How would you describe your personal style in 3 words or less?
Unintentional 70's minimal. (I thought about that one a lot ha ha). But truly, I don't know, I'm still figuring it out! I dress in different ways all the time but somehow I always end up looking a little 70's, a little retro. So try as I might to head away from boho, my style tends to constantly find its way back there.
We see much of your time has been spent in European summer recently. What's a destination that left a lasting impression on you, and can you share any must-visit spots?
We've been away over two months now and so far the Costa Brava in Spain - namely Pala Frugell - has been my top pick. Bays upon bays of soft pebble beaches, amazing coastlines, hikes and friendly locals.
How do you choose the perfect pair of sunglasses for different occasions, whether you're travelling, attending an event, or just running errands?
I would say pick a classic with a twist. For example, pick a style that you know looks good on you; and then choose something slightly different about it - a more definitive cat eye, a different colour, tinted lens etc. That way you're comfortable in the style, and the specs will either add to a dressy outfit or spice up an everyday one.
You seem to juggle motherhood, work, and travel effortlessly! What tips do you have for maintaining balance amidst your busy lifestyle?
I truly don't haha. It's a bit kitsch, but the saying of 'comparison is the thief of joy' really bares true. We're all just having a crack at life in the best way we can. I think priority is key to a truly happy life; and for me that's always family. If I'm ever stressed, I come back to my husband and child, put on loud music and have a dance party. The rest is just noise.
How do you draw inspiration for your content while travelling and exploring new places?
How do I not?! The world is beautiful and painful and confusing and wonderful. An endless ocean of inspiration!
Are there any sunglass styles you think everyone should have in their collection? And can you share your current must-have pair?
I really would suggest choosing a pair that suits your face and building from there, instead of following trends (this is speaking from a past serial-trend-follower!). I've spent too much money on sunglasses I never wear! In saying that, the new Jacquemus Galas in burgundy are a new colour for me and I'm in love! I also love the new Miu Miu styles.
