How do you like to start your weekend?
I like to start my weekend by doing something totally relaxing like watching movies in bed with the electric blanket on when it’s winter, or having a glass of wine with a close friend.
What’s your favourite thing to do on a Saturday morning?
Walking up Mount Coot-tha or a game of tennis.
How do you like to unwind?
A trip to the coast or sewing.
What are your essentials for a well-spent weekend?
Bikini (that means I’m off to the beach) and a face mask (love that purifying feeling it gives you).
What’s something you’ve been meaning to do on the weekend but haven’t got around to yet?
I’ve been meaning to paint my mannequin for a while and draw some more pictures for the empty frames in my room, but you have to be in the right mood for these things.

Eat pasta.

Definitely Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival.
What are you reading at the moment?
I’ve always got a few books on the go at the same time – fiction and non-fiction. On the fiction side I’m reading The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and then there’s my non-fiction Services Marketing and Marketing Research.
What inspires you?
Love – I’m a hopeless romantic … And art in all types and forms – fabrics, fashion, paintings.

To be a model.
What has been your greatest achievement?
There have been a few, but being the face of MBFF has been up there. I’m also very proud of my label, Friends of the Heart.

Success is being in a space where you are totally happy with where you are in life. It is a very individual experience and will mean different things to different people.
