TV and radio host Bridget Masinga on not being left-footedDescribe your style in a sentence?Classic sophistication with a whimsical twist. Clean, uncluttered lines that can transition seasonally.Favourite Instagrammer for style inspiration?Fashion editor Asanda Sizani's posts reflect what's beautiful and creative (@asansasizani). My style inspiration isn't literal. Art, music, street culture, home deco, food, textures and travel influence how I experience the world, dictating how I assemble an outfit that reflects who I am and what I am feeling.Best item in your closet?A knee-length, round-neck black coat I bought in New York is my current favourite. It goes from casual to formal, from winter to summer and day to night.Best wrinkle cure?If someone introduced me to a method that works, I would pay them handsomely.Favourite jeans?I like a tight, dark, stretch denim with a bit of a fade to give it character.

I love feminine scents and vanilla reminds me of all things soft, pink and fluffy. So every home should have some form of perfume whether by way of diffusers, room spritzers or perfumes.What makes a shoe chic?The sleek elegance of the design.

I am not a flat-shoe kind of girl.Best underwear?For insanely unaffordable, yet ridiculously sexy lingerie it has to be Agent Provocateur and La Perla.Spotted any talent lately?Many young emerging designers. I particularly like Tuelo Nguyuza's aesthetic. There's something soft and dreamy about his work that leads me to believe that once he's perfected his craft he'll be a talent to be noted.Vintage or brand new?I don't have the patience for finding the right vintage pieces. With that said there's something special about pieces that have lived a thousand lives: they bring a certain character to your wardrobe and demand a respect that newer fashion is yet to master.Fave shop?BCBG MAX AZRIAYour style inspiration?My friend David Tlale knows how to design clothes that flatter and complement a woman's form and personality.Most stylish person on earth?Victoria Beckham is put together with effortless ease. She wears easy, practical, accessible fashion that's always appropriate for the occasion and the stage in her life...
