What are you wearing right now?
A Titus Andronicus T-shirt, some black jeans, a striped jacket and a headscarf that keeps blowing off in the wind.
What can't you live without?
Denim cut-off shorts – on their own or over tights or leggings, they go with everything.
What's in your wardrobe?
I have lots of dress-up clothes. I'm a real fantasy dresser and I love playing around with jokey bits and pieces; I think fashion should always be fun.
Describe the best outfit you have ever worn.
I have a zebra stripe jumpsuit that I adore, and which normally comes out from June onwards – just in time for the festival season!
Who are your style icons?
I love French actress Anna Karina for her smoky eyes, and Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads for her simple but quirky look.
What's in your make-up bag?
By Terry rose lip balm is great, and I always have eye-liner, some very red lipstick, mascara and bright orange blush.
If you could live in any decade, style-wise which would it be?
I'd go for the 1920s, because you could just swan around in amazing dresses all day. I love that flapper look and all the embellishment that was around back then.
How often do you look in the mirror?
Mmmm. Definitely more than a few times a day!
Any fashion confessions you want to share with us?
A few years ago, I went through a bit of an Edie Sedgwick stage, with a short, cropped and bleached bob. But I was a bit on the chubby side, and it was certainly not my best-dressed phase. Not a look to try again.
What's your secret style tip?
Get dressed quick. Otherwise you start thinking too hard about it, and that gets confusing and frustrating.
