bored terrified being-bored
I'm terrified of being bored and not learning,
nice pleasant hard
I'm not 100% nice all the time, so I find it quite hard to be really pleasant.
heartbroken character glasses
The problem with heartbreak is that nobody can help you when you're heartbroken. Nobody and nothing. Not the films you watch alone desperately searching for a character who feels the way you do, not the glasses or bottles of whisky you keep by your bed and certainly not Instagram.
thinking style french-woman
It's funny because I think that both France and Britain are known for their distinctive styles, and everyone says that France is so chic and elegant but I think, more than that, French women are renowned for dressing in what suits them.
self-esteem past thinking
I just think that whole culture of hatred, and also feeling like it's your right to judge people when you don't know them, is really f***ed up. So I'm pleased I experienced that side of it, so I can learn to be a better person on the other side of it. I'm sure in the past I've been judgmental too ... Self esteem, that's something you've got to work on yourself. I know for me it's different day to day.
dad cutting years
My dad cut my hair once - I wanted a bob and he gave me a bowl cut. That was a tough few years.
kissing hair years
Hair is so linked to how we feel and everyone goes for something radical after a break-up, but my advice if you've suffered heartbreak or you’ve broken up with someone is not to touch your hair. It's the first thing women do but you're not in a fit state to make long-term decisions. You'll have to spend four years growing it out. Buy a lipstick instead. Go and kiss loads of other people, but don't f***ing touch your hair.
guitar play trying
I play guitar a bit. I'm trying to learn drums - I feel like I can play violin. I've never tried, but I just feel like I can.
effort effortless
Looking effortless takes a lot of effort,
simple thinking chic
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.
bored one-thing ifs
I would get very bored if I just did one thing.
role-models political roles
I'm not preaching about things you should do, I'm not political or anything. I'm probably not the best role model.
differences people knows
I don't like it when people don't know the difference between 'their', 'they're', 'there'.
fashion new-york style
London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour.
