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!
