I was going for the pre-war styles of the 30s, where jackets were more fitted, smaller hats were commonplace, and tweedy browns and greens were more prevalent. This was definitely the hardest outfit, as I find it’s quite hard to find 30s inspired pieces, but I think I did a-ok. I based it all around flat feather cap. Very 30s. I loved this green plaid jacket, which was believe it or not, Juicy Couture and I finished off this utilitarian chic look with the dotty blouse and khaki skirt.

I met Emma Block at Akeela’s birthday party and I got to talking and found out she was an illustrator, who’d just graduated with a 1st. Nice! She told she’d love to be involved, so I sent her off the brief and this was her finished product. She went with the theme of going off on an adventure.
