Q – Hello how are you today?
A – Great! I have just returned from a trip to Paris. It was really inspirational – the Parisians certainly have a distinct and sophisticated style. I love that they are so understated and all about good quality clothing. I spent many hours people-watching and drinking chocolat viennois (hot chocolate with whipped cream – yum).
Stolen Thunder…
Q- What is your favourite piece from Stolen Thunder’s current collection?
A – I am torn between two – the gold rose ring and the typewriter necklace. Both are very antique inspired and ornate. Being a journalist, the typewriter appeals to my personality and the ring appeals to the more romantic side of me.
Q- What outfit would you style up using Stolen Thunder Jewellery? (Stolen Thunder jewellery / clothing / shoes etc!)
A –I would wear an off the shoulder fitted grey top with black leather pants and ankle boots – simple and edgy. And then style it up with some layered jewellery such as the wishbone necklace and the horseshoe necklace together and on my fingers wear the wishbone ring and the snake ring. Very rock chick indeed.
Q – What do you most enjoy about being a fashion blogger?
A –I love that I am solely representing my opinion and my view of the world – whether I am inspired by film, music, travel or street style. I choose the content and there is no pressure. Writing is a very enjoyable experience for me so people reading and liking the blog is just an added bonus!
Style and Fashion…
Q – What is the best piece of fashion advice you have received?
A – Dress for your shape. I think that is the most basic but important advice – you can’t beat yourself up if a certain trend or look doesn’t suit you. Fashion is so versatile and there are so many looks – find what works for you.
Q- Who is your style icon and why?
A – Olivia Palermo because she has that Upper East Side NYC polished look yet she gives it an edge with unusual accessories and colour combinations. Also she is not afraid of bright colours and patterns which so many people can be.
Q – What key pieces do you think every girl needs in her wardrobe?
A – A great fitted blazer, a leather jacket, skinny jeans, leather trousers, a black dress, oversized shirt, black ankle boots and a big clutch bag. Now you can mix and match all these depending on the occasion!
Q-If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
A – I really love city lifestyle – fast paced and bustling. It inspires me every day – big cities make you feel independent and confident. I moved to London from Ireland so it is a dream for me to live here. After this, New York perhaps!
Q – What piece of clothing/jewellery could you not live without?
A – I love to buy big statement necklaces and at the moment I have one from Topshop that is really cool – silver, gold and ivory detail. It can really funk up a simple jumper or top and makes an outfit more memorable. For now, this is my “cannot live without” piece but it constantly changes.
Q – If you could be any animal for the day what would you choose to be and why?
A – I would choose to be a white tiger because they are so beautiful and regal. Also because the female tiger plays a very important role in her group guarding the territory and minding the cubs. She is seen as strong and intelligent by the male tigers and thus is very powerful.
Q – If you’ve had a bad day :-( what song will make you smile :-) again?
A – Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra. It’s also on the soundtrack to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which is one of my favourite films.
My Day…
Q – Send us a picture from your day
A – I just got back from Paris so here is a photo I took this morning of a patisserie (cake shop). I love how the French have shops for everything – no generic shops with a bit of everything like in the UK – all their shops are very specialist.
Q – What would you like to ask Stolen Thunder?
A – Where does thunder go once it’s been stolen?
A – We turbo charge it and send it back! x

Actually, I’ve changed my mind… I think Mexican Wine by Fountains of Wayne would be better!
