ABOUT ME




Hi, I'm Jennifer! I'm 17, from California, and have just graduated from high school. I am so excited and grateful to have the opportunity to study Fashion Design at Parsons The New School for Design this fall! My dream would be having the privilege to show my work at New York Fashion Week one day.

I love the character of Sherlock Holmes because he gladly embraces his eccentricities and people similarly admire him for them, hence the title of this blog being called Art In Our Blood, which comes from a quote in The Greek Interpreter: "Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms." I like to think that everyone has a little art in their blood, and it doesn't necessarily need to manifest itself onto a canvas---fashion is another way we can outwardly express ourselves.

Regarding my photos, most of the time my younger sister helps take them for me but on occasion, I will use a tripod and wireless remote. I photograph with the Nikon D3000 and the 50mm f1.8 lens. For more on how I take my outfit photos, read my tutorial here.

I love getting any mail, wether it be a simple hello or a question, you can always contact me at hennafur@gmail.com! x

    1. I'm really happy with it; although, it would have been smarter of me to have gotten the slightly more expensive camera body that can record video and also has live view. But for outfit photos, it's sufficient! :) Thank you by the way!

    1. Hi! Thank you!! When I shop in person, I get a lot of stuff from H&M! But I do most of my shopping online, and I have a lot of clothes from Romwe, Motel Rocks, Awwdore, and eBay! A good portion of my closet also consists of vintage clothing from my parents' closets or from thrift shops! Hope this helps :)

    1. Thank you so much Leka!!! I hope so too :)

      And oh, I find that when I have a neutral expression on my face in my photos, I end up with more "useable" shots that I like verses when I smile and half of them I don't like as much xD Thank you though!
