I AM WEARING a dress from an op shop, I think the shoes are Wittner, I've had them for years, and the bag's Marimekko. I love it because I'm obsessed with Marimekko, they're amazing. My sunglasses are from Country Road. I just liked how bright and colourful this outfit was when I was going out today.

MY STYLE IS I usually try and wear something that's a bit different, so I like a lot of older stuff. I also find the cut of older styles suit me better than modern ones.

I ADMIRE THE STYLE OF Alexa Chung, I think she's lovely.

MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO SHOP would mostly be op shops, especially in the country, where there are lots of good ones. Marimekko, when I can afford it. And just wandering around Brunswick and Smith Streets you can always find something lovely.

MY BIGGEST FASHION MISTAKE WAS over coordinating, and there was a bad lime-green outfit when I was younger.

WHEN I WAS A KID jelly sandals and adorable dresses that I wish were still my size.

I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD IN sneaker wedges.
