My followers are people who, by and large, share the things that I enjoy: travel, city living, beautiful interiors, museums, and always a good cup of coffee!

How would you describe your style, image, storytelling?

I enjoy what I do and really don’t think I have a particular style yet. It is work in progress and I’d rather have my followers define it.

Everywhere, anywhere, and sometimes by simply looking at a magazine to see the latest trends.

Life and how precious it is.

I like Audrey Hepburn's quote: “nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m possible.”
