1. Why do you think Style is important?
A: Style is important because how you represent yourself to the society is how you’re perceived. It shows that you take care of yourself and creates confidence.
2. What are your secrets to Authentic Style? How do you stay true to yourself, while running a household, business and raising children?
A: My secrets to Authentic Style is the classic looks. I’ve always liked classic looks instead of seasonal fashion as it is always in style, easy and because it is a look that suits me and my body. Dressing what suits you is key as it is part of who you are. I try to stay true to myself while having many tasks on my plate by keeping myself healthy, as it is truly how you feel that determines how you’re running the day. I am very careful with my meals, exercise regularly and having a positive circle of friends and family who keeps me happy and positive which I think is such a gift. All these help me stay focused on my life and running a business.
3. What are the items in your life that you absolutely couldn’t live without?
A: I absolutely cannot live without Vaseline. Now that it is very close to winter in Australia, Vaseline helps avoid dry hands and lips better than other brands. I also can’t live without my skinny jeans, jacket, camera (I love taking photos!) and my handphone for checking emails while on the go.
4. What are your newest obsessions?
A: Shoulder jackets and epaulettes. They’re chic and lift your look instantly.
5. Do you have any exciting news you’d like to share with us? Or can you share what your inspired to do next?
A: I am so excited on my upcoming photoshoot session with Shannon McDonald Photography for my winter collection. It will be shot in one of Melbourne’s charming Victorian building and the look book for the collection will be very chic and simple. Chic by Sha will also be participating in a fashion market event in June which includes local designers and more. I’ve had photography in my list of to do list for some time as I love taking photos. But I guess that might take the right time to fully establish to a professional level. I am pleased to share on my next inspired thing to do though which is to expand my business in another exciting category hopefully by the end of the year. Can’t wait!
