I am a chameleon when it comes to dressing, and change my looks based on my moods.\u2019 \u00A0What are your favourite brands? \u2018This is a difficult question because I like to diversify. I just loaded up on a few blouses for summer at Zara that looked like Peter Pilotto but were only \u00A312 each. For shoes you can\u2019t go wrong with Roger Vivier, and they last for years (the key is to use cedar shoe-trees after each wear).
