This post is a love letter to my friend Laetitia of Mademoiselle Robot who took these photos of me (The jacket, skirt, top and boots are all from ASOS) at the end of last year. Laetitia and I have known of each other for a while, but I feel like 2015 was the year when our friendship really stepped into technicolor.
In my early 20s I thought I had all the friends I needed - I didn't have loads - but since I was now an adult and had quite a few people I could talk to about important things and spend time with happily, I probably didn't need to make any more. That was dumb. Early 20s me was a dumbo. Now I know that one of the best things about getting older is how you can make more friends at different points in your life. I cherish the close knit group who have known me since my teens, they are my family. But now I understand how great it is to find people with whom you can share different aspects of your life. Laetitia is one of the funniest, kindest, and most interesting people I know. She's immensely supportive but also likes sending me weird Larry David cartoons on WhatsApp. We share a strong interest in the lives of certain Australian Instagram health beauties, and she always has the best advice when it comes to tricky sartorial decisions. She's a writer, photographer, stylist and the mother of a little person who is now one of my favourite pals. So I guess what I'm saying is don't ever think you have enough friends. You definitely don't.
