Do your kids have a personal sense of style? What is it?
"Charlie actually told a mom friend that he wanted all-white evening tails for his eighth birthday! Where that came from nobody knows… but he got it and he rocks it. Florence is definitely at the stage of trying things out. Very interesting what she comes up with. I love it at that age they can wear anything. Wish we had school uniforms here though, I do miss the no-fashion-crisis mornings!"

What's one trend you won't put on your kids?
"Gosh… crocs and I'm also steering away from high street brands especially as Florence is getting older. I find the styles and colors rather tasteless and inappropriate, so I really would rather do thrift stores and stoop sales."
