What are you wearing: I just bought these shoes yesterday at Holt Renfrew. They’re Miu Miu and I’m really pleased with the colour. Originally, they were $580 but I got them for $289. My jeans are by Seven and they were about $150. The scarf is Missoni from Italy and it cost about $350 (I find it works in every season). My T-shirt is just American Eagle.
I try to personalize my jewelery. My parents gave me the cross I’m wearing and it signifies spirituality. It’s attached to a 1898 South African coin to show that wealth, abundance and spirituality can go together. My Louis Vuitton bag is from Paris, the bracelets are Prada and Tiffany and, of course, my Rolex. My Prada shades broke yesterday so these are Oakley standbys.
Personal style: Rock n’ roll
Favourite item of clothing: My Diesel leather jacket that I got in Italy.
Fashion faux-pas: Taste is always important, so not too much exposure.
