About Me

I love: street style from around the world; the wardrobe_remix flickr group; '60s and '70s mod motifs; vintage fashion finds on ebay; dressing like my music and film icons (Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, Julie Christie, Jean Shrimpton, the Kinks, the Jam); the freedom to mix vintage and modern pieces; finding my own style on my own terms. I want to be the next Joan Didion or Tobias Wolff, or the female Wes Anderson.
