What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

A beautiful mustard yellow gown, called The Witch Dress, from a shop called Edgeley in Melbourne, Australia. I was hoping that it would help me with the 17/18 tax returns because I could tell it was going to take some extra-terrestria­l sorcery to get through that mess.

What are you addicted to buying?

Clicky-pens. My office nerves get me so anxious that I can usually wear through a clicky-pen in two to four hours. They’re like my stress ball. I always make sure I have plenty in supply.

Best ever bargain?

Once I found a versatile pink Chanel suit on a discount rack. The only thing bad about climbing the social ladder is how far you then have to fall.

Who has great style?

Mimi from The Drew Carey Show. She can blend her blue garage door style eyeshadow like no other and no print is ever too loud.

Name your favourite high street shop.

We have a fabulous high street store Down Under called Best & Less. Check it out.

Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?

One evening after onetoo-many rosés at a Friday night drinks with the girls I snapped my stiletto on a packing pallet. I had to hobble for the rest of the night.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

It’s a rhinestone­d rainbow lanyard that I keep my keys and access cards on. It shows that I’m not only quirky but I’m also committed and a strong asset to my finance team. n
