How do you start your day?

I wake up, sit on the top of the stairs with my dog who is always waiting for me and have a cuddle before I go down and let him out and make a hot water and lemon. 

What is your fashion philosophy?

Invest in quality that lasts year after year. 

Can you share a styling trick with us? Or your top tip (fashion, life, anything)?

Always look for items that you can mix and match with existing items in your wardrobe.  I plan outfits in my head with the items I’m looking at . If it doesn’t work with what I have I won’t buy it. 

What / who inspires you?

Everyone, I take my inspiration from so many forms , normal every day people as well as fashion j fencers or people in social media 

How do you unwind?

Go for a walk with my dog. Sit in front of the fire if it’s cold. 

If you could visit anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would it be?

Sri Lanka 

Can you tell us something you discovered recently?

 What is the best part of your job?

Helping others. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.
