Babypunk, newromantic, realnightclubber, stylist, author, maker of stuff, Londoner, vintage caravan entrepreneur, fiftysomething, hat wearer, winelover, opinionated, dresser-upper, travel addict. 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!

in distress

By Helen Carey

Frayed, fringed, textured, distressed. I’ve a penchant for Dickensian-raggedy-urchin stylee clothes. Put it down to Jack Wilds Artful Dodger being an early style icon perhaps.

Monochrome Floral

By Helen Carey

Current favourite monochrome floral cigarette pants from a local store ‘Luchelle’ £25 #bargain (6 Pier St, Ventnor, Isle of Wight). I do love local small fashion outlets as you can always find something not-on-the-high-st and a little bit other amongst the frocks for ladies that cruise (no, not in that way).

baby punk

By Helen Carey

Too young to be a proper punk …. but after school my friend Carol and I trundled up the Central Line heading for the Marquee Club … where I am sure we saw lots of famous punk bands but always had to leave early to trundle back suburbward.
