order to purchase the perfect dress for our school dances, milestone birthdays and ...
