Photos: There’s Something About Mary Charteris

Doing the titanic pose with my buddies on New Year’s holiday.

I take “Just Kids” with me everywhere. The way Patti Smith phrases things is so genius. Whenever I lose inspiration while writing lyrics, this book helps me.

I’ve been making photo albums from my Polaroids for years, so this comes with me everywhere, too.

My husband took this picture of me in Mustique this year on the last day of our holiday.

I love this jacket. It’s so silly. I found a dude who custom-makes them online. Online shopping is one of my weaknesses.

I always get my nails done at Marie’s Nails when I’m in New York or L.A. They can draw anything you want. I’ve got a thing for mushroom toadstools.

Playing around with my favourite boots in a star frenzy.

I have a boot fetish—for all shapes and sizes.
