To date, it\u2019s been classic with a relaxed edge. My wardrobe has timeless pieces that work hard; I\u2019m not into fast fashion and I appreciate interesting textures and tailoring. I\u2019m at a point where I\u2019m asking some of those big life questions and redefining my style has been part of that. Now, I\u2019m leaning more into colour. <a class=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brisbanetimes.com.au\/national\/from-princess-diana-to-cher-how-dopamine-dressing-has-hit-the-ski-slopes-20260514-p5zwr8.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dopamine dressing<\/a> really does make you feel good.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the oldest thing in your wardrobe? A little Gucci bag a boyfriend gave me when I was 21.<\/p>\n<p>And the most recent addition? A pink cashmere sweater and blue pinstripe cotton shirt from Jac + Jack. I love the quiet luxury of their designs.<\/p>\n<p>What would you wear \u2026 on a first date? A silk cami, Henne jeans, a bomber jacket and Alias Mae kitten slingbacks. \u2026 on a plane? Linen pants, an oversized Anine Bing tee, Uniqlo cashmere sweater and Adidas \u201cGazelle\u201d sneakers. \u2026 on the red carpet? A gown by Anna Quan or Christopher Esber.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your favourite fashion era? I love the ease of the \u201970s \u2013 they had great denim, silk shirts and cool tailoring.<\/p>\n<p>Who are your favourite designers?

I also love Boteh\u2019s flowy, summery designs and VRG GRL is fun, feminine and edgy.<\/p>\n<p>Do you wear fragrance? It doesn\u2019t sit well with me. Being a nutritionist, when I\u2019m thinking through my morning routine, I\u2019m more \u201cWhat food can I put into me to make me feel amazing?\u201d than \u201cWhat fragrance can I put on me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What are three essential items in your wardrobe? A beautiful shirt, a Camilla and Marc blazer and jeans \u2013 Zara, Citizens of Humanity and Henne all do good jeans for tall people.<\/p>\n<p>Any go-to jewellery?

I grew up on Sydney\u2019s northern beaches and we spent a lot of time sailing on Pittwater. Mum had an amazing collection of sarongs from the Philippines and I loved the feeling of being wrapped up in them.

I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve had a big fashion moment, but what I would say is that I\u2019m really leaning into what this stage of life means and what fashion represents for me at this point. I\u2019m beyond caring what people think now I\u2019m in my 40s.<\/p>\n<p>And your worst fashion mistake? In the mid-2000s, when I was living in Colorado, I got wrapped up in all the bad noughties fashion.

I travel a lot and a Bottega Veneta \u201cIntrecciato Duffle\u201d bag would hit the spot.<\/p>\n<p>Is there something you\u2019d never wear? Stilettos. I\u2019m almost six foot and I like to engage and talk to people, which doesn\u2019t work when you\u2019re really high up.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a current fashion trend you like? I love all the suiting.<\/p>\n<p>What do you sleep in? Silk or cotton pyjamas from Marcia Leone\u2019s label, Not So Mumsy.<\/p>\n<p>What shoes do you wear most often?
