great, and anyone that disagrees
just doesn’t understand fashion.
True style has no rules!
Who is your style icon?
David Bowie. But then again, he
is my icon for everything. I just
adore his style, and how he was
never afraid to just change and do
something completely different. I
also admire Vivienne Westwood as
she never fails to wear and make
the most amazing garments...and
of course Iris Apfel, and all of the
amazing women on Advanced
Style.
What has been your all time
best Judy’s fair buy?
That’s a hard one! I think the last
one was definitely a pair of wooden
frames with cute watercolour
drawings inside. They look great
on my wall.
Where are your favourite hang
out spots in London?
Brick Lane is THE place for
vintage, and there is always a
kooky and cool market on in
18
Spitalfield’s. I also adore Covent
Garden, Berwick Street and
Carnaby Street, and Camden
Market too!
What are your plans for the
summer?
Work on my blog! I finally have
time to put my all into it, and
will hopefully be able to visit
some lovely places (and some
Judy’s fairs!) and take some
good photographs. I also am
intending to take a trip to France
with the family, and am leaving
all technology behind (except
something that plays music) as I
just really need a break!
What fashion item would you
never be seen dead in?
Oooh. I break a lot of rules,
especially those I set myself. I
guess right now it would have to
be a pair of Crocs. I have nothing
against them - they are really
comfy and great for kids but I feel
the relationship must end once
you hit your teens. I’m sorry Crocs.
You’ve just won Company
magazines Best Teen Style
Blogger award, does this feel
surreal?
It is! I can’t really believe people
read my blog! I adore all of the
other girls blogs...they are all
really talented and I should not
have been in the same category,
let alone winning. I am sure I’m not
as good as they are.
Does it feel odd to think that so
many people are fans of your
style? It must put some pressure
on you to dress quirkily all the
time...
It’s a bit strange, as I feel I can’t
repeat outfits as much (such a
guilty pleasure of mine). It’s also
hard sometimes as I don’t want to
drastically change but I want to
let my style develop - I’m sure I’ll
manage somehow!
