1) How would you describe your personal style?
I'd describe my personal style as conscious/recycled. I'm a very spiritual person and follow the motto of 'Live a Life of Karmic Kindness'. Therefore, I don't believe in spending large amounts of my own money on clothing in order to follow trends. The vintage and charity stores are my best friends. I love the feeling of stepping into a store filled with items from the past, as well as the very generous price tags! 2) What sparked your interest for fashion & beauty?
Due to my multi-cultural background, (Somali, Swedish, British) I've always been interested in the different styles and influences of beauty in my life. Growing up, women of colour in the fashion and beauty world have greatly influenced me. Although I'd say my biggest influence of beauty is Mother Nature because I'm constantly in awe of the simplicity in natural beauty. I try to keep my own natural beauty as intact as possible (very little make up, kindness to my body, drinking and eating right, etc). I've recently decided to fully embrace my natural hair and stop straightening/blowdrying it (I will try to document my journey for you!). I'm all about embracing change for the better. I look to everyday as a new chance of self improvement.
3) Do you have any tips & tricks you'd like to share?
For myself, I think it's important to reinvent old items of clothing and recreate pieces instead of spending money on new items when you have a full wardrobe. One trick I love is taking an old racerback vest top and simply wearing it back to front (as seen above).
