I AM a retail sales consultant.
I AM WEARING shoes from Camper, a dress from Eva's Sunday, which is just on Brunswick Street. My jacket is from Bruce, a vintage clothing store around the corner on Gertrude Street. My bag is from Kloke on Brunswick Street.
MY STYLE IS varied, with monochrome palettes and simple patterns.
I ADMIRE THE STYLE OF one of my friends who is of a similar age bracket to me and is one of the most stylish people I know. I really like how she puts pieces together from various parts of the world. She has a great eye for different textures and fabrics. She wears lots of beautiful scarves.
MY FAVOURITE PLACES TO SHOP … I tend to get a lot of pieces secondhand and from eBay. I really enjoy going to Recycle Boutique on Sydney Road.
MY BIGGEST FASHION MISTAKE WAS when I crimped my hair so much that it broke.
WHEN I WAS A KID I WORE … I grew up in the mountains in Papua New Guinea. I wore whatever my mum managed to make me as there were no shops. I didn't wear shoes until I was about 12.
I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD IN hot pants.
