LEah harkEss, 36, lives in London with her husband tommy, 38, and their two children. she runs her own baking business, Norah’s Brownies, and hires three or four outfits a week from London based wearthewalk.co.uk when I’m baking, I wear Uniqlo trousers and T-shirts and put my hair in a ponytail — but most evenings I transform to girl-abouttown, wearing unusual designer dresses which would cost thousands of pounds to buy.
It all started a year ago when my business took off and I started to do masses of social media, taking pictures of my baking and of myself at glamorous parties.
while I had plenty of clothes, I didn’t want to wear the same thing twice. I’m fortunate that wear The walk is just minutes from my house, so I can pop in every day or so. I pay £60 a month or £129 for a one-off, like this dress by Michaela Frankova and have access to a stunning wardrobe worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Last Christmas, at the Cuckoo Club in Mayfair, I wore a £500 red dress by a little-known brand called Ukulele and people were coming up to me all evening asking where it was from.
I felt a million dollars, never mind a few hundred!
