'I don't tend to minimalism in my own life; my favourite colour is shiny!'"
What are you looking forward to wearing now that spring is on the way?
For me, spring means soft dresses and little cardigans, or a kimono, romantic details, and lovely fabrics like silk, cotton and crochet. I also love long tunics over trousers, with embellished flats. Truth be told, I haven't shopped for clothes in ages. I'm shopping my own wardrobe, and it's more than enough! I also follow this fun and inspiring tip I learnt from a fantastic stylist: At the end of every season, pack away the clothes you won't be wearing. Not only does this save space, but when it's time to open the bags again, you'll see your favourite pieces with fresh and appreciative eyes (including what needs a tailor or won't work for you any more).
What is your favourite feel-good outfit?
Whatever the season, I love dresses, from light and floaty to fitted knits. Dresses feel sexy and feminine, and they're easy: no wondering which jacket works over which top, with which trousers and belt, and no layering (even though I admire people who are good at layering). With a dress, all that's needed are the right shoes and some accessories and you're done. That's pretty feel-good in my book!
Tell us about the pieces in your wardrobe that hold the most sentiment.
