Who inspires you?
My friends! They're the wind beneath my wings and I'm always striving to be just as supportive right back at them.
It's powerful stuff, to surround yourself with hardworking girlies.
Wardrobe staple you can't live without?
A quality pair of jeans. Dress them up, dress them down. I'm currently obsessed with the Nico Straight, from Neuw Denim.
Birks or Blunnies?
I'm a birks girl through and through.
I'm not very adventurous though, I have three pairs of Arizonas.

The latest self-titled album by Flyte is the perfect Abicus record!
Wardrobe staple you can't live without?
When I lived I Sydney, I would frequent the Surry Hills Salvation Army around the corner from my apartment. I found so many amazing pairs of pants that I’m convinced a girl who was my size kept donating clothes for me to find! My favourite item of clothing is a funky, kinda psychedelic pair of polyester flares from that op shop!
What's your favourite part about the Abicus team culture?
I love this crew! We are so lucky to have such a fun, kind and encouraging team. I also love how much everyone LOVES music!
