An Introduction to Jennine

Hi there, I’m Jennine and I’m a reformed shopaholic. Sort of. Prior to my blog The Coveted two years ago, I had a massive shopping addiction, like we’re talking every lunch break I’d be at the shops…

Now a days I’ve managed to curb my shopping, instead I daydream about fashion and think of ways to work with the most essential parts of a wardrobe, getting the most out of each piece. Often times I’ll mix in vintage and DIY (do it yourself)  in with contemporary pieces to really create that unique look.

Essential for this summer…

Statement Tanks

Who says tank tops need to be simple? The summer of 2009 is all about relaxed rocker chic. You’ll see deconstructed tee shirts, jeans, cotton jersey everywhere. Personally, I’m loving statement tanks. Here on Manhattanite, designer Astars, a division of motorsport company, Alpinestars. They create high quality tee shirts and tanks with a motorcycle vibe. Perfect for wearing with messy, wind tossed hair, jeans and super strappy sandals.

Astars Garage Slouchy Tank, $62.00

Astars Elisa Drape Tunic in Black $82.00

Astars Pit Slouchy Tank in Algiers Blue $62.00

An Introduction to Ashe Mischief

Hello, my cher! A big welcome all around–to you, and to me, and to one of my new blogging homes here at Manhattanite!

Introducing myself always feels kind of awkward– I’m never quite sure what to say. I write Dramatis Personae, a fashion & style blog focusing on our mischievous personae. I believe that we all are multi-faceted & complex creatures, and our styles and lifestyles reflect that. I treat my own life & fashion stylings as a theatrical production– there are times when I’m backstage, quiet, calm, and working to produce something. Then there are days when I am on stage, a glittery, made-up mythological creature of a girl.  It’s important to me to indulge and fulfill both sides of that woman, to create a better and more fulfilled self.

What I love about working with the Manhattanite blog and store is the way the the site incorporates all aspects of a woman’s life. From our pets or kids, down to our fingers & toes, I love to celebrate ways to love ourselves. On a personal level, from brands like Betsey Johnson, to Tolani, to Oh Deer! I feel like the products really cover my many aspects & personae.

I’m elated to join the wonderful group of bloggers that you’re going to see here, and hope that you all enjoy reading the Shop Manhattanite blog as much as I know I’ll enjoy writing for it!

xoxo,
Ashe
