Some Style with That

I was perusing my blog roll (as i do very often) and came across Darling Dee Dee's post on Kim Kardashian as a modern-day style icon. it got me thinking--who is my modern day icon/muse?

I mean, i have fashion icons from before my time (like Judy Garland--read this), and there are a lot of women in the movie/fashion/music industry right now who know a thing or two about style. it was hard for me to narrow my list of an ultimate style icon, so i decided to break it down:

my style muse: glamour
Paula Patton

her skin is to die for.

she even looks great pregnant

my glamour style
dress: wetseal (~$20)
tights: target (~$5)
shoes: don't remember


my style muse: cutting edge
Rihanna

her style is interesting that it's not unusual to find her on both the best and worst dressed lists.
and if she doesn't do it, who will?

my cutting edge style
headband: juicy couture at sephora (~$10)
necklace: charlotte russe (~$8)
dress: abbey dawn for kohl's (~$30)
tights: primark (~
£4)
shoes: vera wang for kohl's (~$45)
jacket: forever 21 (~$35)

my style muse: dress her up or dress her down
Zoe Saldana

i love how she effortlessly pulls off both elegant and laid back.

dress me up or dress me down:
blazer: h&m (~£20)
belt: wetseal
leggings: forever 21 (~$10)
top: don't remember
shoes: don't remember


and there were so many good shots of these ladies to choose from...it was tough.

  16. Ahh you look so adorable in all of these pictures, and you look so cute with your hair in a sideways ponytail. :)

    I love your LBD. <3 OH and your black and white checkered top. Were your heels inspired by ballet shoes?

    Rihanna's my favorite out of your 3 fashion muses, she's gorgeous! I love that red skirt she's wearing, though her feathery dress is a bit much. xD I'm more mellow when it comes to fashion, I like simple and cute things to wear. :3

  17. Very nice, I love your muse 'interpretations'.

    I think my last style muse was Cyndi Lauper back when 'Girls Just wanna Have Fun' came out! A looong time ago! Madonna also with her raggedy boho street style. We are talking '83 and I was 13 then!

    I occasionally 'channel' a look made famous by a celebrity... eg. Bianca Jagger circa Studio 54 but don't look to acting celebrities as style muses.
    I find it bemusing that we want to emulate actors when they make a living pretending to be other people!!!!

  22. I'm starting to adore Zoe Saldana. Not only is she super talented and gorgeous, but she's confident and strong. If I had to pick one person at the moment who inspires me, I'd pick her as well.

    p.s. Thanks for stopping by Pink Rock Candy!
