We would curate photoshoots, Coco styling and I would do the photography (I was also a photographer in a former life) and I am so proud to have seen all the amazing things she has built and I know you will be just as inspired.

Start your outfit planning by day. Think about how you are feeling today, what is your mood of the day? Do you feel feminine and pretty? Add a frill to your outfit, perhaps add a frilly blouse.

5 favourite designers and why? 

I always find this question hard, I am a Gemini and change my mind often. It always depends on each season and what the designers have to offer. I look at the collection and how I can relate to it. How it makes me feel.

For example, this year, Oscar De La Renta had a very unique twist to the norm. Oscar is known for exquisite gowns passing through the runway. This year, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia brought culture to the vibe. Through their majestic collection, they showcased royal shades of mulbuerry red, white, emerald green, deep terracotta and shades of brown. I loved how sophisticated the looks where with gorgeous tailoring with menswear checks. I can talk about this forever, but I think you got my point.

As for other brands this season, I always adore Chanel, it will be interesting to see what Virgine Viard has for us next.

Fendi’s collection was deliciously stunning!! So refined and very lady like.

I love Victoria Beckham, always brings a touch of edge to the chicness. This is something I always relate to. Her collections are powerful yet, so sophisticated. Very versatile, wearable and can go from the office to dinner. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Valentino,so much love for Valentino. Ever since I was a little girl. I loved every detail, every fabric, every shade, especially their vibrant red. Always so dreamy with such intricate detailing. This season I am loving the dark romance theme and the capes that Pierpaolo Piccioli created.
