A woman you should know...

Fashion icon: Jessa Johansson.

Me and my two best girls from my student hall (lets code name them Black Velvet and the Rage- explanations to come), have been obsessed with the tv show Girls ever since we all fell into a state of melancholy due to boy troubles and curled up in Black Velvet’s bed with green tea, almonds, chocolate and a lap top late one night. This developed into a sort of habit, nay, tradition for much of the first semester. We went at it slowly, an episode or two a week, quite at random. Perhaps we’d settle into it at 1:30 after a night on the town or on lazy sundays when there was nothing to do.

Thus began my love affair with Jessa Johansson (played by Jemima Kirk)- the eratic, exotic, at first annoying then suddenly encapsulating character from Britain who comes to live in New York with her cutesy cousin Shoshanna.

Jessa is indeed an adventurous woman. She has style (which is what I love most about her- the things she wears) and says the darnedest things. Jessa is cynical and bitter but cares for her loved ones despite everybody’s flaws in the show.

Jessa has droopy eyes and the best lips for lip stick. She does what she pleases and is a little lost, a little angry, a little sexually adventurous and a little over opinionated but who doesn’t love a sassy controversial character?! Every work of art needs one and I don’t doubt Girls is a work of art when compared to other shows.

Her hair is SO long I would like to have it VERY much.
Her boho-chic style is seductive as hell.
