How would you describe your personal style? 

"Feminine. I try to go for a combination of chic, sexy and whimsical across my outfits. My obsession with colours and shopping at a very young age started my journey into fashion. Yes, my wardrobe has style has evolved over the past few years - and I definitely dress more for comfort now.

Your go-to wardrobe essential? 

"I really love my denim. My ideal outfit for everyday wear would have to be a denim dress. Where do I get my outfits from? All over! I get anything that catches my eye. Typically, I've always gone for more maxi and midi dresses, skirts and crop tops."
