My Sweet 16 - Laura's favourite pieces

Laura our Marketing and Press Princess showcases her tres-cool collection this week, check out her favourite 16 pieces to date...

1. Zoe Karssen Numero Uno Sweatshirt - I bought this from NOLA, a boutique in Brighton's North Laine that I am obsessed with, they have such great collections every year. Grey is my absolute favourite colour and I love the horror movie style writing too. I would wear this every day if I could!

2. Anna Karenina, my all time best book. I can't believe it was written in the 19th Century, by a man, he really gets inside the female mind like no other author.

3. I love Anna Karenina so much I had one of Levin's quotes 'Whatever our fate, we have made it' handstamped on my PTD circle scallop necklace.

4. Twin Peaks Box Set - My name is Laura Palmer, so when this series came out, when I was 11, there was no getting away from it! Luckily, I think it's absolutely brilliant, like everything David Lynch does. I walked down the aisle to the theme from the show too.5. Kim Gordon, Girl in a Band. Sonic Youth are one of my favourite bands, but the reason I picked this is my 4-year-old son chose this as my Christmas present, totally independently. Maybe he's going to grow up to be a rock star!

6. Heart locket - my parents bought me this when I was 8, because I was obsessed with the film Annie. It even has a retro picture of my Mum and Dad in the 80's inside.

7. PTD Geo necklace. I really like the shapes of this PTD necklace, I went for gold charms and a silver necklace as I love mixed metals. It’s stamped with my son's initials.

8. Photograph of my Granny and I. This polaroid is almost as old as me, so it's pretty faded! It means a lot to me as I was very close to my Grandma, she died about 5 years ago and I still think of her all the time. She always encouraged my love of reading and writing, I would never have taken the career path I have without her input.

9. Lucas PawPaw Ointment. This stuff is like magic! It cures anything from chapped lips to random rashes. One of my besties lives in Australia and she brings me some whenever she's visiting the UK.

10. Hush No1 Linen Spray - I'm allergic to perfume, so the only way I can get a nice scent is to spray my clothes. I'm a big fan of Hush's clothes and they always arrive smelling amazing, so I had to get my hands on this.

11. Posh Totty Map picture - I bought this for my husband to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. The location is Stoke Newington in London where we met and lived for 6 years. It will always mean a lot to us.

12. Martha Wainwright CD- This is the first gift my hsuband ever bought me. She has an amazing voice and we've seen her play live loads since. This CD always reminds me of being in the first flush of love - awww.

13. Rayban Clubmaster Sunglasses - I've had these forever and they are totally bent of shape now but I love them. Essential for hiding away my Mum eyebags!

14.Wolf and Gypsy Dungarees - I adore dungarees, I will wear them even when they go out of fashion - so comfy! These vintage grey beauties are from our Sydney St neighbours Wolf and Gypsy, another one of my favourite Brighton shops.

15. Superga trainers - I live in Superga trainers, they are so comfortable and go with everything, I'm rubbish in heels so they are my go to footwear. These are brand new and I'll be wearing them all summer I hope.

16. Jade vintage bangle - I love vintage jewellery, this bracelet is from America and from the 1920's. I wish I could find out the story behind who used to own it, I'd love to know.
