In your eyes, what’s the most timeless fashion trend that always finds its way back?

Treats, my grooming kit and of course some good boots!

When it comes to boots, which trend remains a staple in your style season after season?

Knee-high boots and I have an endless love affair. They are just so flattering and elevate the most simple of outfits.

What’s the one investment piece in your wardrobe that instantly elevates any outfit?

A well-tailored blazer – it instantly adds structure, polish, and a bit of oomph to any look, whether it’s jeans and a tee or a dress.

No matter where in the world you are, what’s the one beauty ritual you never skip?

Sleek silhouettes with subtle hardware – elegant, minimal, and versatile enough to elevate any outfit while still feeling effortless.

Your wardrobe essentials: which three pieces do you rely on day in, day out?

Jeans, a crisp white shirt, and a little black dress in the summer are the true staples of my wardrobe. They easily take me from day to night, whether I’m running errands or dressing up for an evening out. These timeless pieces are probably my most worn items, offering versatility and a very low cost per wear. Investing in classics like these makes getting dressed both easy and stylish.

⁠If you could borrow anyone’s wardrobe for a week, past or present, whose style are you stepping into?

What boots do you pack for a weekend that includes both morning rides and evening plans?

Knee-high boots! They’re practical for daytime adventures and effortlessly dressy enough to pair with a little black dress for the evening.

What advice would you give to others with a petite frame who want to feel confident in their wardrobe choices, especially when it comes to styling knee-high boots?

Embrace the petite frame, wear clothes that always elongate rather than cut you short and play around with different looks to figure out what suits you best. Opt for knee-high boots with a slim fit and a slight heel for a really flattering look!
