Inspired by It: Alison Sudol

I have been in love with A Fine Frenzy since my early high school days. Alison Sudol not only has an amazing voice, but also an incredible sense of style. I would like to say this is about the time I really became aware of what I was wearing and started taking an interest in fashion. I slowly started shopping at thrift and vintage stores. It sounds kind of silly but Myspace had a lot to do with my new sense of "style." It opened up my view and I was able to see how other people in other parts of the Country, and World dressed. Alison was one of those people. I loved her vintage dresses and how she was always wearing tights. She looked so gorgeous, and I wanted to find outfits just like hers. I also always admired her bright red hair. I would never dye my hair such a bold color, and I usually don't love when other people do either (God gave you your natural color for a reason, because that is what looks best on you) but some how she pulled it off. Alison has been a fashion inspiration for many years now, and continues to put out great albums, I really can't wait to see what she does next.

Inspired by It: Zooey Deschanel

I loveeee Zooey Deschanel. You may even catch me in the mirror holding my hair on the top of my head deciding whether some straight across bangs would suite me or not. Don't worry, I know that with my curly hair I will wind up looking more like a cockatoo than a stylish young lady. Besides her amazing bangs I am constantly in awe of her style. She is always in vintage dresses and adorable tights, and even has the best shoes. I guess you can call her one of my style inspirations. I know what you are thinking, "Real original Nicole, every semi Indie girl with a pair of floral tights and a Death Cab for Cutie album says the same thing." And I guess I have to say you are probably right. Oh well, I don't mind being one of the crowd on this one...

Inspired by It: Chanel Spring 2010

So I have to say my favorite designer of all time is Chanel. Original, I know! But I believe if something is this popular it must be some kind of awesome!! I was looking through the Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection and was definitely inspired. Thanks Karl you never let me down!!

This is my FAVORITE color pallet ever! I just love pastels! Almost a little Marie Antoinettesque...

If I could live in a movie it would be this one!!
