What are you wearing right now?
A sheer white dress from Australian designer, Albus Lumen. It’s one of my all-time favorite designers and we have so much talent in Australia.
How do you restyle the same outfit for another day?
I love building out a classic wardrobe and creating different looks with accessories like bags, shoes and jewelry. Even changing my hair and make-up goes a long way. I have a lot of blazers, jackets and coats, so I’ll alternate to change my look.
Closet item that has been passed on to you? you will pass on to your children?
My parents donated all of my grandma’s clothing, but I have started my own traditions for when I have a family and will give my children my Panthere de Cartier watch. It’s a forever piece.
Do you uniform dress? If so, what is your go to weekday outfit if you’re running to a casting or audition? Weekend? Night out?
Blue jeans, white tee, black blazer, sneakers. It’s similar to what I wore for our photoshoot! I feel like I’m always in binding clothes, so I love wearing simple outfits during the week for errands.
If you could only wear one outfit for the rest of your life what would it be?
Probably a tailored suit and a white tee with sneakers.
Do you wear a lot of vintage? Favorite spot to buy vintage?
I don’t wear as much vintage as I used to, but I still love going vintage shopping in Tokyo. Amore Vintage is wonderful for second-hand Chanel bags. I also still spend hours searching for things on etsy.com.
What do you do with closet items you have grown tired of?
I donate a lot of my wardrobe. I curate my wardrobe once a year to keep a really small edit of clothing. I don’t believe your wardrobe needs to be big, it just needs to be full of smart investment pieces.
What is one piece every woman should own?
A tailored black blazer. I’m always on the quest to find the perfect tailored blazer. I think there’s nothing sexier than a woman in a power suit, specifically a well-fitting blazer with a strong shoulder and silhouette.
