Lindsay Lohan 'Muse Magazine' Pictures





EXCLUSIVE- Lindsay Lohan for Muse magazine

When i saw these pictures from Italian fashion magazine
'Muse' of Lindsay Lohan i was in shock. This is not the hot mess we normally see plastered over the covers of Ok, US weekly and Heat! This was a woman who was looking dare i say sexy. The concept behind the photos are the turbulent romance between Kate Moss and johnny Depp in the mid 90's. The photos feature Lohan and 2 other people - a man and a woman in a hotel room smoking,
kissing, generally walking around in their underwear, There is even a picture of Lohans behind! On top of all this there is a video to go along with the article (which is even more steamy than the photos might i add). Hope you enjoy the photos... if you don't avert your eyes!
The link to see the video is http://magmuse.com/
rest of the images are above.

Fashion Inspiration- Kate Moss circa 1990'S






Recently i've been really loving that fashion has been inspired by different era's and trends from these era's. Right now i'm really inspired by the 90's (yes i said it -the 90's). People think of the 90's as one of the worst times for fashion, however there were elements which i love. I'm talking a young kate moss when she had a turbulent romance with Johnny Depp, when she dressed in grunge, and had started a little trend in fashion called 'Heroin Chic'. This became huge in the mid 1990's. Many of my friends are in denial about dressing in 90's fashions. I think people are afraid to admit it, like it's some sort of taboo. Well i am saying dress in 90's fashions. Don't be afraid, Don't hide it anymore!

New Music



Kid Sister

Melisa Young who is better known by her stage name Kid Sister, is a rap artist based in Chicago. Her most well known song is 'Pro Nails' featuring Kanye West. Her style of music is hip hop fused with electronica, she has sort of created this genre of music thats all her own. Her album - Ultraviolet which has just been released is doing well in America, she is trying to generate publicity here in the UK. Her sound is completely individual and one of a kind and i believe she will fit in very well with the growing dubstep music scene over here!

Tracks to look out for
Pro Nails feat Kanye west

Girl of the moment.... Rihanna






She's gone from 'Good girl to bad' and now she's 'Rated R'. Rihanna really has made a huge fashion transition from sweet and sexy to high fashion and hip! She seems to favor the colour black and has a kind of gothic urban look going on, while not everyone may not like her new look... everyone is talking about it.

Obsession du jour



My obsession of the day are Body suits, these sexy little numbers are everywhere! I've noticed these in shops from the classic American apparel right to the luxurious Argent Provocateur. Body suits are supposed to be worn as underwear however I see these appearing on women more and more. These could be worn with high wasted skirts, jeans or with skin tight wet look leggings as Cheryl Cole did in her video 'Fight for this love'. Either way these body suits are here to stay so I suggest you get yours quick!

Style Muse- Matilda Curtis



This is my new style muse.
Her style is eclectic, she mixes peices she has found in charity shops, and vintage stores with topshop and other high street stores. Matilda loves and always wears very interesting jewlery, she recently took a trip to india where she found some beautiful peices! She uses her mother (actress Elizabeth McGovern) as her style inspiration as well as celebrities such as Keira Knightly. She aspires to be a Director/ producer- However i believe she has missed her calling as a model!

My album of the week.... Kid Cudi- Man on the Moon

Tracks to listen to-
Up up and away
Sky might fall
Day and night.

Kid Cudi is an american rapper and singer who is blowing up here in the UK. He played at high profile gigs such as Wireless in hyde park earlier in the summer. Although this is not his first ablum, 'Man on the Moon' was relased to rave reviews. Its genre is rap, alternitive hip hop, alternitive rock, space rock, and trip-hop. With all these different gernres on one album you really are in for an unbelievable listening experence. Supposidly when Kid Cudi and his producer Kanye West were working on this album they played Si-Fi films in the background silently so they could gain inspiration. I would definatly give this a listen and look out for more of his work soon- Cudi is also soon to be staring in "How to Make it in America" produced by Mark Wahlberg.



Up and coming...













Alert people! This guy is one to watch, Based in London - Curtly Thomas is my new favorite photographer. Probably because I'm his new muse. However he is seriously talented.

Welcome


Welcome everyone, This is my first blog entry. I'm Jessica, I've lived in London for 17 years now and have become fascinated with fashion, art and music.

All these different people influence my style. This blog will feature my idea of style icons and style muses, The hottest music, amazing art and photography and exclusive videos.


"In London you get more style than anywhere else in the world. Any other city you go to- Paris, Milan even New York - everyone wants to fit in. Here it's always been about being individual"
