Your style trait.
Everyone has always told me I have a confused sense of style. And whilst it's true that
it's hard to pin me down into one box, or genre, or style- I am 100% certain about who
I am and what I love. My taste is just varied. I'll mix skulls with sequins, spikes
with feathers, deep dark colours with pastels. I like to change outfits with
my accessories. A floaty floral dress can be totally changed with a spike
necklace and some biker boots, and changed again with a dainty
diamond bracelet, some pearl sandals and a silky scarf.
What are you known to wear as a favorite all year round??
Skirts and shorts! I hate the restriction of jeans and trousers and skirts/shorts can be

cooled down with bare legs for the summer or you can keep toasty with funky
tights and leggings during the colder months.

What are you wearing today?
I live in Malta where it's insanely hot. It can be hard knowing what to wear for the office, I
want to keep cool but hot pants and skimpy tops are a no no for work. I have to keep
it comfy and cooling whilst still wanting to add some colour and make sure the outfit
is 'me'. Here I've paired a pastel mint green vest top from New Look 915 (for just
€4.50) with a dipped hem black skirt from EBay. Both items are loose
and floaty but still smart and still very ME!

Your Favorite Trends /Style Era
Part of me wishes we still dressed as Victorians- they were so proper, but so
beautiful and intricate. I also love a 20s iinfluence on fashion, with scalloped
edges, fringing and sequins, however my favourite style era has to be right now.
For the first time ever there are no obscure and we're able to just be
ourselves! boundaries, the idea of conformity is becoming .......
Walk Into Your Closet:
What's in your closet..? your favorite staple pieces /
must haves, your go-to favorites
must haves, your go-to favorites
Cropped denim jacket.. It's perfect for the cooler nights in Summer where you just
want something to drape over your shoulders and it'll keep you just warm enough
throughout Spring and Autumn. It really 'makes' an outfit. Dipped hem skirts are
so cute! They're a new take on the maxi/midi skirt and I think they work for
all shapes and sizes. Being little, a maxi skirt can sometimes drown me but this
is the perfect style. It goes with anything and can be dressed up
for the evening or down for the beach!
What Inspires your style..?

What Inspires your style..?
Accessories. I think they are so key in our style. Often I will put on one statement piece
and then dress around it, dress FOR it. It might be a peter pan collar an edgy
hand chain or even hair feathers .. Find items that compliment it,
that clash, that draw focus.
Hells Or Kicks...?
In the Summer, as it's so hot in Malta I live in pretty sandals- sequins, spikes,
pearls- however I feel on that day. For a night out though I like to be glamorous but
comfortable so I turn to my trusty wedges. So much easier to walk in than heels,
cooler than boots and much more dressed up that sandals!..............
Color Safe or Bold..?
Dress for your mood. I have days where I want to keep it
neutral and days where I want to just blow every ones minds...

What's your fashion statement..?
My fashion statement is that- I am me. I don't care whether others will love or
hate it. I wont stick to a certain style, I'll mix it up. I'll do
whatever feels right for me, no compromises.
Do you play it safe? or are you a fashion rebel..?

I really love New Look for affordable fashion with a range of styles. They have
something I don't deliberately rebel but I think the nature of doing whatever
you want is somewhat rebellious in itself. I'm never consciously

more tame, with neutrals or pastels, but other days I might be
covered in skulls and crosses, or mixing neons with crazy prints!

for most tastes and moods with neons, pastels, denim, some edgier bits, some
pretty florals. Ebay is great for items you just can't find anywhere. I searched
high and low for spiked hand chains and found them on my first attempt
on Ebay! ASOS is also good for having a wide
range of styles and items to fit any budget.

Dress Me Like : who are your our style icons..?
Fearne Cotton; She's kinda rocky and edgy but always pretty and put together..
Jessie J; Never afraid to shock or push the boundaries....
Top Shelf : what are you into lately..? nails? colors,hair styles, what's
your top shelf item/fashion trend you are loving the most lately?.
I love nails! I love bright neons and glitter and anything that packs a punch!
I'm really into mixing up my hair right now too. I have naturally curly hair and
love going from Curly Wurly one day to Straight and Sleek the next, then

Style The Mannequin - How You Wear It Best : All
(one favorite focal item you love and can't live without..)
(one favorite focal item you love and can't live without..)
Lipstick is so much more versatile than most people realise and it's perfect
for a natural but put together look in the Summer when you don't want to be
using a hundred different products. I keep the face simple with just a light foundation
(hello Bourjois Healthy Mix!) and some water proof mascara. I then pick a lipstick-
it could be something nude, peachy pink, or fuchsia. I apply a light wash of colour
to the lips and then dab a little on each cheek for blush, and blend with my fingers!
Start of lightly and add more and more until you have your desired strength
of colour. It gives a lovely dewy finish, saves adding yet another product
to your makeup bag and ties your whole look together beautifully
