life swap?

Please, Billie J.D Porter?

This girl literally has it all.

The teen rebel started out at just 15 writing for NME online and since, has amassed an impressive list of contributing credits to her career including: Dazed & Confused, Vice and I.D as well as countless, other online blogging / interview gigs. Kanny jammy at 18 if you ask me.

In the past two years Billie has interviewed celebrities from Snoop Dogg to Justice.

She is valued for her wry interview style and immersionist approach which French style-bible Jalouse, enjoyed so much, they enlisted her as a regular contributor.

Less of that, now to the point of this post. The girl has style; as well as her life I could do with her wardrobe, ooh and your hair.

See what I mean? She really pulls off (effortlessy) scruffy grunge, reminiscent of 90's Britain. I am a fan.

Envy Billie's light-hearted, life happenings at - http://www.billiejd.blogspot.com / twitter.

She is now dabbling in the documentary scene and can be seen on The Joy of Teen Sex, Channel4, Wednesdays. Acting as a roving reporting, she investigates all sorts of sex taboos from private piercings to glamour girls.

Can I have your life please?

unlikely style icon.

Just a quick post to express my admiration for This is England '86s character Lol's style.

The show is a spin-off of the original film This is England released in 2007, set in 1983; it tells the gripping coming-of-age tale of tweleve year old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) who is taken under the wing of a pack of wayward, irreverent skinheads.

I say unlikely as I'm not a massive follower of trends that were big before my time. But the styling team have got it bang on with Lol. Even to the point where her mannish dressing outswarves that of even her male counterparts including her husband to be Woody, played by Joe Gilgun.

She has a similar look and attitude to the original instigators of girl power- Annie Lennox and Debbie Harry; effortless mannish power dressing with a real edge.

Check List:

Fred Perry (buttoned to the top as a standard) in a gingham, plaid or tartan

Distressed Black Levi's

Dirty Doc Martens,
Oversized Crombie Coat

What better excuse do I need than to survey the internet's offerings of a Fred Perry fix?
Make like a real man and opt for one from the male section of the website/asos (1&2)/urban outfitters (3) as opposed to an over-sized 'boyfriend' equivalent in the womenswear department.

Top three;
