paris san-francisco mad
I’m just mad for San Francisco. It is like London and Paris stacked on top of each other.
mad age gone
I was very, very underdeveloped for my age, I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad.
eyelashes mad people
At sixteen, I was a funny, skinny little thing, all eyelashes and legs. And then, suddenly people told me it was gorgeous. I thought they had gone mad.
begging clothes shoot stuff year
M&S clothes just get better and better, year after year. I'm always begging for stuff from every shoot we do.
possible rule
My one big rule for the over-40s is don't try to dress like an 18-year-old. It's possible to be 'on-trend' when you're older - you just have to look for the right stuff. You don't have to spend a fortune, either.
buy copy elder fabric hated liked looked
My elder sister used to get the fashion magazines, and I would go through them and find things I liked and buy fabric and copy them. But I hated what I looked like. I mean, I was sooo skinny.
balance great key shape
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
I was a very, very shy, insecure teenager.
couple easy funny great kate love work worked
I love Kate Moss. I've worked with her a couple of times, and she is a great girl, really funny and easy to work with.
best bless jamie love
Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!
golden good looking
My golden rules for looking good are to moisturise to ridiculousness with a really rich moisturiser. And I always take my make-up off before going to bed.
bit days lines pull wisdom
I'm grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: 'Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired.' But I can pull it together if I have to.
bought coat lecture people realise soon
I think I had a fur coat that someone bought me from Portobello Market back in the 1960s, but I think as soon as you think about it, what it is you're wearing, make that connection, then you realise it's just not right. I don't lecture people about it, but it's not something I'd ever wear.
boring fluctuate love taking time
I love exercise, but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates, and taking dance lessons.
