I love British fashion.

Alexa Chung. Cara Delevigne. Kate Moss.

I love them and their effortless 'I'm British, fuck you' smiles.

I've always loved British style. When I was young my mum used to dress me in woollen skivvies, short tartan skirts, white tights and buckled up flats. I'm a sucker for collars, mini skirts, button down coats, ankle boots, chunky knits, winter hats, wooly scarves and layers. Not convenient when you live in Australia.

This week British Vogue released their 'Best Dressed of 2012' list and my five favourites were there; the previously mentioned three plus Natalie Massenet and Emma Stone. Emma is American but she is also hilarious so she is an exception.

Special mention goes to Cara Delevigne who, after a quick Google search, appears to be 20 years old and from an extremely well-to-do family as well as being a gorgeous model - tough life. But she seems fun and especially cheeky so I like her. And her eyebrows. I don't enjoy deadpan models on the runway and she is the antidote. Thank you, Cara.

Natalie just flaws me. So successful and a mother. That's a big deal to me, because I'm a working mother too.

Anyway, I'm in holiday and there is another Pinot Grigio with my name on it. Ladies.
