• 60’s and 70’s style icons: Audrey Hepburn, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot

SC: What trend are you loving this season?

JC: Ruffles, Stripes: (banker stripes, Seaside stripes), Gingham print and detailed shoulders.

SC: How would you describe your own personal style??

JC: My style is effortless chic with an edge. Fitting and cut are super important to me and I love to bring textures to an outfit or wearing prints.

SC: What do you think will be the big hits fashion wise for next season?

JC: Actually, I did a special post on my blog regarding my Fashion Week coverage for Fall 2017. To be stylish next season, we will need to mix and match trends: such as mixing metallic fabrics with faux fur or velvet with lace, embellished skirts with see-through fabric, etc. Next season will be bold!

SC: Where do you tend to buy your clothes, and why?

JC: I love the French brands: Maje, Iro and Sandro. The style is effortless chic but never boring. Maje is my favourite brand because the cut is perfect for women that are petite like me.
I also love Pinko: it is an Italian brand and their pants are so stylish and fit me so well!
I shop a lot online too on Shopbop, Farfetch and Revolve: they have an amazing selection of styles and brands. I love Everlane for basics and Sezane for an effortlessly chic style. I also go regularly to Zara, Topshop, & Other Stories: they always have the latest trends!

SC: What fashion blogs do you follow?

JC: I read so many blogs, but the ones I read on a regular basis are The Chriselle Factor, Thrifts and Threads, The Ambitionista, The Skinny Confidential, Sincerely Jules, The Blonde Salad and Song of Style.

SC: Do you listen to music when you are getting ready? If yes, what’s your favourite playlist on Spotify?

JC: I use Pandora! I love to listen to Capital Cities, Hotel Costes and Marian Hill

SC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

JC: I would love to have my own online store or lifestyle brand!

SC: What are your home comforts?

JC: My coffee machine! Each time I move, this is the first thing I buy or I bring with me! I am also obsessed with everything from West Elm!

SC: Trainers, what are your favourite?

JC: I love watching the youtube videos of Tracy Anderson, Boho Beautiful and the video of Celebrities trainers on Pop Sugar.

SC: What do you find are the top questions your followers tend to ask you most?

JC: My followers ask me a lot of questions regarding how to style black but they also love to know if I like a place or event I went to or if I recommend to shop at a certain online store.

SC: Pretend you’ve agreed to participate in Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls. You’ve been told that you are only allowed to bring 5 items of clothing (including shoes and swimwear) and 3 beauty products what would you bring?

• Beauty products: my light Argan oil from Josie Maran, my mascara from Tarte Cosmetics (I wear it everyday) and Bioderma micellar water to wash my face.
