My personal style can be defined as: Street, casual, sporty and tomboy.

An unforgettable place I visited was: Mykonos. I love Mykonos! For the people, the food, the beaches, the hotels, the nightlife … it’s got it all.
Next place I’d like to go to: Longitude at Ayers Rock (6 star glamping), in Australia. I’m now finding local and national places to visit – exploring my own backyard.

An indulgence I would never give up is: Cookies and Cream Connoisseur Ice-cream
If I had to limit my shopping to one neighbourhood in one city it would be: It would be an equal tie between Sydney’s Bondi Beach and Paddington.
My style icon is: The Attico Girls (Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini) and Clara Berry.
The best book I’ve read in the last year is: 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Weist.. I have sooooo many books on my coffee table to tackle, but I just keep re-reading this book.
I can’t miss an episode of: Riverdale.
In my fridge you’ll always find: Tahini, hommus, tabouleh, lemons, blueberries, raspberries, fresh dates, cashews, boiled eggs, sriracha mayo, baby carrots and bone broth. My daily staples.

The best gift I ever received was: Hmmm I don’t get too many gifts, lol.

My favourite pampering treatment is: It’s a close call between acupuncture, hydration facials and infrared saunas.
