A snap from my holiday in Corfu!
I spent a weekend visiting my good friend Hayley in London, and we got a photo with a headless man!

This month I'm interviewing Chloe from Of North. I am over the moon! Chloe's blog recently moved to Of North from Urban Tease and I've been following her for as long as I've been reading blogs. She's gorgeous, she puts clothes together in the most genius of ways and her writing is beautiful, honest and touching. Interviewing her has been wonderful! Here's what she had to say :)
Jess: I know that
