"Growing up I was never lonely, having two sisters around you all the time was great because I always had friends."

Tell us what it was like growing up as a triplet. Do you have a favourite memory from when you were younger?

Charlee: It was pretty cool. Growing up I didn't have a lot of friends, so having two sisters to hang with was fun. We spent lots of time together at Western Springs park trying to play with the chickens there.

Jaclyn: Growing up I was never lonely, having two sisters around you all the time was great because I always had friends. I’m not sure what my childhood would’ve been like without them.

One of my favourite memories was when we all had our TV presenter phase, we would set a camera up and pretend we had an audience and tried to be like Erin Simpson.

Was modelling something you had both always wanted to do? How did you fall into it?

Charlee: Yes, it was something I have always wanted to do. One day, I secretly applied to our agency Unique model management online, and not too long after, they responded and I got my first job.

Jacyln: I always wanted to get into modelling but I never had the confidence to put myself forward. So when Charlee signed to Unique Model Management she mentioned she was an identical triplet and Ursh and Andrea wanted to meet us, and from then on I was signed. I would never had gotten the opportunity to become a model if it wasn’t for Charlee.


What is your favourite shoot to date, and was it with one another?

Jaclyn: Definitely the recent shoot for the Zoe & Morgan new collection, being able to shoot with an amazing team, gorgeous new pieces but also Charlee in such a natural setting, was amazing. There’s a couple more shoots that come to mind but when Charlee and I shot for Brooke Tyson Ritual on Waiheke for her bridalwear it was such an experience, and the photos that came out from that shoot were amazing!

Alongside modelling, you both seem to be quite creative, especially with cooking! What do you love doing when you're not working?

Charlee: I switch between baking and painting even though I'm not the greatest painter, I love to try!
Right now I love baking, especially cookies! I have found the best cookie time recipe and subway cookie recipe!

Jaclyn: I absolutely love cooking, getting creative in the kitchen and cooking for everyone to enjoy makes me so happy. I love recreating recipes and then adding my own flair to it, to make it my own (even if sometimes the results can be questionable). Other than cooking I love to spend time with my family and friends, discovering new spots to eat or a different track to walk.

What are your favourite pieces from the Chapter Two collection, and how would you style them?

Charlee: I love the Sirena hoops and the Delphina hoops. My style is very basic and easy to throw together, but I would pair these earrings with a simple singlet, dress pants or jeans, my doc martens and a blazer.

Jaclyn: I love all the pieces but the Delphina hoops and Alana necklace definitely caught my eye, they are both such unique and classy pieces.

I have also got my eye on the new Caitlin crisp Wilmer dress in sky blue which I think would suit these pieces perfectly, depending on the occasion flats or heels would suit this combo.

What have you been up to over summer?

Charlee: We spent the summer in Whitianga, at the beach and hanging with friends.

Jaclyn, our partners and I visited Crayfish Bay and went cliff jumping into the water, such a fun adrenalin rush.

We jet skied from Whitianga to Cathedral Cove, read books and I completed my first crochet bucket hat.

Jaclyn: Almost all of my friends (including Charlee) were in Whitianga over summer so I got to catch up with most of them, we went to a gig in the Coromandel and tanned at the beach. We ate out... a lot! Espys Cafe was my favourite place for breakfast and coffee. 

The highlight for me was going to Crayfish Bay, I've always wanted to go there and we finally made the trip. The views from the rocks were amazing and the water was so blue.
