1 word: Gorgeous! No one can ever go wrong with a bold red lip and winged eyeliner.

Inspiration: Ms. Diana Ross

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009


She’s such a strong woman who’s survived through so many obstacles. She’s unfairly labeled as a b**** just because she has standards and won’t accept anything less. She’s the only performing artist I can name who isn’t afraid to perform in the rain in Central Park. When I think of the words glamorous and diva, she’s the first person to come to mind. She’s Diana Ross and she’s an inspiration to me.

And plus, she’s the only person fabulous enough for me to wake up at 4am just so I can watch her interviews in peace and quiet.

Inspiration: Pretty in Pink

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Photobucket
Pretty in Pink is a classic, my 3rd favorite movie of all time, I can relate to Andie on many levels, I love Iona’s outrageous clothes and hair and vocab, and Duckie is my style icon (not to mention pretty hilarious). What is it about Duckie’s clothes that I love so much? Why is it that I can’t leave these 80’s John Hughes movies alone?? Congrats to Molly Ringwald on the birth of her twins!

In my world, a day is not complete without visiting The Sartorialist’s street style blog at least once a day so I am just dying and living to get his book !

My sad attempt at illustrating Wakeema Hollis

Monday, July 20th, 2009

After reading Igor and Andre, I was so outrageously inspired by the illustrations that I had to take my aching wrist and just draw some glamazon ’til my arm fell off.

Between this and the pic below I don’t know what the heck happened. I did realize that I shouldn’t have tilted my paper while drawing which results in a neck as long as a skyscraper. Ah…I’ve got a lot of work to do with this illustrating stuff!

Inspiration: A double of dose of Audrey Hepburn

Monday, July 20th, 2009

After finally transferring a ton of Audrey Hepburn pics from my old and crusty former computer, I would have to say it would be an absolute shame for me to not make an inspiration post including the pictures.

Excersize is good for the mind, body, and soul…

Madonna we love you but sorry dear, Audrey did the whole Louis Vuitton thing first including the bunny ears.

Inspiration: Forrest Gump, the fashion icon

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Photobucket
I know what you’re thinking. Yes, Forrest Gump is a movie where u do more laughing than clothes watching but I add Forrest Gump to my tiny list of fashion icons simply because his style NEVER changes which falls into perfect accord with YSL’s quote, “Fashion fades but style is eternal.”

No matter what decade he’s in, no matter the occasion, no matter if Mama or Jenny or Bubba died, Forrest ALWAYS wears that blue plaid shirt and red Nike tennis sneakers. For that, I admire him.

Inspiration: I put the floral in floral prints

How can one ignore where floral prints come from? I don’t know about you but I find flowers inspiring and can stare at them all day long. Here are some lovely ones I discovered while going for the usual evening walk with my dog.
