The creative mind behind the Haute Edition on keeping things close to home on Mother’s Day.
Where will we find you on Mother’s Day?
I am hoping for a cozy and lazy day at home with my family, but since my husband loves to surprise me, I am not sure where I will land.
Your all-time favorite memory with your kid?
Last year when my daughter was just one year old, we went on a five-week-vacation to Australia. There is not a single day that I don´t think about the beautiful time we had over there… Maybe my favorite memory is from this one day in Sydney when my daughter was at the beach and saw the sea for the first time – it was such a magical and special day for all of us!
What is your favorite memory you shared with your own mother?
One of my fondest memories is from when we visited my mother´s home country Iran for the first time. I was just three years old, but I still remember so many things we saw and experienced, for instance a visit to Persepolis or meeting my grandmother for the first time.
How would you describe your style?
Whenever I buy something at bit more pricey, such as a bag or a nice coat, I really reflect whether this piece would make a great addition to my existing wardrobe and if I will wear it more than one season. So, I would say that my style is a bit more classy and timeless, but never boring.
Has it changed since you became a Mum? Why/Why not?
I try not to think about my outfits too much. Clothes should make me feel comfortable, so I wear a lot of jeans, sneakers, skirts and maxi dresses. Well, basically anything that allows me to run after a two-year-old toddler. But whenever I am off “mom-duty”, I try to dress up and wear high-heels.
How would you describe your kids style?
My daughter is such a girl´s girl! She loves to wear dresses and jewelry, and she is crazy about handbags and sunglasses 
Your top three favorite kidswear brands ?
Il Gufo: I love the timeless looks of each piece and the great quality of fibers used.
Sophia Webster: They just make the cutest and coolest kids´ shoes eve!
Chloé: One of the nicest gifts my daughter has ever gotten was a beautiful Chloé Kids dress in baby pink. This might be the most worn piece of clothing she has, but believe or not, the dress still looks brand new.
Being a mother is… the most beautiful job in the world.
My kid is… the coolest person I have ever met.
What are some of the challenges you have faced as a mother?
The most challenging thing to me is the lack of time, or to put it in better words, managing my time between the kid, work, family, friends and of course myself.
How have you overcome them?
I think it just sorted itself out. Of course, in the first few months after my daughter was born, everything was very new to me and I had to adjust to my new role as a mother. But after a while, many things just sorted themselves out and became easier, especially now that my daughter goes to Kindergarten.
What message would you like to give other mothers on this special day?
Do not challenge yourself with being perfect or doing too many things at once! I had to learn the lesson that one cannot give 100% all the time and that it is ok to step back a little.
