The Guest Spot: Isabella
A CHUM AND CHAMPION OF ROXANNE FIRST, ISABELLA (KNOWN TO HER FIANCÉ AS ‘CHOU’) HAS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SASS, WIT AND CHARM THAT MAKES HER THE CHOICE FOR THIS MONTH’S GUEST SPOT.
SHE’S ALSO A MAGPIE WHEN IT COMES TO DIAMONDS - AREN’T WE ALL...
WHAT’S YOUR BEAUTY MUST-HAVE?
MASCARA AND, IN PARTICULAR, THE CHEAP KIND.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR?
GREEN, IN ALL ITS SHADES.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TIME OF DAY?
ANYTIME WHEN I AM EATING.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?
EVOLVING - DEPENDENT ON HOW I FEEL OR WHO I WANT TO BE IN THE MOMENT.
WHAT’S YOUR USUAL COFFEE ORDER?
ESPRESSO, AND MULTIPLE OF THEM A DAY.
IF YOU RAIDED A WOMAN'S CLOSET, WHO’S WOULD IT BE?
ALLY MCBEAL
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOURSELF IN 3 WORDS?
TALKATIVE, EMPATHETIC, DREAMER.
SWEET OR SAVOURY?
SAVOURY ALWAYS, AFTER MY FIANCÉ, SALT IS ONE OF THE GREAT LOVES OF MY LIFE.
WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO PIECE OF JEWELLERY?
I ALWAYS HAVE A PAIR OF HOOPS (AND OBLIGATORY THEY ARE FROM RF BECAUSE OTHERWISE MY EARS WOULD BE DUSTING THE FLOOR), A CHUNKY CHAIN NECKLACE AND A STACK OF GOLD PIECES ON MY ARM. I LOVE HAVING A BIG COLLECTION THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME AND THAT I NEVER WANT TO TAKE OFF.
WHAT JEWELLERY ICON WOULD YOU LOVE TO OWN?
I WOULD SELL MOST OF MY POSSESSIONS FOR A TIFFANY & CO. SCHLUMBERGER BANGLE. I THINK THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF STYLISH.
WHAT DOES JEWELLERY MEAN TO YOU?
IT’S THE MOST INTIMATE EXPRESSION OF WHO I AM, OF MOMENTS AND PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT.
DO YOU PREFER VINTAGE OR NEW?
VINTAGE - I’M A WALKING SHRINE TO PEOPLE THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.
DIAMONDS, PEARLS, OR SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES?
I LOVE THEM ALL BUT DIAMONDS IF I HAD TO PICK, I AM A BIT OF A MAGPIE.
WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN?
NOTHING WORTH HAVING COMES EASY AND EASY TIMES DON’T MAKE GREAT PEOPLE.
WHAT IS A CAUSE THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU?
THE ELDERLY. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN’T TAKE BETTER CARE OF THE GENERATION THAT RAISED US OR EVEN CAME BEFORE THEM. HOW WE TREAT OUR ELDERLY SAYS A LOT ABOUT OUR VALUES.
WHY DO YOU LOVE THE STYLES YOU’VE PICKED-OUT?
EACH OF THE PIECES REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT SIDE OF MYSELF AND THE WAY IN WHICH I LIKE TO LIVE. THEY ALL FEEL LIKE THEY COULD BECOME PART OF THE FABRIC OF MY LIFE.
