My style is… A mix of everything, I’m a simple girl who loves fashion. I pair everything from casual to stylish depending on the occasion and my mood.

When dressing, what is your key to putting clothes together? Mixing my sporty outfit with the stylish for a more different and personal look. Accessories are also a must have, mostly hoops though because they tend to fit well with the look.

I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing… Crocs. I am ok with everything apart from crocs;in my opinionthey have no attractive appeal as far fashion goes.

My favourite fashion line is… House of DerÈon. I absolutely love its creativity and edge. The style is a bit of street hip-hop yet it still comes off as elegant.

I am in love with… Gisele Bundchen’s style. She has extremely good taste and the fact that her clothes complement her and give her a fresh and vibrant chic look.

When I’m done with school and pursuing modelling I would change my look to… A short haircut at the back with heavy bangs on the side and the front and dye it darker for a new polish. It’s a fresh look I’ve never tried before but I would love to.

How did your wardrobe change when you became a model? I didn’t quite change at all, I was and still is very fashionable. My style reflects my personality, and that’s exactly who I want to be, and modelling just gave me greater chance of showing it.

I can’t stop buying… Hoops. They are simple and the same time can go with absolutely anything, whether fancy or not.

When I travel I always carry… My music, hat, earrings, at least one book, toileteries, skinny jeans and a couple of dressy and casual tops.

Style mantra? Fashion is not about what’s in or out, it’s what you make it.
