You love to wear your Topshop looks. What would you do if you ran into another girl wearing your outfit?

What things has your daughter taught you?
“My daughter, Lila, is my style critic. She’ll say, “No, Mummy, you can’t wear that.” She’s very good. I do trust her instinct.”

What is something that you are better at now than when you were younger?
“Having the confidence to say no to things that I don’t feel comfortable with. I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin since turning 40.”
