The Past…
 |
| Princess Grace of Monaco had the most lovely gowns. When I get dressed up, I want to look like Grace Kelly. We share a name so I only see it fitting. Whenever I'd go to pick out prom dresses or homecoming dresses, my mom would always say to me, "Is it something Grace Kelly would wear?" as the judge for whether or not it was appropriate. From Grace, I learned to dress lady-like and with grace. |
 |
| Not only did Jane Birkin have the most famous bag in history named after her, she also had the best bangs ever. Someday, I would love to have Jane Birkin bangs, but I haven't been brave enough to do it yet. |
 |
| Audrey Hepburn in my opinion, was and is the most elegant woman ever and I think that says it all. I've loved Audrey ever since I was a little girl. When I was young, I had these brown Wayfarer-type sunglasses that I got at Old Navy. I would wear them around and call them my "Audrey glasses" because they looked like the glasses Holly Golightly wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. |
 |
| No Kurt Cobain was't a woman, but he still inspired my own style because who doesn't a good flannel shirt and leftover teenage angst. Plus I call my haircut the "Kurt Cobain". |
 |
In her book It, Alexa Chung wrote, "What can I say? Edie Bloody Sedgwick. How much
make-up can one person pile on their face? How many drugs can one girl do? A lot is the
answer". While Edie Sedgwick would a poor role model for me as a young woman to have,
she still has inspired my personal style. Especially my favorite thing to wear ever- horizontal
stripes. Edie mastered cropped hair and horizontal striped shirts, and without striped shirts, I'd
be very sad.

The Present...
 |
| Alexa freaking Chung. What more can I say? I love absolutely every single outfit this woman wears. Alexa cannot disappoint. She's head-to-toe fashion perfection. I have a long, red plaid, funnel-necked coat that I call my "Alexa coat" when I wear it. I'd probably kill someone to have her closet and signature winged eyeliner. Eh well I wouldn't kill someone because murder seems messy and its wrong... |
 |
| If I had make-up abilities, I'd do my make-up like Zooey Deschanel everyday. But I have no cosmetic abilities and I'm just too lazy. Her outfits are adorable, quirky and tasteful and I covet her closet. I maybe even lust after her wardrobe. Out of all those annoying commercials for cotton, you know the ones that made "The touch, the feel of cotton. The fabric of our lives." get stuck in your head, I enjoyed Zooey Deschanel's the most because her cotton-filled wardrobe is perfection. |
 |
| Taissa Farmiga, as the Character Violet Harmon on the T.V. show Murder House had the most perfect T.V. wardrobe ever. It was dark, bad-ass, pissy and lovely. I wanted it all. I went on the search for the perfect "Violet Harmon" dress: black with a muted and depressing floral print. When two of my friends forced me to buy this 90s dress from Pacsun, it became my perfect Violet Harmon dress. Now I can lie on my floor and listen to Nirvana and The Smiths feeling at one with Violet Harmon. |
The Gothic...
 |
| I'd always wanted to be Morticia Addams for Halloween as a kid, but my mom wasn't such a big fan of that costume idea. She said it was creepy, but I like creepy. Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams was my favorite Morticia Addams because she was in the 1960s series of The Addams Family, and I j'adore the 60s. Morticia was gothic, yet always glamorous. I want Morticia Addams style make-up. |
 |
| Another member of the Addams family, Morticia and Gomez Addams' always charming daughter Wednesday. I loved Christina Ricci's portrayal of Wednesday so much, that I'd probably name my own daughter Wednesday. Not only did I like all of Wednesday Addams' dresses in the 1991 version of The Addams Family , I quite liked her attitude and morbid sense of humour. I think Wednesday and I relate. When wearing black, always remember to dress like you are going to a funeral. |
