I just thought I’d share a small interview I did with Naomi Bikis of Tank Magazine, that appeared on their blog: beacauselondon.com. Special thanks to the wonderful Olivia Richardson.

Uhuh we see that simple ’60s vibe that Faye’s got going on and we like it. Her trench, black mini dress and oversized sunglasses have caught a little of Francoise Hardy, which can never be a bad reference point to have.
Faye is a model and blogger from Ireland who considers Paris home for now, which might explain the subtle channeling of french singers. But rather than knocking off stars of old she adds her own interesting cat broach, soft tan leather rucksack and Kurt Geiger boots that bring us nicely back to 2011.
Faye Dinsmore
What do you see your self doing in 10 years?
I hope to have achieved self-sufficiency, owning my own farm, growing my own vegetables, having lots of animals. It would be half farm/half model retreat where tired, overworked models could take a break from the hectic fashion world and come stay with me and chill out on the farm, in exchange for manual labour of course.
Where is your favourite place to be?
I went to a party in the New Forest a little while ago called Wyndstock. It’s most definitely my favourite place of the year.
Do you have a beauty secret?
Yes, my green smoothie. It’s one apple, one pear, ,one banana, spinach, cucumber, celery and lettuce, blend this baby and have it first thing in the morning. It does wonders for your hair, skin, energy levels. Life saver if you’re hung-over.
Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Chocolate and crisps. I have a mild addiction to crisps, sometimes I find myself thinking about which flavour to buy next. And there are few things in life better than chocolate after dinner with a hot cup of tea. Nom nom.
Who/what is the greatest love of your life?
My baby Coco, I bought her from a homeless man in Paris, she is the most beautiful, clever, friendly, cuddly, best puppy in the world.
What’s your fancy dress costume of choice?
I’ve never actually had a proper costume, like most girls I use fancy dress parties as an occasion to wear the silliest and sluttiest things in my wardrobe.
If you could have one super power what would it be and why?
Teleportation. I spend way too much time travelling and I hate airports.
