What fashion trend are you loving right now?
I don't know if I’d actually wear them, but i think Micro shorts are so cute!!
What’s a trend you think should make a comeback?

Skinny jeans
What’s your favourite way to accessorize an outfit?
A cool chunky necklace or fun earrings

Re-wearing a statement piece but in different ways. I don't see the point of wearing a piece once in a blue moon. I like finding ways to style the same piece differently every time. You own the piece it doesn't own you.

Miista, Desigual, Ganni, Jacquemus and Vivienne Westwood
What are your favourite local brands?
Nush, MGMP, Myne, and Studio H of course!!

As much as I love a fun summer fit and all the outfit deets that go with it, I would have to say winter. There way more room to style and layer pieces.

Perfect pair of not too baggy jeans, a white oversized button up, colored long tanks, everyday handbag, and a good pair of earrings.

Cool layered necklaces, cute beach bags/clutches, sunnies, and sparkly tops for the night

Funky loose pants, sunnies, and a fun necklace

The naughty nineties. So so cool, like that Rachel Green and Monica Geller vibe
What's your favourite color to wear?
White or black
What’s your advice for someone who wants to break their way into the fashion world
Try finding pieces that are a bit out of your comfort zone and have a dress up sesh where you style yourself with the pieces you have and make something out of nothing.
How have your surroundings helped you get to where you are today?
I think growing up around women that dressed outside of the box shaped my personal style! As for modeling, I'm super grateful for my career and how it began. It helped me grow as a person and learn a lot about self management.
What’s your favourite Studio H piece and why?
The pink sequin skirt, so so cute. Can work casually with a basic white tee or dressed up for an evening party

White tank with sneakers or ballerinas.
What vibe do you feel Studio H embodies?
Uniqueness and love!!!

I can find pieces at Studio H that aren’t everywhere, which fits my personal style, and the pieces can be styled in different cute ways.
How would you describe Studio H in 3 words?
Cool, young, cute
How do you make a statement with your outfit?
Mix casual with over the top. Like a super out there skirt or pair of pants with a tee or tube top.
What's your favourite type of shoe to wear?
Sneakers, like a New Balance or comfy Asics.
How do you stay confident in your fashion choices?
Look good feel good, feel good look good
Do you incorporate any vintage pieces in your wardrobe, and if so where do you source them from?
Yes!! Thrifting from different places, whether its tops, pants or jewelry. Recently I thrifted such a cool vest.

Don't repeat pieces
What's your favourite way to experiment with fashion?
Styling vintage pieces, keeping the fit basic but cool, and experimenting with materials
What's your favourite piece of fashion advice to give?
I honestly love a baggy on baggy fit. Also, if you have a short torso, go for low rise jeans with long tops, it elongates your waist.
How do you incorporate trends into your classic pieces?
With jewelry
How do you keep your style unique and true to yourself?
I don't shop fast fashion, or very rarely at least.
How do you use fashion to express your personality?
Feeling good in my outfit is everything to me, I use my fashion to express my feelings. Having a good fit on definitely affects your mood positively
What’s the best part about being featured as a Studio H fashion it girl?
So honoured to be sharing my thoughts and opinions, don't feel like I do that as often as I’d like to. Thanks Studio H!!!!!
