Style Icons

Style icons are very important to the fashion industry, people look at celebrities in magazines and on the intent and often use their style as influence. Honestly, what would we all be wearing if there were no style icons? Some of my favorite style icons are: Emma Roberts, AnnaSophia Robb, and Troian Bellisario.

Emma Roberts is one of the most trendy celebrities out there. I love Emma's style because what she wears isn't to crazy but still has some twist to it. She even has her own fashion App called Snapette! My favorite outfit out of these four is probably the second to last one. I like this outfit in particular because it is simple yet classy. The embellished light blue cardigan with the casual jeans. This timeless look is always a favorite of mine.

AnnaSophia Robb is probably my all time favorite actress/style icon. Her style is exactly like mine, simple and classy. I fall in love with everything she wears from fancy dresses to jean shorts.  The outfit out of these four that I adore the most would have to be the first one. I just love how the chic jacket looks with the more casual jeans to create a put together look. Also what I love about AnnaSophia's style is all of her striped tees and long-sleeves. AnnaSophia is really good at wearing what compliments her petite body type. And I think not many people know what looks best with their body.

Troian Bellisario is one of the best dressers I've seen. She has a preppy twist on her style that still shows the sense of comfort and a laid-back look. My favorite out if these outfits would have to be the third one because it is very simple yet put together. The collared, button-down shirt tucked into the wool-looking, woven skirt creates the perfect combination. This picture was taken when Troian was at Sundance Film Festival last year.

I hope you liked my point of view on the fashion influences and icons of today. I hope this post makes you think about who your style icons are and maybe explore some others! I enjoyed posting something like this for the first time, I am most definitely want write about something like this again. 

Until next time!

History on the Runways this Fall

Ever so often trends come back. What we see on the runways today are most likely improvements of what's already been done. That's how fashion works. But how people take it to the next level is what keeps us interested. This fall, models are sporting looks from a variety of different time eras. 

One thing that has been hard to miss fall are the big coats. This trend of oversized coats have appeared many times before: the 1910s, 1920s, and the 1980s. These coats either have a big boxy feel to them our very elaborate folds and colors. This style can appear very androgynous at times. Oversized coats can have things like fur, patterns, hoods, and folds to create variety and appeal. I personally love this style because it gives a sophisticated look and it steps over to the men's side of fashion without overdoing it.

Ladylike silhouettes have been making appearances the runways in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Boudoir is making a comeback. We see it as elegant evening ware with a comfortable feel to it. Lots of spaghetti straps, silk, fur, and lace. Many shades of pinks, deep reds, and creams seen on lengthy gowns. We've seen this trend from the 20s and 40s. This time the clothing has a sort of pajama inspiration to it. In my point of view Boudoir is very classy and timeless, anyone looks good in it.

Black and white: the trend that appears most often. I don't know what it is about those two colors that everyone loves. Is it the boldness they portray? Is it the symbol of class it gives off? Is it the versatility of the colors? In my opinion that's exactly what makes black and white so abundant in the fashion world. No matter what time era, you will see black and white. It's one of those things that never goes away. This fall the black and white has taken a turn into the 90s. It's very "cutting edge".
