CHLOE SEVIGNY

Today we're gonna drool over style icon extraordinaire, indie silver screen queen and fashion designer Chloe Sevigny. I first saw Chloe's debut film Kids only a few years ago which is surprising as it's so up my alley. It's very hard hitting, gripping and at times crued but poignant I think and Chloe's performance is beautiful for someone so young. Also you may not have noticed her in 'American Psycho' but she played Bateman's naive office assistant. She also stars in 'Zodiac' with Jake Gyllenhaal. I need to see her other films like controversial 'Brown Bunny' and of course her award nominated role in 'Boy's Don't Cry'. I'm really looking forward to seeing 'Lying' as you all know so hopefully that will help add to my Sevigny love. She's been making big statments in the style stakes in the last few years and I adore everything she does. Here are a few of my faveourites:

Chloe is one of three adorable famous faces for fashion design house 'Chloe', namely their self named perfume which is yummy and comes in the most adorable square vintage looking bottle. In these shots Chloe is wearing the Chloe scalloped edge blazer and matching shorts from their Spring/Summer 2009 collection. I love how she can make one jacket work in so many ways be in designer head to toe with a squashed floral boater or with silk pyjama looking shorts or right on trend grungey cut offs. LOVE HER!

These few outfits are so freaking perfect in my mind; granny cardigans, rayband, knee high socks, ankle boots I just picked up some vintage ones like this in brown), crisp shirts and the classic trench coat. Chloe has recently extended her fashion skills to developing a self-influenced clothing line for NY label 'Opening Ceremony'. Although influenced by Chloe's own style the line loved by the fashion community introduced a lot of underground fashion trends to the mainstream like creepers, brogues, paper-bag trousers, folksy knits, androgynous dressing and of course those infamous buckle wedge boots that we all lust after and some lucky bitches have.

One of the Same

You can't do a post on just one Olsen. It feels wrong. Here's the other. I love her so.

This is only a quarter of my collection of Mary-Kate photos and none of the new ones. Oh dear. I love her too much perhaps haha. I loved her best in late 2005 when she wore the layered knits and rolled up leggings with cowboy boots and those dirty mint green converses. Perfection. She is also to blame for my obsession with those Balenciaga harness boots that I can't buy. Oh sad sad world.

Ashley Olsen

It must be said that I think the Olsens are pretty much a firm part of most people's fashion education. You either love them or hate them. I have always loved them. I started out loving Ashley as I was more preppy in my early teenage years. While I've hung onto my love of blazers and oxford shirts as I've gotten older I've swayed to more of a grunge style like Mary-Kate. I know they're a little cliche and perhaps try-hard these days in the fashion world but I don't think you can fault them style wise.

I love Ashley in this photoshoot for Marie Claire.

Some favourite Ashley outfits from over the years:

LOVE.

My name is Jasmin but I've always liked boys with girls' names and names that end in -ie.
I'm an insomniac. I like to stay up late to watch the sky change from blue to black to beige and blue again. I'm a critically indecisive realist whose in love with the little things. I enjoy writing lists and schedules but never stick to them. I want to learn to do a million things like speak Swedish, play guitar, skateboard, hula hoop and play poker. My mind is always turning over a million things but I am a simple girl and I never ask for much. I'm a typical nerd and I'm excited by fashion, photography, books, ideas and theories. I could pour through books and magazines until my eyes dribbled down my face in a torrent of glitter and sequins. It's true. I like to paint what I write, write what I think and photograph what I see.
