It Girl: Jemima Kirke

Fashion | 24 April 2013

by

You may know Jemima Kirke from HBO’s hit show Girls, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for this It Girl! Not only does she rock it as an artist and an actress, but we love Kirke for her uber cool and carefree fashion sense.Boho Beauty: With her long locks full of beachy waves, and an apparent love for crushed velvet and printed silks, Jemima Kirke is a true Boho beauty! With a look that’s often ethereal, but with a touch of rock and roll, she would surely fit in at your favorite festival.

About Face: Kirke tends to rock a more natural look by sporting a perfectly stained pout while going easy on the eye makeup.

Artistic Vision: Jemima Kirke fell into acting by accident and considers herself an artist first and actress second, her main squeeze being oil and watercolor portraits. In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Kirke says that her particular style of painting “keeps the reaction immediate and free. Working this way allows me not to be exacting or to second guess myself.”

Character Counts: The character “Jessa” on Girls is based on Kirke herself, and she openly admits to her time spent as a wild child. At age 27, Kirke is now married and a mother of two, with successful careers as both an artist and actress.

 

Fiercely Feminine: Meet Artist Zso

Art | 27 December 2012

If living in New York and working as a designer/artist has ever been your dream, then meet the woman who’s living the dream; Sara Blake, otherwise known as the artist Zso. With a fierce sense of femininity, and line-work that’s off the flipping charts, Zso’s content ranges from abstract color fields broken by lightning bolts of line, to inky portraiture, and typography slicker than a ’70s hairdo.

Girl Crush: The Cast of HBO's Girls

General | 16 May 2012

I dont have cable. Even though I love watching TV, I mostly get to watch it later through Netflix or Hulu Plus. About a month ago, I acquired my friend’s HBO Go login. So I had heard no hype about the new HBO show Girls (was there even any at all? I’m seriously unaware). Thank goodness my curiosity took the better of me, because I found some major new girl crushes. 
 
The show follows Hannah (played by Lena Dunham who also wrote and directed the show) and her three friends; the free-spirited Jessa (Jemmia Kirke), the semi-uptight, seemingly perfect Marnie (Allison Williams), and hilariously innocent Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet). What I like most about the show is that it seems real to me, and I can connect all the characters to my life situations, or even people I know.
For me, I have two clear favorites (Shoshanna and Jessa!) but really, every girl is totally crush worthy. Hannah’s quirky humor paired with Marnie’s sensable ways makes them the perfect best friend duo.
