Charlotte Gainsbourg: Tomboy Style

One of my favorite things to do on rainy days is watching foreign films and drinking rose tea, which is exactly what I did the on the other day while it poured in Los Angeles. Somehow I found myself watching Charlotte Gainsbourg films. Not only do I love her as an actress, but who doesn't? I am also a fan of her music, she's a brilliant singer/songwriter. That's not all, she is a well respected style icon! Her tomboy style is flawless and by that I mean, this girl really knows how to mix the chic and tailored look. I am loving the button up shirts, classic stripe shirts, dark jeans and minimal jewelry. She is currently my source of style inspiration for fall.

Advanced Style

Last night I was going through my blog drafts and came across this post on "Advanced Style" that I began writing last summer. For whatever reason it was never published. Advanced Style, is a blog by photographer Ari Seth Cohen. He takes pictures of fashionable silver haired (sometimes pink haired) women, who are living proof that style gets better with age. As a tribute to Mother's Day weekend, I though it would only be appropriate to finally publish this post today! Feast your eyes on these beautiful portraits and get inspired. 

(Above) The lovely 73 year old, Beatrix Ost. She looks like everything an artist would want in a muse and she wears turbans so well.

You might not know Iris Apfel by name, but I am sure you might recognize her by those fabulous oversized specs and costume jewelry. I first became familiar with this legendary fashion icon, through Bill Cunningham's blog and like everyone else, I instantly became enchanted with  her "style as art" look. Read more about her life here. 

This is one of my favorite photographs. I love the clash of patterns, colors and jewelry. Dolores Forsythe, featured here, also happens to own a jewelry store in San Diego. Get the look here.

Meet Tziporah Salamon, yet another elegant woman with so much effortless style and grace.

Can't get enough of Iris Apfel. Here's another one of her charming interviews.

This post would not be complete without British Fashion Designer Zandra Rhodes and her famous quote, "Personality and jewelry will conquer everything." Read about her amazing career and life here.

The beautiful Linda Rodin for Grey Magazine. Check out the the complete layout here.

I can't wait for the release of this film. Check out the trailer!

NYFW Street Style

Hello, I'm back! It's been too long. So many exciting things have been happening in my life lately, a new career in television, a new pet and possibly a new apartment, but regardless of all these changes, I am still the same girl. I still continue to be inspired by the same things....

Fashion Week took over New York City last week and I can't keep enough of all the collections that were shown, but most importantly I am always amazed by local New Yorkers and their street style. These are some of my favorite pictures.

Muse of the Week: Natasha Khan

Boho, grunge, 70's glam? I don't even know how to describe her many looks, all I know is that her style is always original and she never disappoints me. I can never get enough of Natasha Khan and her band Bat For Lashes. 

I love this picture. It reminds me of one of Anton Corbijn's famous black and white photographs. 

Nathasa Khan's band Bat for Lashes will release their new album The Haunted Man on October 15 and you know what that means? They will touring soon!! I can't wait to see them live again. Another reason why I love this band so much is because they create some of the most amazing artsy music videos, that can easily be mistaken for indie short film. Check out their music video archive here.   

Get the look is back again. Natasha Khan inspired me to create a new board. I hope to feature more of these in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy these hand picked pieces.
