"I grew up at the beach so it feels like home"

You appear to be a absolute natural water babe when scrolling through your Insty! What makes you feel totally relaxed & confident when shooting swimwear?


I grew up at the beach so it feels like home.

Looking through your portfolio, beach babe YES but you also have this hint of the 80s and 90s! When you're shopping/dressing yourself - what is your style?


Mostly vintage, some stolen boyfriends clothes.

Represented in London, Sydney and LA - when you travel OS for work for an extended period of time - what do you do to get settled & feel home-sweet-home?


Surround yourself with the right people.

What or who first introduced you to modeling? Where you scouted?


I was scouted and signed when I was 14.

Your skin and those brows! Both are utterly unreal. How do you keep them in such good condition whilst living such a busy life? Hints please!


Leave brows alone! I think less is more when it comes to skincare - find the products that work for you but don’t mess with your skin too much.

What would be your favourite part of your body? Has it always been this way - or has it come with age?


My brain.

You're physique is insane! What's your perfect workout? What do you feel as though gives you the best results?


I like yoga, walking, running. Not too often though. Listen to your body and don’t overwork yourself.

The new FELLA range looks as if it was designed for you! Elegantly sweet & playful. What other swimwear on It's Now Cool is grabbing your eye? Any summer trends you're loving?


Fella are so classic. The Seafolly daydreamer wrap one piece is also absolutely bomb.

In the lead up to a swimwear shoot - what does your schedule look like in terms of nutrition, workouts and sleep?


I eat pretty well so nothing changes really - I make more of an effort to work out if I know I’m shooting swim haha but schedule stays the same. + drink lots of water.

Tell us one thing about yourself that surprises people when you first meet them?


I used to eat pure butter as a child.
