TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF:

I love all things pinup and vintage inspired and I’ve been living the pinup lifestyle for around 5 years now. It all began when I came across an Instagram profile that inspired me to dye my hair pink and I’ve never looked back!

I’m a self-confessed crazy cat lady and my fur baby’s name is Miss Ginny Groome. She’s a pinup kitty.

I love to sing and create music- I play guitar and I’m slowly learning to play the ukulele.

My favourite author is Stephen King, I especially like he’s really ‘weird’ work such as Lisey’s Story and Duma Key.

My ideal friend date is going out for pizza & cocktails and ending the night having a dance to some cheesy pop music.

 

​

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE:

My style is very much ‘modern pinup’. I love the authentic vintage look on others, but for me I think bright bold colours and prints works best. I’d say my style is fun and reflects my personality- I don’t take myself too seriously and I just like to wear whatever I want.

A massive part of my style identity is my hair. I love having pink hair and cool vintage inspired styles are my absolute favourite.

 

 

WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES:

Unlike a lot of people, I wasn’t brought up in the ‘scene’. I can appreciate the beauty and talents of icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth, however for me my influences are much more modern.

My idol is Katy Perry. When she first burst into the industry her style was very vintage inspired and even now she continues to try out different styles and just has fun with fashion.

Growing up, the two albums I adored were ‘Laundry Service’ by Shakira and ‘L.A.M.B.’ by Gwen Stefani. I feel like both sounds were different to the ‘norm’ but they both stayed true to themselves and were confident in their styles both with their music and fashion.

I can definitely say strong, bold, talented women are my biggest influences.

 

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LLB FLOWER AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO WEAR IT?

My favourite LLB flower is the Double Orange & Lime Orchid. It looks beautiful on the side of a fancy poodle with bumper bangs.
