One of the things I miss about home is the funny British sayings. Here at Free People I get a lot of people confused when things like “I’m just going to pop over”, “He’s full of beans”, “I had to scarper”, and “you’re off your trolley” slip out of my mouth. I forget that they have no idea what I’m talking about, it makes me giggle slightly and them, too. There’s a certain amount of humor in the British sayings that make me like them a lot more; they’re a little cheeky, maybe it’s the twist of cockney in them that makes them that slightly more intriguing and puzzle-like.

I find I always have a slightly bohemian look even if I choose to go all out relaxed and, I think that’s because of the personality I have. Read More
