Can’t live without:

My diary, iPhone and coffee.

What I’m listening to:

Insider styling tip:

Basics are your best friend. You can never go wrong with a classic stripe, chambray denim or oversized tees – it’s all about keeping your look interesting with on-trend pieces and plenty of layering.

In-flight essential:

Evian facial spray, a pair of thick Bonds socks, a grey Bonds Sloppy Joe, make-up wipes, a full iPod and a good book or magazine.

Ellese wears our Beach Tee and Bonds Short in Mid Grey Snow Marle.

Favourite brunch spot:

Bread and Circus in Alexandria or Porch and Parlour in North Bondi.

Secret to your success:

Always being open to inspiration, whether it be in books or magazines, online, in nature or whilst travelling. Regular exercise and making time to escape outdoors and relax also helps keeps me sane despite my busy schedule.

Favourite Bonds piece:

Do I have to pick one? On high rotation are my Besties stripe tees, my grey Sloppy Joes and exercise tights.
