Check Mate


Jacket, Jeans- Forever 21. Bodysuit, American Apparel. Boots, Go Jane. Earrings, Ring- Vintage.

(Ph. December 2009)


When I'm stuck in a style rut I look to Alexis Bledel and Sarah Jessica Parker for inspiration. I believe a balanced blend of quirky and traditional initiated the Carrie Bradshaw or Rory Gilmore in every girl.

Hi Erika! Long time no comment... I love those boots - kind of like a mullet... serious in the front, party in the back (I would not have guessed that stiletto heel)...

i'm glad you're a fellow john mayer lover, i'm always embarrassed to admit it.

A Stylized Hysteria said...

You looks great-awesome boots! I definitely think about Carrie Bradshaw when I need inspiration. And sometimes Serena and Blair from Gossip Girl :)

Anastasia said...

you look great with hoops on...

i think i get most of my inspiration from Scarlett Johanson and Blake Lively...
I really like the retro pin-up girl look and I think they both pull it off so well

I liked the contrast that the rough-ish boots created with the rest
of the outfit (:

Huumm... the celebrities I look for in search of style inspiration are Lindsay Lohan, and the Olsen twins. I love how they always look so effortlessly chic.

Katie said...

Very cute! Love your celebrity style inspiration :)

Lovely jacket, very vintage :)

Lily said...

What gorgeous shots my dear!

You look so beautiful. Your hair always looks amazing..how do you do it darling?!

The checked jacket is wonderful, I love it's almost cape effect.

There are so many different celebrities I draw inspiration from. At the moment I'm looking towards the past, Grace Kelly in High Society feeds me with such ideas. One of my favourite films and the style is just wonderful.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend,

Love

Isabella said...

that's kind of interesting that you look to Alexis Bledel for style inspiration. I've never really heard anyone cite her as a source of inspiration. It's a good thing, though. It shows that you are original and you don't look to the traditional style icons that most bloggers look to.

I'm inspired by SJP too. And Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel.

French Frosting said...

It's cool to see you in jeans. I need some ankle boots yours are so cool. I like that they have a sharp heel & not a chunky one.

You always wear outfits that I imagine Audrey Hepburn would have worn had she been a movie star today. So classy, so glamorous, and so fab. So, so fab.

This outfit just proves my point. xoxo!
