What made you set up your own business?
Both my parents own their Businesses. I grew up surrounded by Business, our dining room table was the boardroom so I always knew I had choices from a very early age.
Who is your style icon?
Absolutely Sarah-Jessica Parker she's a true example of a woman with Style !
What are your tips for hot trends for AW13?
Has to be Dresses I am absolutely loving the fabric mixing coming through from soft fine silk to heavy suede and knitwear. Gone are the days of separate wardrobes for every occasion. Life is an occasion and we deserve to dress for it ladies so it's all about how to wear those dresses with the change of weather later in the year, lets be hot and practical it is possible!
Team a silk or satin dress, knitted cardigan belted at the waist with a wide leather belt. Have a great range of tights for these I'd buy from a specialist store rather than a general retailer, it will be a few pounds more and it will last much much longer for you to enjoy plus you'll avoid the irritated tight skin thing many of us have experienced.
Make sure you have some great leather or suede boots. This is absolutely worth investing in for the season they will work with many looks, dresses, skirts, jeans and leggings in your wardrobe.
If you buy high quality boots, personally I love the Italian designers, they will last much much longer over multiple seasons in all weather. Anything above £170 if you don't have the budget for this that's okay, lower price ones do last however they may start to leak in the rain as the glue dissolves on the sole, leading to soggy feet. In this case I would go for a wedged pair so that when the ground is cold or wet your feet stay dry and cosy. Fit flop are the best alternative to UGG. Similar price point however much better for your feet and back, tried and tested by the royal we of course! Again it's an investment piece and so so worth it long term.
Accessories with snoods this year make sure you have a couple you can double layer on the colder days and snoods are genius emergency hair protection if you get caught in un-expected rain.
Finally big earrings. Get some gorgeous and fab earrings to wear all day and all night these will look super hot under your wooly hats and you will feel so much shinier and smiley through the darker winter months.
