WHICH FRIEND ARE YOU?

I consider myself very lucky to have a wide variety of friends.  By this I mean, although we have thousands of things in common, each of our personalities are vastly different.  In my opinion, this is why we will be friends forever and ever.  

Using a few of my favourite ladies as inspiration, I tried to categorise my friends:

1)  The Sensible One.  If you have always been conscientious and followed a well-ordered career path, thinking three steps ahead, it is likely that you are the sensible one.  You can often be recognised by your immaculate hair, clothes clothes and smart shoes with a sensible heel.  Favourite shops include Reiss, Coast and Ted Baker.

2)  The Crazy One.  I have a few of these.  The crazy one is known for keeping life interesting with her impulsive decisions, jet-setting and intriguing view on life.  She is often found in oversized woolly jumpers, kooky hairstyles and chunky jewellery.  Favourite shops include Topshop and funky charity stores.

3)  The Trendy One.  This is the girl who could rock a bin sack and persuade you it is couture.  When out shopping she will pick up the last thing you would ever go near from the rack, try it on and look fresh off the catwalk.  She is usually sporting a lot of black, chunky heels and a leather jacket.  Can be found in every shop under the sun.

4)  The Ambitious One.  This proactive lady lives life asking herself ‘what else can I do?’  She does not enjoy sofa days or long films and usually works for herself.  She is also a fitness freak, participating in triathlons and bike rides across Europe, crazy things like that.  Her outfit of choice is usually some sort of sports gear but has been known to throw on a little black dress at least once a week and dance the night away.  Favourite stores include River Island, Miss Selfridge and Veromoda.

5)  The Quiet One.  This friend is an excellent listener and group agony aunt but be sure to listen when she does speak because her witticisms are worth the wait.  She has an understated fashion style, preferring jeans and a hoody throughout the day, but also enjoys letting out her wild child when the mood strikes.  Favourite shops include New Look, American Apparel and Mango.

Each of these wonderful ‘types’ are a vital piece in my beloved friendship jigsaw, and even though the image on each piece is different to the next, together they combine to make a crazy, colourful collage which I would not change for the world.
