It's been a considerably long time since I compiled one of these weekly wishlists and I feel as though my taste has changed some what since the last one. These days I'm attracted to basic colour combinations; marl grey, khaki, sandstone, black, white and clean lines and simple shapes rather then fussy layered grunge attire. Here are a few things I'd do unspeakable things to have in my possession; That first outfit is basically Chloe inspired perfection. Quirky wedge boots & vintage style shoes & hats will always appeal to me, as will capes and cloaks and ear cuffs with chains. The mushroom print silk jacket is a thing of Alice In Wonderland joy. It would go so well with anything slightly distressed, torn or dark and the sheer quality to that floral dress really grabs me. I can just see it now with a heavy fur collared parka, socks and boots.
It's that time of week again when I taunt myself with clothes I cannot have *mopes* but here are my most lusted after items as of April 14th: Here's hoping someone takes pity on me & invites me for a job interview soon. If not you can find me most days in Topshop, crying. Kidding...maybe...
hello there! your blog is absolutely lovely, i adore the things you post! :] if i could just say one word of advice, it would be that the layout is a bit scattered and the font color is reallyyy bright hahaha <3 but seriously, it's wonderful.
Nope. It hasn't slipped my mind what day it is. I'm a creature of routine at times and definitely with my blog, whilst also posting random things I also like to keep to a schedule of daily posts. That's nice right? Here are a couple of items that I'm lusting for at the moment. I think the reasons are obvious. Like/hate anything? What are you lusting after? I bet all your christmas lists are getting full. The Potter boxset has me inspired to post a dedication video I found via youtube last night of the wonderous Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. What did you think of the film?
I also love this music video dedicated to him. Oh Draco. He's such a sillyboy. Yes I am a huge Potter nerd. Actually I'm just a huge nerd. Love it or leave it.
Greatest apologies for forgetting to post yesterday. Here's the wishlist I would have posted had I remembered: I think it'd be pretty safe to say that I want some wedge boots like certain celebs need to wear knickers. PRETTY DAMN BADLY. (From left to right: Atacoma wedges by Acne, Tick wedges by Jeffrey Campbell, Mini Market wedge boots, Finsk fur & wood wedges & Balenciaga Zoe Harness Boots). The final ones would be the ultimate goal but most unlikely of the lot to ever belong to me even in Sam Edelman form. BOO HOO.
And now as scheduled some much needed fashion inspiration for winter, dragged straight out of my winter wear folder. First from Iro France, a label discovered through www.knightcat.com Simple, stylish and warm. Not generally terms you hear when describing fashion these days. I think it's the knit leggings/ "treggings" (I hate that word) which make it for me. The leopard print belt is such a perfect addition. Mhmm knit onesies. I was watching Friends this morning and Phoebe was wearing the most amazing striped one sort of like Johnny Depp's in the beach scene in 'Sweeney Todd' and oh did I drool. Ha. Old model favourite Valentina Zelyeava in ELLE US September 2009. Florals & heavy wool coats=winning combination. As for the powder blue matching gloves & scarf? Love it so much. Finally one of my favourite recent Vogue editorials from their reborn 'More Dash Than Cash' series. Suvi Koponen models some androgynous but quintesentially English fashion. The manly boots, the paperbag belted trousers, the paint splattered t-shirt, the white hooded anorak under with the grey tweed blazer, the trench and shirt dress. I love everything. Even the model's two toned hair.
Bandage leggings. Black jersey maxidress. Mesh insert leggings. Leather panel leggings. THE Balenciaga Harness boots (I wouldn't say no to the Sam Edelman knockoffs either). Striped jersey maxiskirt. Zip jersey track pants. Galactic print cardigan (I love anything that references spacee). Folk pattern leggings. Balenciaga platforms. Pastel print jacket. Disney Couture gola leaf bangle. Statement house ring. Sowat angel dust ring (I totally love these.)
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.
