We talk with Author, TV Presenter and health & lifestyle expert, Tali Shine who just jetted from London to Australia to guest edit at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
SA: How has fashion
week been for you?
Tali: It has been
amazing and so busy! As guest editor for rescu.com.au I was lucky enough to see
pretty much every show and interview every designer, hair and makeup expert
backstage. I love the international shows but coming home to Australia with the
amazing backdrop of our harbour is breathtaking. The clothes here are fresh,
and actually wearable rather than created to shock and act as theatre
like some of the overseas collections. I can't wait to wear many of the items I
saw!
SA: Favourite way to
start your day?
Tali: I was never a
morning person until I discovered Danai at Jivamukti Yoga in London, now Im up
religiously at 6am to do her classes. She is amazing and her classes are a
mind, body and soul workout. It's the perfect mix of cardio, strengthening,
toning, mantras and meditation, which helps to create balance and toned arms at
the same time! Im usually gulping green tea to wake me up as I walk to the
classes! Its one thing I really miss when I travel.
SA: Two fashion items
you are wearing right now?
Tali: My Farage
tailored black blazer is my staple and comes everywhere with me. It dresses up
every outfit, even denim shorts! Im also obsessed with my Rebecca Vallance
black leather trousers, i'm not really a jeans girl, so they are my perfect
break from mini skirts.
SA: Best beauty
products?
Tali: I'm obsessed with coconut oil; I put it in my green
tea and I also use it as a natural body moisturiser. I had a lot of hairstyling
over fashion week and my hair was feeling a little dry so I have been applying
it to my ends before bed too and it has done wonders! I don't leave home
without my Estee Lauder moisturiser which has an spf in it. I also carry about
three of my own brand of coloured glosses with me at any time.
SA: Your Beauty Icon?
Tali: Grace Kelly. No one has ever come close to her
radiance, style and flaweless beauty and poise.
SA: Guilty pleasures?
Tali: Massages are a great way to unwind after a busy week.
I don't watch much television but the show I am totally hooked on is Gossip
GIrl; I love the clothes, the characters and the NYC shots, it reminds me of
living in NY after uni. I have to admit to having a total shoe addiction. Im
not sure how i'm going to fit them all back into my suitcase when I return to
London!
SA: What do you always
have with you when you travel.
Tali: I never leave home without my camera, I love to
capture friends and interesting things and places and then make albums after. I
also travel with a cashmere blanket which doubles as a scarf, planes are
freezing so its nice to be cozy. If I am going to be in a hotel for a while I
pack a small travel candle so the room feels more like home. I get inspirations
at strange times so I used to have a notebook and pen with me, but I have just
joined the 21st century and bought and IPad.
