Adidas and Rodeo Fringe

PRINT

Back in the day I wanted to be a textile designer - design the print for fabric and make my clothes out of them, and become famous and work for/own Liberty. But I have since realised that I can't draw, and my enthusiasm ran a little dry. Really didn't mean for these to all be floral.

UH-OH

SALE AT SHEPHERD'S BUSH PAWNSHOP. DANGEROUS.

Head hedges

I never really get the point of hats and headresses like these, I would always feel like an idiot wearing them, but it always looks quite good in magazines. I like that these headresses actually look like hedges that have been transfered straight from ground to head.

Just remembered last summer when we made wreaths for our heads..I thought I was pretty cool then, so maybe I'm not too adverse to it

Grapes

I like things that look and feel old, like tshirts that have gone soft and thin from hundreds of washes, and colour that has faded like Tom's shirt.

Fastenings

An unintentional trend I seem to be following; lock and key earrings from one of those weird nutbar women who sell things by the side of the road off Brick Lane, and a belt ring from a charity shop in Manchester. I have been looking for a belt ring since I was about 16, after meeting a guy who had a really great thick gold one. It was quite Del Boy.

W-O-W

The English Patient is probably not everyone's first choice for a saturday night, but I loved it.

Hiya

I tore this photograph from a newspaper's magazine a few weeks ago, I forgot exactly who this is, but the article was about Laura Ashley, so maybe this is her? I really love her basket, an upgrade on the rucksack.

Polar pocket

The polar bear I bought in A1 Fabrics, see below, now has a home. And, I really, really wish this ring of my mum's was mine

Pearl lane

Why can't everyone dress like this on brick lane instead?

Bank Holiday Pink Lunch

And spring coloured cocktails

picnic dress

On the way to buy breakfast, Daisy bought this dress. It looks like a picnic blanket, but in the best way possible. And there was a bit left for living room decoration.

HANNAH HEARTS ENYA

Metal Hobby

I find it incredibly hard not to keep broken and discarded necklaces, bracelets and earings in the hope of giving them new life. The little baskets on the counters of charity shops are usually filled with tat, but you can find a few gems too. You can put pretty much anything on a chain, using safety pins if nothing else. I also can't really walk past a 20p gumball machine if it offers jewels of some description. In Manchester we usually use buying tonic as an excuse to have a go and get some 20p gems from the newsagents.

A1 FABRICS

A1 Fabric on the Goldhawk road is one of London's finest shops, and has everything to indulge the takiest to the most classy of tastes. I'm one for the tacky unfortunately, so I took loads of pictures of sequins... and bought an iron on polar bear.

Chiffon

Love all of this. Sunday Times Magazine 11/04
