What inspired you to be an Oceana Walk Arcade Fashion Ambassador? Who could say no to an opportunity to be pampered and wear some beautiful outfits from some of Cairns' best fashion stores! I know so many ladies who are extremely time-poor, and may not have the opportunity to get into town, like myself. I hope this identifies Oceana Walk as a fashion precinct in Cairns for locals who are looking for unique, one-off, vintage or designer fashion, for not only the Racing Carnival, but all year round. How do you like to enjoy the racing season? My outfits are always last minute ideas, and with the amazing selection of fashions available at Oceana Walk, this can be quite easy to do. Which store/s do you particularly like to visit in Oceana Walk Arcade? This Arcade is quite amazing and the shopping is fantastic. I do love Gypsett and Vivienne Francine, but Eggplant & Poppy is such a fun store with so many different ideas. No matter which store you visit, you will find something that just stands out.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase some of the best parts of Cairns, and combines my two favourite things - fashion and socialising. My favourite part of living in Cairns is the unique lifestyle we lead. There’s nowhere like it on earth, which means different culture, fashions, trends, etc. How do you enjoy the racing season? The racing season in Cairns is one of the most exciting times of the year. I always make sure my hair is prepared for the many social events that occur before, during and after the races. This year, as part of my Social Butterfly role, not only do I have to attend the Cairns Cup events, but also the events that my sponsors have already booked in. Which store/s do you particularly like to visit in Oceana Walk Arcade? Gypsett, Vintage Seeker, Vivienne Francine and Pantry 15 are my favorites.
