My mother is the bravest human being I've ever come across.

I would love to go for a bob. I want to do the chop and go drastic.

I love maxi dresses, I feel so great when I put on a maxi dress, big earrings and sandals.

I'm not used to going out every single night, which you can do in New York.

I love to shut out the world sometimes and hibernate.

My home has a split personality. Some of the rooms are very French antique. Think Aubusson rugs, turquoise ceramic jugs, sandbag pillows, and broken birdcages. The other half is very Aztec. Neon ikat fabric pillows, vintage books piled up to the ceiling, and shutters from Bali.

Know your colours. It's all about your complexion and your tones. I now only use brown, taupe and copper, as they suit my blue eyes. When you're younger no one really teaches you - you just slap on the bronzer and you're not really thinking about what's going to complement your features.
