Helen

babypunk, newromantic, realnightclubber, stylist, author, maker of stuff, Londoner, vintage caravan entrepreneur, fiftysomething, hat wearer, winelover, opinionated, dresser-upper, traveladdict *insert#whereapplicable. Floated over to the Isle of Wight in a silver caravan 11 yearsish ago. Can’t find a fashionesque blog for someone like me so having a go. Is more scary than I thought!
