Sometimes you just spot someone who nails it. Their style just feels so effortless, and so right for them (and possibly for you; but not in a Single White Female way). That was the case at the Bella Freud perfume launch, last week, where this amazing woman caught my eye. Her low-key, relaxed approach is quite a simple formula – and one that’s right up my alley. I couldn’t help but glance over at her, repeatedly. She looked elegant and confident and casually chic;  in her, cropped jeans, tunic top, patterned scarf and suede mules. It was only afterwards that I found out that it was Jeny Howorth, the 1980s model. Famous for her blonde crop and gamine looks, Howorth often appeared on the cover of Elle and iD magazines. Do you remember her?
