WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE NEEDLE & THREAD STYLE FOR THIS SEASON?

My favourite Needle & Thread style for this season is the Eliza Sequin Ankle Length Dress. I love the pastel sequin colours; it looks so romantic and can be worn for many different occasions. It has a beautiful elegant V-neck and feminine silhouette which flatters the body so well. I wore it to a wedding recently and felt like a princess! I already can’t wait to wear it for a 2021 summer holiday.

WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER ONE STYLE TIP?

My number one style tip is to stay true to your own style and wear what suits your body and personality best, rather than following a trend. Try to minimise your closet with your favourite and key pieces and build your wardrobe around this.

HOW ARE YOU FINDING JOY IN THESE STRANGE TIMES?

I feel incredibly grateful for my family. They keep my mind off negativity. Also, as an overthinker, what really helped me is to let go of the things I can’t control. This has really made my mind more peaceful and positive in these difficult times.

NUMBER ONE BEAUTY TIP?

You should always find time for your skin care routine! For soft and glowing skin, make time to exfoliate and deep cleanse at least once a week. Also, I once heard that wrinkles don’t necessarily make you less youthful, but pigmentation spots do. So, to embrace your inner youth, you should apply SPF on your face every day, even when the sun’s not shining!

HOW AND WHY DID YOU PURSUE A CAREER AS A FASHION INFLUENCER?

I graduated in media & entertainment management and was always so fascinated in the media production and social media industry, and how companies were integrating social media into their strategies. After graduating, I started posting content of my daily holiday looks and that’s when brands started noticing me. I realised to be truly authentic I only wanted to work with brands I really loved and admired. My goal as a fashion influencer is to show my followers that you achieve anything on your own when you’re hard working and self-aware. Aware of the things you love, your values, and your qualities.
