Siriol on accessories...

I think I'm quite a confident person anyway, and so shoes and bags are just an added help really.

Did you like dressing up when you were younger?

Definitely, cos I used to do ballet when I was a young child, and with all those tutus and shows it was an integral part of growing up, and I always loved dressing up and raiding my mother's wardrobe. When I was younger I was a bit on the chubby side to be honest, but when I reached my teens I shot up in height and realized that I could wear loads of different things, things I didn't have the confidence to wear before.

Do you accentuate your height, do you wear high heels for example?

Well, to be honest there are so many gorgeous shoes around these days it would be a real shame if I couldn't wear heels just on account of my height. So I actually do go out and buy heels and I actually just like wearing them cos they do wonders for the legs since they tighten them of course. I love wearing heels so why shouldn't I do just that is my way of thinking.

Siriol on handbags...

This bag was the first one I got, my dad bought it for me in America - in California actually, and that was the start of the habit! When he came home with it, I thought, 'Right that's it, I have to have a collection of them'. So I went over to New York and bought another one. I just really like the colours and the fact they look so stylish when I'm out shopping.

Is there a story behind the Prada one?

Well, I got this one in the sale, and it's my only Prada bag. I keep all the dustbags to make sure they don't lose their shape. This was actually quite a bargain, I think I bought it for £425, and I did spoil myself by buying it but it feels so wonderful to touch, and the leather is so soft and it's a nice colour as well, so I'm quite pleased with that little purchase.

If you spend that much on bags, you must spend a fortune on clothes?

Not really actually. I tend to shop in Topshop, Oasis, I love Zara at the moment - their coats, trousers, they're a really tailored look which is really handy for work. I do have a couple of things by Dolce & Gabbana and Pringle, but to be honest I'm a high street chick.

How would you describe your style?

For work I tend to go for tailored trousers, a nice jumper and a long coat since it's quite cold at the moment. For nights out I tend to wear pretty little dresses.

What about the whole image - living in a nice flat, driving a nice car, going out to nice places - is it all part of the same thing?

I think so, yes. I like doing nice things, I like spending money, I like people spending money on me so it is all part of the image... but I do like to be spoiled!
