We always ask people about their look and nine times out of ten they say, “Oh, I just kind of mix up some vintage stuff with the high street.”Fair enough, most of us don’t need to translate our clothes into words.

But how come she’s so self aware?
“I just had to write it on my fashionspace.com page,” she explains. “I have to do this all the time for my course, Fashion Media And Promotion.” Ah, that makes sense.
