20 Questions ... with Grace

Let us introduce you to our amazing Director of Operations, Grace. 

Grace keeps everything afloat here at RLC HQ, having a hand in everything from design to accounts and all that is in between. 

Tell us a little about yourself?

I hate this question. That’s how I will start. Grace Eloise Newman. 21. The eldest child in a very wild family. I sing way too much and I constantly embarrass myself.

Three things you couldn’t leave home without?

Sunglasses, MJ Watch, IPhone.

Fashion icon?

I’m stuck in the past: Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly & Twiggy.

Favourite snack?

Any type of cheese I can get my hands on. It’s a problem.

Celebrity crush?

Channing Tatum, I’m sorry I’m a total cliché!

Favourite Saturday brunch location?

At the moment I am obsessed with Cirque in New Farm who run breakfast all day – I don’t usually make it anywhere until at least 1pm on a Saturday. I have to mention my love affair with Anouk here also, but the lines are way too much for me on a lazy Saturday.

Favourite trend this season?

The comeback of the sweater! Sweater girls rule. I am also loosing my breath for anything in that beautiful berry tone, you know the one!

Favourite band/artist?

I love anything and everything by Coldplay. I am having a Florence + the Machine moment lately. I also will admit how uncool I truly am and say that T. Swift would definitely be up there.

Favourite Actress?

I have a major girl crush on the Emma’s (Stone & Watson), Mila & Natalie.

Lipstick of choice?

Nars – Roman Holiday.

Favourite Food?

Pad Thai. When I travelled in Thailand I was obsessed with finding the perfect pad Thai so I would end up with two main meals everywhere I went! Yeah, I’m that girl. 

Favourite Holiday Destination?

Again I don’t know how I could possibly say. My top three would be New York, Jaipur and Octopus Island in Fiji, so far. In my dreams with would be Vienna, Paris and the Greek Islands. 

Favourite Item in your wardrobe?

Vintage Item: Bill Blass 100% Wool Hounds-tooth coat I bought in New York.

Recent Purchase: Bec & Bridge high waisted silk pants in magenta.

Everyday piece: An oversized sweater in berry.

Favourite flower? Orange Peonies.

Signature Scent?

NARCISO RODRIGUEZ For Her more recently, but I have always been a Chanel Chance girl at heart.

All time favourite movie?

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood seems to be my go to movie when I need cheering up. Don’t ask me why it’s totally depressing! I am also a complete Harry Potter addict. It’s started to get a little out of control how many times I have seen the last movie.

Favourite past time?

I would love to say something entirely romanticised like “yoga”. I wish I was that person haha. But honestly, I can’t go past a good meal with great company.

Beauty product you cannot live without?

Nars Laguna Bronzer followed closely by Nars Tinted Moisturiser, which would be followed extremely closely by Nars Super Orgasm liquid illuminator. I could go on. I am a self confessed beauty product addict. 

Would you consider yourself a collector or an editor?

Definitely a collector. I am extremely sentimental. I still have letters written to me from when I was 10 years old and costumes from my first ever dance performances.

Favourite Redletter Club style for 2012?

This has to be the most difficult question because I change my mind daily. I am completely obsessed with the Laylah Tablet Clutch in the neon green snake. I also love the Hazel Tote in Winter. The perfect day to night situation is going on there!
