What is your favourite meal to cook at home

- 

Pizza — I make it from scratch most Friday evenings and really love the process as an end-of-week wind down. It also helps to have a good bottle of rosé handy.

Where do you buy your clothes/what are your favourite clothing labels right now?

I've learnt over the years to buy clothes when I come across something I love — even if you don't have somewhere to wear it yet, it saves the stress of trying to find that perfect thing when you have an occasion — and also to invest in good-quality and ethically made clothing wherever you can, it lasts longer and you feel great in it. I love Australian brands such as Elk, Yevu, Country Road, Binny Wear, Bared and Sans Beast to name a few.

Where is your favourite place to dine?

We are oh-so-spoilt in Melbourne for amazing food — I could make a long list! I love Di Stasio Citta or closer to home Da Giuseppe, as Italian food is the way to my heart; Johnny's Green Room for a rooftop vibe and favourite cocktail bar — Apollo Inn, it’s tiny and dark and moody and deliciously furnished, with amazing service and impeccable bar food and drinks.

Favourite café?

Merchants Guild or Boosa in Bentleigh East have great coffee.
