What do you do for a living?
I work for the Council.
What are you wearing?
My hat is from French Connection but I bought it from Vinted (an online shop selling pre-loved clothes and accessories). My shirt is from Monki but I also got it on Vinted while my shorts and top are both from Primark. My sandals are from Birkenstock and my sunglasses are from Prada.
How would you describe your style?
I wear what I want, I don’t put too much thought into it. We live in a society where people tend to panic about what to wear but for me it’s just a case of if I like it, I’ll wear it.
Where do you like to shop?
Vinted, it’s amazing. Most of the stuff I buy on there is brand new. For instance the shirt I’m wearing is worth about £50 but I got it for £15.
Where do you find your style inspiration?
Lauren who owns Mount, the cafe in Upperkirkgate, is my style inspiration. She always looks amazing.

My top is a hand me down from my sister’s boyfriend who got it while he was out in the Bahamas working on Pitbull’s yacht (American rapper). My trousers are Adidas from JD Sports. my trainers are from New Balance and my watch is a Casio.

I would say fairly plain, I don’t wear bright patterns. I also prefer cuffed sleeves and fitted clothes rather than the baggy look. If I’m going out for dinner I’ll go for a shirt and jeans.

I would casual/smart for work and at home I can usually be found in T-shirts, shorts and leggings from Lululemon. I also like adding pops of neon colours to my outfits and for my feet I love Birkenstocks
Where do you like to shop?
I love COS, it’s one of my favourite brands. Their clothes are a bit more structured and require some ironing though so I’ve not been wearing this brand lately since having my baby Innes, who is 20-months old. I also love Lululemon, their leggings do cost a bit more but they’re worth it as they last for years. I also like Patagonia as their clothes are good quality. H&M is also great.
Where do you find your style inspiration?
In the street. I used to live in London and I was always hugely inspired by what I would see other people wearing.
