29 April 2013 style icon: jane birkin

Jane Birkin is one of my biggest style influences and icons. She is an english actress who lived in the south of France (doesn't that sound ideal?)

Think loose t-shirts, silk blouses, crotchet dresses, peasant styled tops, delicate chains and distressed denim.

Some of my favourite quotes from her:

If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.

My mother was right; When you've got nothing left all you can do is get silk underwear and start reading Proust.
