I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.

Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.

I eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.

Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.

I ate like a horse when I was younger, and not very sensibly, though no one ever believes that.

I was very, very underdeveloped for my age, I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad.

Knitwear can play a vital part in layering. The simplicity of a lightweight cardigan makes it one of the best ways to layer outfits. I love granddad cardis for winter, worn over a vintage lace shirt, waistcoat and full skirt with slouchy boots.
