Me & Mine: Meet the Couples From our Valentine's Shoot

Friends For Life – Twiggy and Berry

Some friends are for a reason, some for a season and some are for life – so the saying goes. Meet Vogue Beauty Journalist and the best friend she met in secondary school – Berry – for some heartwarming chatter.

What is the nicest thing you have ever done for each other?

Twiggy: My birthday wasn’t too long ago and Berry came all the way from America and surprised me with a trip to Amsterdam. She jam packed the day with activities and we honestly had the best time.

Berry: Twiggy has done so many amazing things for me ever since we were young. She knows that I love stars and she got me this thing where you can name a star after yourself, took me to Disneyland – so much stuff.

What is the one piece of jewellery you can never take off?

Berry: Earrings, I always have earrings.

Twiggy: You actually taught me to always have earrings.

Berry: You don't like having your rings on

Twiggy: I always have my rings on, and my hoops, I need my hoops!

Mum’s The Word – Harriet and Janet

Say hello to some sass – Presenter and DJ, Harriet Rose, has us roaring with laughter alongside her bestie – her mum!

Could you describe your relationship?

Janet: A love/hate one.

Harriet: What do you mean love/hate? Umm no, we are very close which means we are also very argumentative.

Janet: [We] speak virtually everyday.

Harriet: Yeah but we argue like cats and dogs as we’re really similar.

Janet: And I like to know what she is doing all the time…

Harriet: Which is really annoying…

Janet: [I like to know] what her love life is like.

Harriet: Well there is nothing to tell!

Janet: That’s why I keep asking!

How would you describe each other in three words?

Harriet: Intelligent, loud, opinionated.

Janet:  Oooh I was going to say something very similar – gorgeous, gobby and thoughtful.

What is the nicest thing you have done for one another?

Janet: Inviting me to take part in this shoot! [laughs]

Harriet: My mum does so many nice things - she's one of those people that puts everybody else before her. One of the things she does is that if I don't like my meal when we're out, she'll always swap mine for hers. I think that is the kindest thing.

Dance Partner For Life – Patricia and J

Finding someone that dances to your rhythm is not to be sniffed at and this twinkle-toed duo let us in on how their shared passion created a lifelong friendship. 

How did you meet?

Patricia: When I first moved to London I was producing, directing and choreographing a short dance film and looking for dancers to play alongside me. The film was kind of about my relationship and it was actually a mutual friend that recommended J. Right away I thought – this person is perfect for it.

J: Yes! You put a call out on Instagram and then our mutual friend tagged me in it and that’s how it all started. Once we met we were like “Oh we have way too much in common to just do this one project!”

Patricia: …and we just became best friends.

How do you usually mark Valentine's Day, if at all?

J: [laughs] I mean, we have very different stories!

Patricia: I usually go out with my boyfriend – do a cute dinner situation.

J: …and then there is me! It’s either a very lonesome one in a nice way – I give what I need to myself like a nice movie or whatever. Or I’m just around friends. I like being alone though.

Patricia: I think we’ll do something together this year, I feel it.

Do either of you own any really sentimental jewellery?

Patricia: When my Grandpa passed away he gave me, my mum, and my sister a little bit of money to buy something so me and my sister have matching rings that we always wear. I also have a really funny Sterling Silver ring that has a joke on it between me and my boyfriend. Actually, all of my jewellery is very sentimental to me.

J: Opposite to me, I’m not a ‘thing’ person.
