Just lately I seem to have been reading lots about Hipsters.
But what exactly IS a hipster? Am I one? Are you?
Well on surfing up a bit on the subject ( you will thank me for this in a bit, just keep reading okay? … thanks ) it seems they’re are really two types of a spectrum of Hipsterness …
Firstly the rather serious, big bespectacled , slogan t shirt wearing ones. Slightly nonchalant types who don’t *do* the establishment, read Norman Mailer poetry and watch obscure foreign films. Kind of the modern day answer to the hippie, punks or grunge kids, they also love all things Apple and hate google, unless its chrome. Oh and the very first REAL rule of being a true Hipster is never admitting to being one, unless your being ironic of course … its a bit like fight club 
…
Aaaand secondly, the other type of Hipster. Far more interesting (to me anyway) this one is more mainstream, and maybe a little less angry , the girl Hipster. These are artistic types who love vintage clothes and make up, and look kind of like they got dressed in the dark .. but in a good way. You may see them riding around, slightly wobbly like, on vintage candy coloured bikes, and they may also be a teeny bit scared of a hair brush. Still Not Convinced?
Okay, here are my favorite Hipster Girls -
Alexa Chung, Georgia May Jagger, Agyness Deyn and the Queen of all Hipster Girl-dom, Zooey Deschanel -
So there you have it, a right royal, girl crush- a – thon, don’t say I never treat you I think im in love, and what’s more I truly think this is finally a look I can actually pull off. I’m totally artsy ( big J says weird) I often get dressed in the dark ( it still IS at six thirty am when Milsta wakes up) I am short sighted enough to need big glassses, I love vintage dresses and own at least 20 cardigans. I also hate going to the hairdressers and I don’t drive… It just couldnt be more Perfect!

oooh Helen, you truly are. I am sure I saw that last girl in a film last night. 500 days of Summer ? is that her. I know, pardon me if I just committed some terrible un-hip sin but I did just start on the HRT today ! My days of hip are long gone xxx
No lovely k, you are perfectly right, a totally fab hipster film it is too
along with Juno and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I LOVE Zooey Deschanel!! Are you watching New Girl on Channel 4, Friday?? It’s so good. I need her to be my kooky best friend! Love your Girl Crush diaries! xxx
oh me too! and New Girl is fab isnt it? so happy its on over here now, our american friends were talking about it for ages! making me jealous
i love that show, cant never get enough of the fab zooey!!!
As ever I am loving your girl crush! And after watching New Girl I am seriously considering getting a fringe and ditching my contact lenses. I want to be Zooey! Or at least be her very bestest friend! Ha!
hehe, can i tell you a secret? i actually cut my own fringe after seeing a particularly swoon-some Zooey hair pic a couple of months ago… lets just say, it didn’t work out
that fringe needs a whole hour in the morning to itself! You have to be a movie star..or maybe you just need a actual hairdresser to do it !

I am in love with Zooey! New Girl is fab & even H wants to watch it with me (she’s 9!) I’m also looking for some geek chic glasses, just not sure I can pull them off!
Love this post! Mwah!

Haah! Brilliant post and so many mutual girl crushes. I’d love, love, love to be a cool Hipster girl (probably Hipster number 2) but I just don’t think I could pull it off. A young Joan Collins, maybe. At a push. Alexa Chung, not on my nelly. See a Hipster girl would never say that. Come to think of it neither would Joan. Back to the drawing board…
lol! you make me laugh! i love a bit of Joan too
xxx
I love Zooey and I really want her hair!!!!! Give me her hair!!!!!! Xx
Just loved this! You have a new convert for your fabulous blod, and you’ve inspired to start my own I think. I need a vet now I’m not a full time journo anymore… And as for the girl crush, Lana, Zooey, Kate Moss, Rachel McAdams – I could go on x
oh yay! thanku so much jules
