Ice Breakers

Born and raised: Wanganui, New Zealand. Raised in Sydney, Australia
Currently living: Los Angeles, CA
Known for: Being the life of the party
Personal motto: The best things in life are on the opposite side of fear
Success is: Happiness. I’ve always believed that success isn’t measured by how much money you make but by how much you enjoy what you do
Advice I would give my 20-year-old self: Dh goodness!!! So many things… Take risks, be fearless, be outspoken, get out of your comfort zone
People are surprised that I: Have six siblings
The biggest risk I’ve taken that actually paid off: Quitting my amazing full-time job in Sydney and moving my life to LA and literally starting again
I’m most proud of: The risks I’ve taken. They always pay off and it takes so much courage to take them in the first place. Leaping is the hardest part but there’s always something to catch you if you’re open to it.
My most used emoji is: 💃🏼

Thanks for an epic night @australiansinfilm loved hanging out with my fellow countrymen.

Wardrobe

How do you stay current on trends: I don’t really believe in trends so much. Fashion generally has an 8 year cycle and then it all comes back around again so just dress how you feel
Describe your style: My style is pretty chic and minimal. I LIVE in black. On the odd occasion, I like to wear a print or something a bit more edgy it for the most part it’s pretty minimal

Fav thing to splurge on: I don’t really splurge on anything other than flights back to New Zealand to see my family
Swimwear: I love a good one piece. Square neckline, high cut! There’s so many good swim labels out there
Shoes: My Gucci fur loafers. They go with EVERYTHING
Sunglasses: I have SO many and there are so many great labels out there but my fave pair I’ve ever owned is a pair of black Saint Laurent cat eyes
