8am:
I’ve been waking up at this hour for the past few months. Sometimes, I roll out of bed and start my day or roll over and go back to sleep (entirely depending on stress levels).
9am
I wake up again. I’m not ashamed to admit that the first thing I reach for is my phone and I usually check three to four apps before I get up – Mail, Instagram, and WhatsApp – sometimes Snapchat.
10am:
I work from home so I make it a point to try and shower and get dressed for the day by this time. But the first thing I do before anything else is make coffee. I need coffee to function!

12pm:
For days when we have shoots for Grazia I sort out the clothes and style the looks. On non-shoot days, I would begin my day by reading the news. I like knowing and reading about all things culture, current events, and entertainment from my favourite local and foreign publications. I check Instep, Images Dawn, The Business of Fashion, Who What Wear and ManRepeller regularly.
1pm:
I have numerous PR queries in my mail and on Whatsapp. I check them and send out my replies. I also make my calls around this time to check in with people and get the scoop for my stories. 1 pm is my deadline for the newspaper so if I’m filing a story on the day it should be done by then.
2pm:
I have lunch – at home if it’s a non-shoot day or I grab something to go from Mall One.

3pm:
I put together a fashion feature for Grazia which entails trawling through hundreds of celebrity, street style, runway, and Instagram images and looking at a lot of websites and products.
5pm:
There is most likely an event at this hour so I put together my outfit. I prefer to do casual chic over very dressed up so this normally doesn’t take too much time.
8pm:
I don’t do fashionably late and always arrive to events on time. If I’m not there on time, I’m most likely not coming. If there are no events happening at night, I usually see my friends for a catch-up dinner or hang with family. Otherwise, I’ll stay in and find something on Netflix or watch GOT on repeat.
11pm:
If I’m out and in the company of really great people with good energy, I’ll make an exception and stay for a while, considering 11 pm is my usual bedtime. Once home, my nighttime beauty routine commences and then Zzzz.
