Amsterdam -photo diary

Just got back from Amsterdam! It is such an amazing city. One of the coolest city's i've ever been too... and thats not just because smoking Mary Jane is legal! Have a look at some of my photos from my new favourite city (Other than London). Dutch culture is just amazing, walking around and even cycling is so interesting. Thats right everyone i cycled! Living in London i get transport everywhere. But in Amsterdam everyone cycles. I'm thinking of buying a bike! Thank you Amsterdam for inspiring me!

Inspiration - From fashion line 'The Row'

Girl of the moment.... Dree Hemingway

Dree Louise Hemingway Crisman is one of the newest it fashion models to hit the runway and just so happens to be daughter of Mariel Hemingway and Stephen Crisman, and the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway.

Dree's work includes ad campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Valentino and DKNY. She also walked the runway for Givenchy in the Fall/Winter 2009 Ready to Wear Show.

Obsession du jour - Model Chanel Iman

The name says it all... she was clearly born to be a model. I'm loving her look on and off the runway. Born in Atlanta, Georgia but brought up in Los Angeles, California. Her mother is Korean and African-American, and her father is African-American which adds to her unusual look. She truly is an inspiration to girls especially because of her interest to explore more facets of the fashion industry and discussing the lack of diversity in the field.

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!

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. London in my opinion is the focal point for fashion, it has the most interesting people I have ever met and I love that we have such a mix of cultures here. 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"

- Quote taken from British Vogue, said by Mario Testino.
