I have a few obsessions in my life. One is music, but i often dont have very much to say about it. Another is various celebrities, both alive and dead. I really enjoy finding out about their lives and collecting many many pictures of them on my computer in little folders. I think all of my friends are sick to death of me talking about them all the time, so i shall use this blog to channel my thoughts and ideas about them.
At this moment in time i really enjoy looking at Edie Sedgwick's life. Ive been into her for well over a year now. I think i like the self destructiveness of the human condition. In my teens i was obssessed with Kurt Cobains life for example. Edie definitely self destructed, perhaps with the help of Andy Warhol but thats irrelevant.
Edie lived from April 20 1943 - November 16 1971 and she was only 28 when she died from an accidental overdose. She was a part of Warhols factory in the 60's and got to hang out with a whole bunch of cool people. I wont go into all of the grim details of her life right now. I just love looking at photographs of her, she has such energy and charisma it is wonderful to see even after all these years. Her style is amazing, long earrings, wearing tshirts as dresses and black opaque tights. iconic. This video is a lovely tribute to her and makes me fall in love with her a little.
She also has a really nice voice, i like hearing her speak. But anyway enough of my Edie love for now. i will post more when i am at home, where i have lots of photos.
Another current interest to me is the style of Alexa Chung. I know shes a tv presenter, and a current London hipster party girl and that she goes out with Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys but thats as far as my interest in her life goes. I just purely just like looking at her style. I love how she can wear designer pieces but make them so..... wearable! she is effortless beauty. this is my most recent favourite outfits from her.
This dress is gorgeous. I read on FashionSpot that is was custom fitted Chanel. I LOVE Chanel so i am both jealous and in awe of this dress and Alexa for getting it custom fitted. Her hair here looks gorgeous, she has kept the accessories simple and like i said before, she makes this designer dress look effortless.
This was at the brit awards recently, she is wearing a vintage dress she has cut herself to make the hemline shorter, more to her style. it looks like she has Chanel bag here as well. Now im a sucker for anything blue and anything shiny, sparkly or glittery so this dress is such a win for me. Alot of people on fashionspot and other sites have been criticising the fact her shoes are all scuffed or muddy but i like it. I love those shoes, they are fabulous. she has worn them many times, which is also why i like her style, she wears things more than once!
well thats enough blogging for one day.i need some dinner. till next time. L x
