Like many gen y's I headed for my 'right of passage' to the mother country, London, England. She was a cruel mistress with her lousy weather and horrible food but she did make up for it with asos.com, Topshop and Miss Alexa Chung.
Chung epitomises London Street chic mixing the high street and designer in a very 'I just threw this on' too cool aesthetic. In 2009 she was awarded Best TV Presenter for both the Elle Style and Glamour Awards.
Only a whisper in our ears down under she graced nearly every cover of every magazine, newspaper and weekly in my 16 month stint in the UK. It was an Alexa overload!
Shortly after arriving home my eye began to twitch when I realised the it girl was gone with only a few scant sightings across our pages. To get my fix I now have to fork out into the double digits for a UK Grazia or Look magazine or when I'm feeling desperate I'll even take a quick hit from Google images. All I can say is; it must be that je nai sais quoi...
