KEY POINTS:
Some would consider Lucia Tigri to be one of the luckiest girls in the world. As manager of Newmarket boutique Drop Dead Gorgeous, Tigri's days are spent surrounded by luxury designer clothes from Chloe, Phillip Lim, Stella McCartney and Luella.
As a result, her wardrobe features plenty of pieces that would make the most die-hard fashion fan jealous. "It's hard for me to define my style as I am so changeable.
Some days I like to feel girly in a dress and heels then the next I feel more comfortable in jeans and a tee. I guess you could call me tomboy with a pretty twist!" says Tigri, who has been working at the store for almost 18 months.
Before that, Tigri spent eight months travelling and before that worked as a fashion editor and freelance stylist - so she has a lot of fashion cred.
Who are your favourite designers?
Phillip Lim for his cut, Luella for her quirkiness and Thomas Wylde for her rock 'n' roll edge.
What was the last item of clothing you bought?
A Thomas Wylde new-season tarantula print silk scarf. It makes any old outfit look fabulous. I remember visiting my grandmother in Italy when I was a child; she wore a different scarf every day. I would always think how glamorous she looked, and since then I have been a sucker for a good scarf.
Who or what inspires you?
My close friends inspire me. I look at them and how amazing they are in their different ways, also how they handle themselves in various situations. I feel honoured to be part of their lives.
Who does the best shoes?
Jo at Mei Mei has the most amazing selection of international brands, and I love every single pair of shoes that I have bought there. But my favourites at the moment are my nude-coloured Rupert Sandersons.
The best jeans?
Rich & Skinny sleek cut; I have two pairs in different washes. They have a cigarette leg that is so flattering. The denim is really soft and fine, the waist is slightly higher than usual, with satin on the inside band for a touch of luxury.
Your favourite shop?
Drop Dead Gorgeous of course!
What is your beauty routine?
I have really sensitive skin, I blotch up at the smell of harsh chemicals. I have recently started using TheraVine, and I am blown away by how much it has improved my skin. The secret is the face oil that you apply after the cleanse and tone. I wouldn't use anything else now.
Whose wardrobe would you most like to raid?
My boss Karyn Beadle's. Karyn has the most amazing style, she loves to mix it up - one day she's pretty in a Chloe dress and killer heels, then the next she's in jeans, Chucks and a Thomas Wylde blazer. She loves colour and never goes for the safe option.
What is the biggest fashion/beauty/hair mistake you have ever made?
Trying to go platinum blond. It seemed like a good idea at the time but after my third trip to the hairdresser for yet another bleach, my hair started snapping off at the roots. I aborted the mission.
Any style icons?
Kate Moss, I know it's a cliche but I love her "I just threw this on and I look amazing" attitude.
You feel best wearing?
I feel best wearing what suits my mood on the day. If, for some reason, I end up in jeans on a day I feel like wearing a dress I feel frumpy all day. My clothing choice definitely reflects my mood.
My most favourite thing in my wardrobe is...?
My black leather biker jacket. I got it in Paris two years ago, it's really plain, in a fine leather. It's my staple that I would be lost without, all year round. It looks cute over a floral dress on a summer evening.
Are you more of a shoe or bag girl?
Shoes... But I could become just as bad with bags if I had an endless budget.
What can't you live without, fashion and beauty wise?
My Hugo Boss flat boots, on the days my toes curl up at the sight of another pair of heels. My TheraVine skin care - when your skin looks healthy and glowing you don't have to worry so much about makeup.
How would you describe your own style in a sentence?
Changeable, but with a girly twist.
