Eight Questions

(Image explanations from top: My sister and I in Greece ages ago, Sigur Ros, Me at LFW a couple of seasons ago taken by Refinery 29 - see here, photobooth images with my Uni friends, a still from the rather wonderful September Issue and my friends and I on the last day of high school)

Madeleine from Swellegant Ponderlings has tagged me to answer these eight questions, and I never play with these things so I thought it was high time that I changed that!

1. What never fails to cheer you up?
My Mum and Sister (who's birthday it is today, Happy Birthday Em!) in hysterics dancing around or singing Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler at the top of our voices. Or my baby neice Ruby's smiley face.

2. If you could live one day of your life over again what would it be?
The first time we went to Latitude in 2008 and we saw Sigur Ros, it was just a pretty much perfect few days, this day is also one of the reasons behind my tattoo. Again it was with my Mum and my Sister who are always the most fun!

3. What do you like best about yourself?
I think I'd say my confidence these days, all the way through High School I was the geeky girl with glasses (and then braces...) and good grades who was ridiculously shy, I never even put my hand up in lesson and kept firmly within my group of friends who I had been friends with since Primary School...

But then in Sixth Form the braces came off, the contact lenses went in and my friends went their separate ways (even though we're all still bestest friends) so I had to make a whole new circle of friends. I then decided to run for Head Girl and got voted in, went on various trips abroad with people I didn't know, got chucked into Uni halls with strangers and most recently moved to London for 6 months for an internship and got thoroughly chucked in at the deep end of the fashion industry. All put together I am now a much more confident person who is more than happy chatting to strangers and showing my face on a blog!

4. What would you change about yourself?
My eyesight, I have ridiculously bad vision and would love to be able to read what I'm putting on my head in the shower!

5. What have you enjoyed most about blogging?
I love being able to talk about whatever I like without the confines of someone looking over my shoulder or editing. I also love the community feel of it all, I chat to you guys more than my real life friends!

6. Who or what is your ultimate source of inspiration?
Young creative people, there's nothing better than seeing someone your ages producing something amazing. London Fashion Week is also a bit special.

7. If you could be anywhere in the world where would you be?
Home. I'm coming across as such a homebody in this post! I do just have the most fun with my family... Plus my bed is incredibly comfy!

8. Who would you invite to your ideal dinner party?
Let's go with... Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Ross Noble, Wayne Coyne, Sigourney Weaver, Josie Long, Mary Portas, Nick Frost and Joseph Gordon Levitt. It would be the oddest dinner party ever but I'd have fun.

Sorry for this turning out to be a bit heartfelt!
Now, I've got to tag eight bloggers to answer these questions! You don't have to answer but if you fancy it, go for it!

I choose:
Winnie of Diamond Canopy
Gem of Gem Fatale
Selina of Flying Saucer
Alex of Alex Loves

I can only choose 8 bloggers but I wanted to choose so many more so even if you're not on this list and you fancy answering them, go for it!

P.S. Looks like I'm off down to London on Thursday for some exciting things, if anyone fancies a cheeky meet up, fling me an email!
