My number one passion is people. I love looking at people, sharing experiences with and learning stuff from them and generally hanging out. My favourite types are those with a generous spirit and a positive nature. I adore enthusiastic people who are thankful for being alive. I’m naturally attracted to motivated individuals, those who posses a joie de vive, with a sparkle in their eye and who are intelligent and have good taste.

Travelling our beautiful world is way up on my list of priorities. I love to explore. I’m a very free spirit. My favourite cities are Florence and New York. They’re both architecturally interesting and often coated in sunshine, which makes me very happy. They are great fun to party in and I have so many happy (private!) memories. Italy has to be my favourite country. Half my family are Italian so the culture is engrained in my blood, including having a passionate temperament! Enough said. Perhaps this is where my love of fashion stems from, I adore Miu Miu and Ferragamo shoes and buy my clothes from Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg and Rous Iland.

My parents have fuelled my love of European food and my last meal would consist of honey-roasted parsnips, aubergine and artichoke hearts, baked Alaska, Haribo tangfastics, oysters and pink champagne. Obviously not all at the same time as that’s just revolting! Oh, and finished off with petit fours! I’m lucky enough to be able to eat out quite a bit and my favourite restaurant at the moment is Whole Foods on Kensington High street – their salad bar is fun to mix and match from. Shoreditch house is my favorite bar, their Limoncello cocktail is like a lemon meringue pie in a glass - delicious.

My home is important to me as it’s my safe haven - a place where I can go and hide away if I choose and simply relax. I plug my Ipod in and will listen to Regina Spektor and John Legend - their music gives me goose bumps. Reading relaxes me and I enjoy self-improvement books; Think and Grow Rich, The Secret, How to Make Friends and Influence People, Awaken the Giant Within. If I’m watching a movie my first choice is always a chick flick/rom com - Wedding Crashers, Sweet Home Alabama, I just watched The Notebook and wept the whole way through it. When it comes to TV I like to think and laugh so The Sopranos, Peep show, Seinfeld and Kimora Lee Simmons’s show are pure entertainment - Kimora is a diva personified!

I love the flowers from my favourite florist on Bermondsey Street in London called Igloo. They push the boundaries and I often go to New Covent Garden market with the owner, Simon, to buy stock for his shops. The smell is amazing, the banter is fun and they make a wicked bacon and avocado sandwich.

I would like to own either a Cavalier King Charles or a Springer Spaniel as these were the dogs we owned growing up and remind me of my childhood. Some of my other favourite things are having my hair blow-dried - I was born with Worzel Gummidge's hair - sunshine, fairy lights, kissing, dancing and sexy lingerie. I like to smell good and wear Calvin Klein’s perfume, Euphoria and also YSL Cinema; the former for the day, the latter for the evening, it’s stronger and sexier. My favourite pieces of jewellery are my large rings. They’re my signature statement and can make an average outfit look amazing. One of my favourite pastimes is to daydream - hence my vivid imagination, it keeps me young!

I’ve recently started to appreciate art and have been buying pieces by Swoon, Matt Black, Faile and Adam Neate. My house contents insurance has gone through the roof but they’re great investments!

I have so many favourite hotels but if I had to name just one, it would be Soneva Gili in the Maldives. It’s elegant and sophisticated, the food is incredible and the service is the best I’ve ever experienced.

I love to laugh - belly laughter, crying with laughter, laughing uncontrollably, laughing with friends, and laughing at myself.
