I get days when I just really want to turn up the crazy levels and just go completely off the rails with my outfits. When I push the boundaries, somehow, I find out new ways of making things work on real-life practical level. It’s like trying on things you initially think will be the most madcap idea in the world but then discovering ‘Hey…that actually looks pretty cool….. ok, Saturday outfit sorted!’. I have a limited wardrobe to actually go truly crazy (my dream is to go play dress-up at Angels costumes) but yesterday, with some more free time than usual, I just indulged in some quality ‘Go mad time’ with hats, masks and big dresses. A rather fun way of passing a rainy day.

Hi! I found out ya blog from Teen Vogue and I love it! Love the pics of yourself and crazy outfits. I really wish I have that amount of wardrobe.
On the basis that you know more about fashion than me, could you possibly do a post explaining how one ought to pronounce such tricky names as Givenchy, Balenciaga, Ghesquiere etc? I’m not quite sure, and know I’d look stupid if I got it wrong… As a kid I thought it was Ver-sayss, to rhyme with ‘place’…
Hi Jay,
I don’t really wanna do a post without sounding a little pompous and patronising but this thread at fashion forum The Fashion Spot is very useful for talking through the different brand pronounciations

Hope that helps!
A friend told me about your blog and I must say it’s quite lovely.
Thank you! Just what I needed.
It was by googling the pretty ballerinas that I found your blog. I adore ballerinas and I enjoyed your contribution. So, I just wanted to let you know that your blog is read by a Serbian woman in Belgrade. Keep up the good fashion…
