Gold and Gingham

Vintage gold - a neck full of talismans

Print

I've always believed it's better to look crazy than boring - clashing print is a great way to lift the spirits and show a little personality. This was actually taken during lockdown on a daily walk - it was Saturday and so to mark the occasion(!) I wore two of my favourites: a charity shop leopard print skirt, and a Molly Goddard knitted t-shirt.

Joy

Taken many months ago between shots on set.

Thinking today about upcoming shoots: being creative, working out logistics, socially distancing, travelling... Lots to piece together! It's the little things that bring joy in life sometimes, like this camo bag - a present from my ever stylish Mum - and luminous red and pink stripes from Molly Goddard.

Parisian Footsteps

I'm reading a novel set in 1940s Paris at the moment. At the same time I've rediscovered these pictures from last year, when I was working in Paris for 10 days and also carrying out a very important daily pain au chocolat taste test. I recognise some of the bars, streets and hotels from the book - Paris is so beautiful (so intimidating)! I wonder when it will be possible to travel and walk the streets of foreign cities again? Paris is magical in the way it is possible to arrive in the city two hours after leaving London, stepping off the train at the forever busy Gare du Nord.

Frills

Fashion at the Foreign Office

The most breathtaking and beautiful show from Molly Goddard this weekend at LFW, which took place at the Foreign Office in Whitehall. My photos don't begin to do it justice...

Market Molly

I was right at home at Molly Goddard's show this weekend, after spending so many years wondering around Shepherd's Bush market - and any other market I can find. It really is where I feel in my element! Oh - and Molly's clothes were breathtaking too.

Molly Goddard

Last month I took part in a presentation for fashion week for my lovely friend Molly Goddard. Molly designed 21 totally unique dresses for the event, each one tailored differently depending on which of her friends was wearing it.

 Lots of tulle, pink, smocking, frill.... So beautiful and brilliant, and I was so proud both of Molly and to be part of it.

Can't wait what Molly does next...

WAG GIRLS

 My current wall hanging is this fab snakeskin t-shirt given to me all wrapped up in plastic by my lovely friend Molly. So many great things about it, particularly the label.

One Off: Inspiration for Autumn's outfits

 

 

Lots of checks, layers, texture, colour. Bit of a mish mash but I like the idea of having a different look for everyday.

There's a tiny taster of what's to come from One Off this Autumn here.
