Tuesday
Wake up in Paris. Spent 12 hours in a car driving back from the Benicassim music festival in Spain yesterday. Stayed in the Mama Shelter hotel in Paris, designed by Philippe Starck. Morning spent walking around Paris in the rain, then a six-hour drive to Calais. Finally get dropped at Victoria station. Feels good to be back in London.

Wednesday
Had a really good sleep. Breakfast with Dad in Primrose Hill, then go to Mum's house in west London. Get a call from my agent telling me to 'run' to Claridge's for a Versus fitting. When you are a model you are always on call, especially when the client is Versace. Christopher and Tammy Kane are there. Christopher, who designs the Versus line, is one of nicest designers ever. I enjoy fittings; it's fascinating watching a collection develop. Donatella Versace arrives, relaxed yet buzzing with energy. Talk to her sitting in a cupboard dressed only in my underwear. Surreal.

Thursday
Shooting two editorial stories for Japanese Elle with the photographer Mari Sarai. The first is in Shoreditch, which is great as I haven't been round there for a while. I'm wearing the new Marc Jacobs collection, which has a vintage feel, very me. The second is more punky, grungy, young - very London. I have to stand on fences and kick rubbish bins over! It's great to do two such different shoots. Sometimes as a model you really have to get into character. I like that. It's a bit of escapism and that's what fashion is about.

Friday
A free weekend. Nice not to be working. I'm at the Secret Garden Party festival in East Anglia. As a model you have to be constantly available to your agency for jobs, unless you book out for a holiday or something.

Saturday
Didn't get much sleep. Chill out before catching train and Tube home. Am starving and there's no food in the house so go to the Italian around the corner for a tuna salad. Leave house at 2pm to catch a flight to Berlin. I've always wanted to go Berlin for the art, culture and nightlife. What will I see in just a day, I wonder? Arrive at an eerie old-fashioned hotel I think is haunted.

Sunday
Wake up at 7am. Have breakfast and meet the team from Stern magazine. Drive an hour to a lake house. It's strange with amazing art. Wear loads of leather pieces by Givenchy, Martin Margiela and Marc Jacobs, and sky-high leather Versace boots. The reference is Catherine Deneuve being dark and powerful. Get nine shots done by 4pm. Exhausted, I fall asleep in the car on the way to the airport. Catch a flight to Barcelona. Get a plate of chicken and veg at hotel. My agent always sorts everything out for me. I've never been in a situation where I've been lost or freaked out.

Monday
Wake up with a cold. It was freezing yesterday in Germany and I wasn't wearing much. Drive to the studio (you go to a whole new country just to work in a studio). My hair and make-up is very rock 'n' roll - big hair, smoky eyes. I'm shooting a Mango catalogue. Katy, my agent, arrives. It's good to catch up. Afterwards do a shoot for Spanish Vogue with the same photographer, Enric Galcerán. I wear big coats, big jumpers and jeans. Both shoots have a great pace. I get a jacket, too. Fall asleep on the plane, missing my friends. Can't wait to see them tomorrow night.
