WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO SHOOT IN LONDON?

There are many beautiful locations to shoot in London, however my favourite has to be Notting Hill. I love shooting there as it’s so distinctive and an iconic part of the city. During the spring and summer months, it has the most beautiful cherry blossom and magnolia trees, which provide the perfect backdrop for amazing photos.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE NEEDLE & THREAD LOOK FOR SUMMER

This is a very hard question as I adore every single Needle & Thread outfit that I own. If I had to choose just one, it would be the matching Florence Ruffle Ankle Skirt and Bow Stitch Cropped Cardigan in lilac. Not only do I love how the bow motifs on the cropped cardigan complement the skirt, but also the soft, pretty hue as, for me, pastel shades represent the start of spring.

WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR STYLE INSPIRATION?

Most of my style inspiration comes from art, flowers and film characters that I admire. My top priority when styling is elegance and modesty. Another important factor is the colour of the outfit; I generally stick with nude and pastels, as this palette creates a peaceful and calm mood, which I like to project through my images and personality.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A FASHION INFLUENCER?

My family and friends were always interested in my sense of style, and I was frequently asked questions about where I bought my outfits from and how I styled my looks. I didn’t realise how much I enjoyed inspiring people and, as my Instagram following grew, it turned into something I wanted to pursue. Through my Instagram feed, I’m able to showcase my vision to a wider audience. My dedicated followers inspire me to create beautiful content every day.
