FASHION & BEAUTY Mood Boards Now that you have been settled somewhere else for a couple of years, what do you wish you could go back and tell yourself? I would tell myself to really make the most of those first few weeks in my new city, to not be nervous about the future and just focus on enjoying the present. There’s nothing more amazing than those first few exciting yet terrifying and completely exhilarating weeks, where everything you do gives you butterflies in your stomach and the simplest things such as getting on the bus make you feel like the luckiest person in the world. As soon as you settle in and start work then real life and routine takes over and brings you back down to earth, but those first few weeks… nothing else compares to it. How would you describe your style? I think my style is a mixture of indie and relaxed-chic. I love experimenting with my outfits and I’m like an open book when it comes to fashion, you’ll know right away what mood I’m in by what I’m wearing. I love anything oversize and effortless, and because I spend most of my time in East London, my style has definitely evolved to incorporate a lot of vintage pieces, texture clashing and a hint of grunge. What is your favourite Instagram account and why? I love Instagram for health, fitness and fashion inspiration and it’s often the first thing I check in the morning to get me out of bed and to the gym. I have a bit of a girl crush on @mslbingle so that would have to be one of my favourite guilty pleasure accounts to follow. How would you describe your Instagram mood board? Relaxed, urban and effortless.
