We were keen to chat with her to find out more about this powerhouse:
Describe your personal style?
Cajzh – glam! Maybe it’s an age thing or maybe I’ve just come into my own, but I’m really into more subtle, classic pieces and I love a good monotone look, it’s so chic!
Your go-to outfit would be?
High waisted denims (or mom jeans) and a good fitting Tee!
Favourite places to shop?
Zara! It’s pretty predictable but Zara always comes through with great staple pieces, as well as currently trending season must-have’s!
Heels or flats?
My motto used to be flats for daytime chic and heels for nighttime glam but I’m finding myself in flats most of the time.
As a makeup lover, what are your favourite products right now
Makeup wise I’m currently loving the Dior Backstage Primer and Foundation, such a great combo and any great makeup look always starts with good skin prep!
Your go to perfume would be?
This is a tough one because I’m such a fragrance lover! Most of my faves are from Byredo probably Black Saffron, Mojave Ghost, Bal D’Afrique and Gypsy Water (in that order). I’m also really loving the newly formulated Gabrielle Chanel Essence, it’s so sophisticated!
Lipstick or lip gloss
I’m definitely a lipstick girl! My everyday go-to is “Pillow talk” by Charlotte Tilbury, it’s such a flattering neutral shade.
We love that you describe your Instagram as a visual beauty journal, what promoted you to start sharing more on Instagram?
Thank you! I’ve always held back on my creativity for fear of “putting myself out there”. This year I felt like I’m just going to do me, regardless of caring what people may or may not think.
How would you describe the response you have received so far?
The response has been absolutely amazing!!! People have been a lot kinder than I imagined, I’m inundated with questions and DM’s regarding fave beauty products and fashion advice as well as lots of people messaging to say that they’re just enjoying/admiring my content and finding it very useful! Followers have also really been enjoying my trend polls, which sparks a lot of fun conversations and opinions around currently trending or highly sought after fashion and beauty items.
One word to describe your life
Busy 😅 I’ve always been a very driven, on-the-go person, but add two kids to the mix (a soon to be 4 yr old and a 9 month old) and it’s basically orchestrated chaos, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Multitasking at its finest!
Favourite restaurant
Does Pastry at Just Teddy count?
You’ll also find me at The Bigmouth, the vibe’s always chilled and the food’s always good and @octavianombulelo_ is thee most gracious hostess!
Coffee or tea
Coffee!!
Favourite vacay spot
Wow this is a tough one! I love traveling and have been blessed with such great travel experiences!
Paris for the Charm!
Istanbul for the Culture!
Hong Kong for the energy! I love a bustling city and the energy in Hong Kong is just amazing!
