What inspires me: EVERYTHING! I love retro style and drawing inspo from all things pre loved. I’m a sucker for colour and clean lines.
Sunglasses Style: LOVE L7003S in Tokyo Tortoise
I think glasses should be an accessory just as much as a necklace or hat. If you’ve got to be vision impaired, why not do it well?!
My glasses collection consists of: Six pairs (not enough).
I chose the pair of glasses I’m wearing because: They are some of the very rare, excellent prescription frames. I have struggled to find price-friendly prescription sunnies that are any good, until I found Clearly.
A tip on picking out the perfect pair of frames is: I wing it. I’d love to give some profound answer but basically, I have big eyes and a huge face, so I like to get big frames. I feel like it might drown out some of that cheek chub. Also, people won’t notice a double chin if your glasses are big enough- right?!
Glasses are an important part of your outfit because: Generally your face is what people look at when talking to you. Unless you’ve got an awesome rack. I think glasses should be an accessory just as much as a necklace or hat. If you’ve got to be vision impaired, why not do it well?!
My favourite online source for style inspiration is: I love ASOS! I also think sportsgirl can do no wrong. But generally I make it up.
My favourite fashion trend of the moment is: I am really enjoying clashing styles and eras. Like a street tee with a vintage floral blazer. Or some boho harem pants with an Adidas jacket. The weirder the better.
If I could go on holiday with anyone in the world, it would be: My bestie. Or my husband. But probably the bestie. I wouldn’t want to be holidaying with anyone I didn’t know, how would I relax?!
I would describe my personal style as: Wayward.
My current style muse is: @clairlily. She’s the most radical.
Favourite city to go shopping is: Melbourne. Because I’ve only ever been to Melbourne apart from my home city.
Final word: You can pull off anything if you do it confidently. Except maybe Birkenstocks.
