Posted in Design., Entertainment., Fashion., Lily Cole, London, Marks and Spencer, Oxford Circus, Travel., Vogue, www.clairebriston.com on February 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Many dislike Lily Cole as a model, citing that she looks too much like a “demonic porcelain doll”, or liken her to “that alien off the Playstation adverts”. I however, disagree, I find her beautiful. Shes curvy, she has amazingly beautiful hair, she has amazing skin; in a word she’s a ‘proper English rose’. AND [...]

So on Monday (18th), I traveled all the way back down to London, again, this time by an all expenses paid train. A very early start again though, had to get up at 4.45am! horrendous!
James walked to the station to wave me off, I was distraught, I REALLY don’t know how people do [...]
