Few people will be busier during the month of September than 30 Days of Fashion & Beauty face, Nikki Phillips. The supermodel reveals her fashion and beauty inspirations, and shares her all-important tips for looking great every day – no matter how many late-night 30 Days events you attend!
Q. What have been your career highlights?
A. Fashion in itself is constantly changing and to have been in this industry for 10 years is a highlight in itself. Also walking the runway for distinctive designers such as Versace, Dior and Dolce &Gabanna, and having a job that takes you around the world, to places you only dream of visiting. It’s also exciting to have a job that involves you with many people. And every day you are heading to a new place.
Q. What’s on your wishlist for summer?
A. I’m really loving designers Balmain and Dion Lee, so items from their collections are definitely on the list. I would have to say bright bikinis and classic
sandals are also must-haves.
Q. What are your favourite shops?
A. I do most of my shopping online now, but I still manage to venture out to my favourites; Willow, Ginger & Smart, tuchuzy, Zimmerman and what girl wouldn’t say Cosmopolitan shoes?
Q. What are your top tips for stylish dressing?
A. Personally the key to stylish dressing is to not think too much about an outfit - clothing should speak for itself. If an outfit is lacking a certain spark, jewellery is always a great solution, so accessorise it up.
Q. Who are your style icons?
A. I love Blake Lively and Kate Moss as they both have classic, elegant yet a touch of funk to their style, and whenever I flick through magazines their style always stands out.
Q. And your beauty icons?
A. Grace Kelly - she was a classic beauty.
Q. What are some great beauty tips you’ve picked up through your work?
A. Curling your lashes, adding loads of mascara and putting white pencil on the inner corners of your eye really open them up. Also, hairspray on your eyebrows, as mine never go in the same direction.
Q. How do you prepare for 30 Days of Fashion & Beauty?
A. I don't do anything differently then I do on a day-to-day basis and that is, I try and to eat healthy, exercise five times a week with my dog Tygalilly, be balanced and have fun.
Q. Any tips for looking good all night?
A. Don't wear too much make-up - eyeliner and mascara is all you need. And always be comfortable in what your wearing.
Q. And for looking good the morning after?
A. A morning walk and lots of water.
Q. And how do you unwind at the end of 30 Days of Fashion & Beauty?
A. By either taking a few days off from everything and just hanging with my dog, or by spending time with my family back in New Zealand - its also a good excuse for a holiday.
Q. Any final words of fashion and beauty wisdom?
A. Be happy with what you have, look after it and don't follow the pack when it comes to fashion, dress to your personality.
