What do you think is the key to being a fashion influencer on Instagram? As more and more people are joining the industry - what helps to stand out?

Fashion is my hobby I love buying clothes, piecing together outfits and creating content for brands, it’s such a dream come true. I think because I enjoy it so much and I’m so grateful to be in the position that I am that I put a lot of effort into producing high-quality content for the brands I work with. This helps me to get recognised by other brands! I always ensure that my content is what my followers want to see. I love sharing outfit ideas and cute pieces with them. I really love interacting with them through polls and comments to get the best idea of what they are interested in seeing!

What is your favourite statement item of clothing in your wardrobe right now?

I’m so obsessed with monochrome outfits at the moment - I’ve been living in the Zara coloured jeans.

What are you most looking forward to wearing in Spring/Summer 2021?

For Spring Summer 2021 I’m most looking forward to wearing summer dresses! I prefer girly outfits so I can’t wait for the sun to come back out so I can get my summer dresses back out!

What is one trend you are loving currently?

One trend that I am loving at the moment is any piece with a fun print or design! I love wearing a statement item and then coordinating my outfit around its pattern/colour, I’ve been seeing a lot of Hawaiian print recently which is deffo one of my faves.

Lastly, which trend can you not get behind at all?

To be completely honest I’m really enjoying all the trends that I’ve seen so far this season, I always find that at first I’m iffy on certain things and then I see someone styling it really well, I’m sold!
