Name: Jen
Location: New Jersey
Age: 29
I've lived in Jersey my entire life. To some, it's dirty. To me, it's got character. I live about 30 mins outside NYC, which is considered a fashion mecca. There's a gaggle of great bloggers from the Empire State, but I have yet to find anyone who has put NJ on the fashion blogger map. <Insert Life Goal #15>.
I live with my British hubby and my feisty Chihuahua, Harley, which you may see from time to time in my photos. Writing is a huge passion of mine, and I've been lucky enough to have my work published in Alternative Press, The Aquarian Weekly, AMP, Chord, Outburn and Substream Music Press, to name a few. I aspired to be a full-time music journalist, but alas, Rolling Stone never called... so I had to turn to Plan B. Tha†'s where fashion came in. Luckily, I landed a job at Barneys New York as a copywriter... and yes, the job is sweet!
I've always been one who was really into fashion. Not so much a designer label whore (I own maybe 5 major designer items). More about coming up with looks and a personal style. Plus, I think you can be a bargain shopper and look just as chic as women in designer duds.
Music is another huge part of my life and has really helped mold me into who I am, and what I wear....
So Writing+Music+Fashion = Me
Here's where the photo aspect of the blog comes into play - my most current look.
This dress had two purposes: Chictopia, and a contest I saw on Refinery29.com.
When this dress arrived, I was overjoyed. Purple is my favorite color, followed by black. Being that the weather is getting colder, I figured the three-quarter sleeves will keep me toasty, and I can probably pair it with a pair of thin tights. The shoes are purely for looks - they aren't comfortable, but they were a steal and yes, I will suffer for fashion. Forever21 is my friend... more of a weakness, really.
