Interview #12 Jessica Garland-Blake
Tell us something we don't know about you?
My Father is a photographer and takes beautiful photographs for postcards and calendars. When I was a small child I was (still am!) quite moody and one day I was with him when he was taking pictures of the Georgian doors around Dublin City, and he got me to stand by one of them. I love that postcard!
Best memory about this Sumer?
So far I have had a great summer, I can not think of the best memory but London in the summer has so much to offer. I love getting up early on a Sunday morning going to Columbia Flower Market, having breakfast in Ace hotel, going to a Lido or outdoor cinema!
Last thing you bought for your closet?
I bought a dress shirt from Topshop. It's striped (love stripes!) Browns and caramel. I bought because I know I can wear it a few different ways.
How would you describe your style?
I like to dress up when going out but for everyday, I'm obsessed with my Neuw jeans and light jerseys. I am really into dress shirts my style icons are Olsen twins and I am aiming to look like Iris Apfel when I hit 90!
Favorite brand?
I love Acne's casual jerseys, I adore Lanvin and own a beetle print clutch by them, I think Alber Elbaz is fantastic! I would love to own some dresses from Dries Van Noten. Some day I would also love a piece from Giambattista Valli!
Craziest item in wardrobe?
Myself and a friend queued from midnight until 9am for the Versace and H&M collaboration. I bought the leggings with the palm print. I wore them once. Actually I must dig them out!
What do you need for autumn?
I want big exhaguratted high neck jumpers. I would love to get my hands on the blue coat with orange pipping from Peter Pilotto. I'll be wearing my YSL pussy bow cream shirt with wool flares.
Where do you want to go on vacation?
I have been interning this summer so I am getting away in September. Myself and my boyfriend are going to Zanzibar. I have never been but it looks stunning. I am very keen to get to Cuba and a few years ago I went to Chile and Peru and I loved it so I hope to get back to South America.
What can we read about on your blog?
I like to write about my favourite places in London, so far I have just wrote about restaurants but I hope to add shops to this. I don't write too much when I do an outfit post as I feel people are so busy and I want to just have some nice images and a few sentences about it.
Favourite city in the world:
Having been living in London the last 5 years, every time I go home to Dublin I appreciate it more. In the last few years Dublin has changed so much, it now has so many amazing restaurants and bars, cool coffee shops and chic boutiques. However, my step mother is from Tokyo and every time we go back, I fall in love with that city more. There is nothing like it. It is always a surprise waking around Tokyo, I have always felt the shopping was amazing, I have never had a bad meal and I think you have to be wiling to get lost and just explore!!
