NEW BLOG PLATFORM

http://amodelstudent.tumblr.com
I have caved! Blogspot and I are no more :( 
I’m going to keep this old blog up for a while so you can still poke around at the old goods. Hopefully Tumblr will live up to all the hype and I will subsequently deliver greater content for all y’all.
Maybe I’ll use more phases such as “all y’all” too.
I love the way it looks and I think you all will too. XO

School's out!

Lagoon! Loved the pictures on my Geography prof's slides.

I had my last exam today and now I am officially on holiday! Good job, Jasmine! 

Tomorrow I will kick-off my holiday freedom with some reading by the fireplace, going to the gym, attending various Christmas parties, amping up the crafts and decorations, and buying presents like crazy! Life rocks at times like these.

In other exciting news, a fellow student and I were working on a grant proposal with a prof of ours and we just found out that it got approved! I won't tell you the details just yet but it means that I will be going somewhere very exciting and warm in February.

Tomorrow I'll be assisting the lovely Bronte Martin at an event she's covering for Off The Map blog, the Holiday Night Market at Meta(x)Rolly's on Ossington. It's going to be awesome so stop by between 7pm and midnight and say hello!

I want it all in winter

The Bag

I'm dreaming of this weekender bag and the L.L. Bean fisherman sweater in it. Yumyumyum.

Headboard

I love how feminine this is! My new craft goal is to find a beautifully shaped old wicker headboard and spray paint it a beautiful colour like this.

Christmas time is here

A classic.

Philo comes first

Phoebe Philo (whom I adore) has been named Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards! I'm thrilled. Phoebe is a genius and made minimalism cool again. 
I also love the name Phoebe. And I sometimes like to think that Holden Caulfield's little sister grew up, moved to London, and became Phoebe Philo... Who knows!

PJ's

I can wear pyjamas to class, work, and castings... yes?

Sparkly winter lovin'

Wishlist item

I want you. The perfume, not Anja Rubik. I do love her though. But not in that way.

Get your Wixson fixin'

Clever title, I know.
Anyway, Lindsay Wixson looks fantastic in the Versace fragrance commercial. That face is golden.

Pretty December

 

 

Caroline in Black

As simplistic as it is, black in the chilly weather is never a bad option. Neither is Caroline Trentini, in any weather.

Charity Advisor

Neilson with Angelina Jolie (whom you know I love)

There was a really interesting story in the New York Times today about a man named Trevor Neilson, a charity advisor to celebrities. Despite my skepticism about celebrities getting involved in serious matters and contempt for the foreign aid industry, it seems like a fascinating job. Read the article here.

Packing

Bardot-inspired? I'm there.

Words From The Wise: Snicket

‎"Stealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. But like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. Stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and you simply grab the painting and take it there. But if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it would be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your house, and eat it."

Education

This is the reason I want to be a teacher. To fuck shit up as carefully as possible.
<3

Constance

The song is incredibly annoying, but Constance and puppies are an unbeatable combination nevertheless.

Happy December 1st!

Dawwwwww - Why does this dog look cuter in my glasses than I do?

Speared!

I love Kendra Spears. One part Cindy Crawford and one part Alessandra Ambrosio - what's not to love?

Chung

I am not an Alexa Chung fan (yes, yes, I know), but this sweet little "travelogue thing" of her on style.com is absolutely enchanting. You'll love it!
