Stick to the classics, and you can't ever go wrong. I see old ladies on the street who have fabulous style and realize it's because they are probably wearing really classic items that they've had for years and years. I think if you find something that suits you, you should just stick to it.

Not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes life just sucks.
I don't ever want to stop learning. And I really want to learn French fluently. It would be great to go and live in France.
Being excitable and passionate is what makes you look good because if you're engaged in what's going on, you radiate youth.
Everything doesn't have to be perfect, I've realised. You can learn as you go.
I think Maje typifies that French vibe where it's simple items that are very practical, very wearable but also, like, incredibly chic and expensive-looking.
If I know something's expected of me, I won't wear it or do it. It just seems boring.
I think it's every girl's dream, a little bit, to be a model because it seems from the outside to be a glamorous industry and I was really into fashion, and I remember just being excited and wanting to be part of that.
I'm indie through and through. I've always gone out with boys in bands.
No one says the word 'quirky' much in England. I guess because people are more naturally eccentric.
People comment on my voice. They always ask me if I'm ill.
My dad cut my hair once - I wanted a bob and he gave me a bowl cut. That was a tough few years.
My father taught me how to draw horses - for this I shall be eternally grateful.
I'm interested in aesthetics, in the way things look, in finding something in an image that maybe people haven't seen.
I grew up in a very visual household. My dad is a designer; my sister is a designer. My brother is an amazing architect who does music. But I think in the Chung household, how things looked was an important part of who you are.
I didn't mean to be a TV presenter, I just hated modeling. It feels very odd that it's turned into this 'It-girl' thing. What does that even mean? I wear clothes and I go out. It's so weird.
When I was a model, I started with an opinion, but was encouraged to lose it. It began as play-acting, but then I lost sight of myself a bit: so when I did the audition for 'Popworld' and they asked my opinion, I felt like crying with happiness.
I love Gap for affordable men's sweaters.
I'm in love with lots of different things. I do love love, though. I don't think love should make you feel uneasy. When you feel sick, I don't think that's love - that's infatuation. Someone who makes you feel like that is exciting - it's the one that you imagine when you think of an amazing affair - but that's not actually a stable love.
My brain is a big cluster of stuff. It moves quickly and loses focus quickly, so I need many projects to keep me stimulated - it's a luxury to be able to do lots of different things: style, write, present, DJ or just consult. It can't be any other way; I think I would shrivel up and fall asleep forever.
I went out with a 40-year-old when I was 19, and since then, I don't really think much about numbers meaning anything. But I do feel like maybe I've neglected to work on developing emotionally and taking care of myself.
I'm rubbish - I'm really not good at my beauty regimes.
I don't think love should make you feel uneasy. When you feel sick, I don't think that's love - that's infatuation.
I don't want to say, 'Yeah, I changed at 30,' because no, it was chronically the same. But I got more relaxed about things.
Everyone I've ever fallen in love with, I just fell in love with! I didn't date them to try.
I admire American women because they are really good at putting a look together that is sophisticated. As British girls, we lean toward being a bit more messy, a bit more undone, and maybe a little more eccentric.
I'm always hairy. I swear too much.
No experience exists unless it's a shared one.
I'd say I have more shoes than anything else; they're a good way to update a look. Bags and shoes - it's like decorating a cake.
When I used to work in television, a tip was rather than looking down the barrel of the camera and imagine people watching, which is terrifying, imagine your most discerning friend observing you, and imagine you're just talking to them.
I respect people that find writing easy, because I have focus problems. I'll spend five days eating cereal and YouTubing and two hours writing the article.
I'm just really good at dressing my body's proportions.
A roll-neck and some flat shoes is about as good as it gets.
I've been learning French a bit through my work with Longchamp, and I've been in France quite a lot. And I really love how they express themselves. I especially love when something is untranslatable.
I'm bad at trends. Just wear what you want and what suits you.
I always write 'Magic Potion' on my perfume bottles so when I use them, it feels magical - I make spells in the morning when I put them on.
I'd love to interview Mick Jagger, but that might be scary.
My best party friend...? Fifi Brown. And Poppy Delevingne. She's so fun and so inclusive - she really is the glue.
I feel like it's weird to list all my crap qualities.
I've got an allergy to looking too neat.
I spend most of my money in Prada or plane tickets.
I mix my own lipsticks, so I don't really keep track of the brand as it's usually a number of them I've smushed together.
I'm really interested in photography, like every other human being.
I'd like to give anyone else a go at being scrutinised. Daily. It's not easy.
If my boyfriend finds me sexy, then I don't need that kind of male attention from anyone else.
I think you achieve a lot more through love than negativity.
I'm not preaching about things you should do, I'm not political or anything. I'm probably not the best role model.
Music is my sport, and I'm the number-one athlete.
I would get very bored if I just did one thing.
I'm not 100% nice all the time, so I find it quite hard to be really pleasant.
