Mischa Barton in London

Mischa Barton is now in London, and looking sleek as you can see in the below photos. Mischa also gave a sleek interview recently in Australia to The Daily Telegraph, and I wanted to share some of it.

Mischa says that her new handbag line is like a segue into doing her own fashion line, which she’s always being asked to do. She didn’t want to aim too high.

“I like a vintagey look, but I also did a wide range of things because not everybody has my taste, obviously.”

Mischa talks about her new place in Paris, which she finds laid-back and creative, a place to relax, to wake up and "buy a loaf of bread and a coffee." It is also different, with the paparazzi. In LA, the paparazzi sit outside your house, and approach it in an "uncool" way. Stars are not photographed as style icons, but instead the paparazzi are looking for dirt. It’s trashy. Mischa says the paparazzi in France don’t get in your face.

Mischa does talk again about her DUI, but with a lot more perspective. She knows it wasn’t her finest moment, and that she was irresponsible, but it was a hard time, particularly being compared to other actresses getting DUIs. She shudders at her thought of the time she was in jail, and says she learnt her lesson and has no plans to drive. Mischa says the whole issue, after being resolved in court, "is done and dusted" and now she has grown from it and can move on.

Mischa also says she’s learning to play the guitar, thanks to her boyfriend Taylor Locke. You can read more of the interview here.

Photographs: Mischa Barton and her boyfriend Taylor Locke are shown arriving back at their hotel, The Sanderson Hotel, at 9pm on May 22nd. The dress Mischa’s wearing has a very cute peacock feather pring. She went inside to change and was later spotted going to the Met bar. Two more after the jump…
