An Introduction

2012-01-28T22:57:00.002Z

I'm Jenna. A couple of weeks (months?) ago Vincent said he'd have someone co-posting on here and that person is me! I thought I'd start with a photo of me and some pictures I love. Just so you know who I am I suppose.

(I've also made photo diary as a nudge for myself to take more photos)

I've been signed! Its pretty much a commercial modelling/talent based agency that thought I had an edgy look (lol). I have a Nokia casting this weekend so wish me luck!

How amazing is Wood Wood f/w 2012?!!
Literally drooling over that peacoat, those beanies and uh everything basically.

I also got an email this morning from a model and talent agency wanting to interview me tomorrow, I've had butterflies in my stomach pretty much all day but I've figured if all goes well I'm going to celebrate with drinks, and if not, then I'll be drinking anyway!

My Wardrobe: The Staples

2011-11-23T10:17:00.002Z

(I currently have 3 leather jackets, one's in the midst of selling- which you can buy here, one literally came today and the other I've borrowed from my sister ha.

I've been continuously clearing out my wardrobe for about a year now, selling anything that either doesn't fit me right or that I simply just don't wear anymore. I've bared down to quite a decent amount of essentials but there are a few things left on my "Staples" list;

White Shirt (I'm thinking of buying one from Equipment)

The Perfect Tee, in white/black/grey

Pea Coat

~~Black Jeans~~

Faded Black Jeans

~~Grey Jeans~~

~~The Flannel Shirt~~

~~The Perfect Leather Jacket~~

~~The Winter Hat~~ (Recently picked up the perfect beanie from American Apparel)

~~The Boots~~ (Although I'd say the Tommy Hilfigers are perfect, I'd ideally like to find a similar pair in black)

All in all not too bad! What are your wardrobe staples?

LN-CC A/W 11 Lookbook

2011-11-22T11:24:00.004Z

Came across LN-CC earlier today after a bit of a svpply rampage. LN-CC is an independent boutique based in London. They offer a wide range of luxury labels such as Jil Sander, Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten and Rick Owens. Found a couple of gems on there, specifically the Sunsea wool and cow leather jacket (2nd picture, on the left), now if only I had a £821 lying around.. boo.

I recommend visiting their site though, they stock womens as well as mens, and even have a couple of interesting features around!

Shoe Lust

Miranda Kerr wearing Isabel Marant Hi-Tops

Seriously, how does Isabel do it? Seeing these have only boosted my need for some hi-tops, and I'm really not the hi-top/trainer kind of guy.. I rarely leave the house in anything but my tommy hilfiger boots. However there's something about these suede chunky shoes, I mean even Anne bloody Hathaway's wearing them!

I can hardly afford the Isabel Marant hi-tops I want, so I've opted for these; Fleece-lined Hi-top Vans in dark gum, hopefully they should be coming this week!

Wearing

2011-11-21T11:03:00.004Z

Finally found the perfect pair of gray jeans the other day, and from Topman! Who'd have thunk it..

I still need to find a similar pair just in a faded black colour and then I'm set.

wearing: topman "vintage skinny" jeans, h&m tee, tommy hilfiger darryl boots

Scott Schuman is a douchebag

2011-10-04T19:06:00.006+01:00

I really can't remember where I found this link to an interview with Scott Schuman.. (it may have been tumblr?) but wow, who knew he was such an arrogant pompous douchebag?!

In the interview he is asked what his thoughts are on Tavi Gavinson and her blog's success, to which he replies; "Well I don’t think her audience is that big. I think her success is a little bit of a conspiracy by established print media that wanted to show that this blog thing is not that important, that it’s done by a bunch of twelve year olds." (.. right.)

He also mentions that her blog is pretty much pointless for older generations considering she's never had a boyfriend or that kind of stuff. Yeah, because writing about fashion as a woman can only be valid as long as you've had a man in your life. Kinda hypocritical there considering his ex-wife funded his entire "streetstyle photographer" career..

In other news, I had my interview at Bunmi Koko and I'm officially an intern! I really can't wait to start.

Hello Winter

2011-09-20T14:01:00.004+01:00

Spent the day cheering myself up over this dreadful english essay with my cos jumper and tomato with wild basil soup. I forgot how amazing it is to be able to wear jumpers and coats! (..and everything else that's unacceptable for the summer in my wardrobe, which is everything ugh).

Also been compiling lists and lists of beautiful clothes/things even though they serve as a daily reminder that I can not afford anything right now, seriously svpply may be amazing but its also pretty depressing.

P.S Would anyone be interested if I opened like a little etsy store?

Hello
