Describe your personal style. Mood dependent. More often
than not, I lean towards relaxed clothing and lots of natural
fibres like linen and cotton, regardless of being terrible at
ironing (terrible, because I never do it!).
How has your style changed over the years? My wardrobe
has always been inf luenced by my location — in Melbourne,
everything I wore was black, which made things easy. Then in
London, everything came from Benetton or Gap because I was
nannying and my clothes needed to be nice but not precious.
In Sydney I started to wear more colour and, because I was
working in TV, things got a bit fancier — and less comfortable!
Now you’re in the Barossa Valley, but travel to Sydney and
Bangkok. What do you never leave home without? Linen
and cotton dresses and skirts, that can be worn with or
without tights, jeans than can be worn with or without heels,
a plain white shirt and cotton scarves. I’m terrible at packing
shoes though, so I always come home with more pairs than
I left home with. Reading that back, it does sound more like
an unconscious shopping strategy...
What are your winter must-haves? I love layering clothes
so I keep to a neutral colour palette and then everything
will match (I can hear my friends laughing now because
they know I only wear beige, grey and navy). I love knitting,
too. I’m not necessarily good at it, but I love it, so I’ll do
a new chunky wool scarf for myself each winter.
Where are your favourite places to shop? If I’m local, it’s
Alabaster in the Barossa. They have beautiful brands and
the owner has such a good eye. In Sydney, I love Gorman,
and almost every brand at Collector Store in Surry Hills.
Accessories can make an outfit — do you have a favourite
jewellery brand? Emma and Tom. It’s handmade in the
Barossa with reclaimed olive wood, old wine barrels and
vintage fabrics. She’s one of those effortlessly stylish
people and her jewellery carries that same feeling.
Any shoe brands that you love? I love the R.M. Williams
boots my sister gave me when we moved to London. I was
21 years old. I can definitely call them long-lasting!
What would we find in your beauty cabinet? Aesop skincare
and Aveda make-up. I’ve been loyal to those brands for years
because their products and company philosophies are just
brilliant. And I’m a sucker for beautiful packaging.
What’s the best style advice you’ve received? Pants first,
then shoes. Also, hats make bad hair days non-existent.
