What’s your favourite beach?
It used to be Railay Beach in Krabi, Southern Thailand, but I haven’t been in over a decade now. Hoping to go visit again soon. Thailand has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches so we are a bit spoiled.


What’s your star sign?
I am very much a Capricorn.

Favourite flower?
Gardenia. I wore fresh gardenias in my hair on my wedding day and the scent always reminds me of that day :)

Favourite hotel?
Ooh again tough one. In Bangkok, we love the colonial architecture and vintage vibes of The Siam. And we recently stayed at Soneva Kiri which was an absolute dream adventure for the whole family.

Favourite cocktail?
Dirty dry gin Martini with extra olives.

Any favourite Little Joe Woman pieces?
I’m loving my Tigerlilly dress in midnight leopard, especially the attention to fit and detail. Something about how a dress hangs in just the right way really gives you a boost of confidence. I’m eyeing a few more pieces like the Celestial Star Earrings and Kiss and Tell Cocktail Dress.

Favourite piece of jewellery?
My custom made necklace that was a gift from hubby when we had our baby girl, Leila. It's a circle of diamonds with a drop diamond in the center. He designed it to represent the new life within me :)

Do you wear a watch - which is your favourite brand?
Yes, I wear Breitling. Currently wearing the Chronomat Automatic 36.

Which languages do you speak?
I speak fluent English and Thai. A when I’ve had a few drinks, I think I’m also fluent in French.

Tell us about your TV show Supermodel Me…
Supermodel Me is a regional modelling reality show recently aired on AXN Asia and can now be watched on YouTube. Modelling hopefuls from all over Asia compete in an action packed series of challenges and photo shoots designed to test not only their modelling skills but their physical, emotional and mental strength as well in hopes of finding a new kind of ’super” model.

Memories of your favourite event / dinner party and why?
Our Japanese Sakura themed wedding after party that lasted till 6am complete with drag performances, line-dancing, and midnight rice porridge for the guests to refuel.

What are you reading?
Am re-reading The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood. My son, Aiden, picked it out himself as a Christmas present to me. What are you listening to? My Soul & Funk Playlist on Deezer.


What’s your fashion style?
Casual cool I suppose. I prefer more elegant and timeless styles to trendy fashion trends. The pandemic has made me re-evaluate my fashion style and am in the process of streamlining my closet to only the pieces I really love to wear that make me feel comfortable and confident. I do love a good Thai silk fisherman pant, which can be dressed up or down effortlessly.
