What’s your morning routine before work?

Brush my teeth, shower, 10 minute skincare regime, green tea and breakfast with my husband whilst also going through what we have on each of our agendas for the day, and then I get started with work.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning?

It all depends on what meetings I have throughout the day and also if I have client bookings. If I don’t have client bookings then I can wear something smart with heels for my meetings. If I have client bookings I take my espadrilles with me so I’m smart yet comfy!

Three items you can’t live without?

Brow shader, iPhone and Chanel espadrilles.

Favourite place you like to go to in Dubai?

The Walk, JBR.

What did you do last night?

I created the hair and make-up on a lead classical singer for the Stephan Moccio concert at Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi. I was kindly invited to watch the concert with my husband, which was incredible!

Complete the sentence: My perfect holiday would be…

In the Maldives with my husband.

What book are you reading at the moment?

Your current style inspiration?

Gigi Hadid and Jessica Alba have great casual style.

Who would you like to be stuck on a desert island with?
