Dream holiday destination?
It's a split between the desert bliss and architectural delight of Palm Springs CA, or the powdery Ski Slopes of Japan.

A fun day out with Charlie down to Austimer Dog Beach.

Describe your style in 3 words.
Relaxed, minimal, evolving

@meccacosmetica, WeWoreWhat, @browncardigan and @betootaadvocate,
Do you collect anything and if so what?
Fridge magnets (nice ones!) from Art Gallery and Museum Gift shops that I visit on my travels.
Summer or winter?
Winter for the Snow to Ski, Spring or Autumn in Sydney for the flexibility to wear whatever you want. Summer for the beach days. So no I can't choose.
Favourite Restaurant/Cafe?
Saga Enmore for the best breakfast in Sydney.
What takes your breath away?
When I first rode around Palm Springs on a bike - the juxtaposition of Mid Century architecture, dramatic Cliffs in the back ground and the palm trees. So still, so perfect... & Charlie when he makes a bad smell.
Favourite Jim & Jane product....
My favourite Jim & Jane essential piece would have to be my Jan G ear cuffs (did you know all our essentials are named after customers and staff?)...my favourite interior items are my Gold Palm tree Candlesticks. My fav bath and body would be the Eucalyptus body scrub from Salus.
Favourite Label at Jim & Jane?
Why shop local?
One of the reasons to shop local is because you can (if you wish) build a great relationship with the people who work at the business and can trust them to guide you in the right direction and always be honest! It's harder to build up trust with chain stores if everyone is aware that the staff are on commission and are so sales or budget focused.
Do you have a signature scent?
Back in the good old days before allergies I used to love Byredo Black Saffron.
Favourite Artist? Favourite Flower?
Glen Luchford.
Favourite Cocktail?
Dirty Martini
Favourite Flower?
Cacti and succulents.
Best memory at Jim & Jane.
Christmas Parties and bonding with the staff....meeting some of my very best girlfriends! (hola past legends Emily Hana Johnson and Elise Giallonardo.
