My Style Icons: The Bold, the Beautiful and the Breathtaking

Bonjour Beauties!
Everyone has style. If you wear clothes you have some sort of style, it isn't just for high fashion twenty-somethings living in New York City and attending the Fashion Institute. We all have an individual and unique style that makes us who we are, it reflects our personality and gives a good (or bad) impression to those we've just met. With style comes those people who have inspired it. Everyone's style began somewhere, whether it was a three year old little girl who absolutely adored the yellow rain boots they saw on their play mate, a thirteen year old boy trying to impress the girl in his math class so he takes outfit ideas from that one actor every girl his age loves, or a fifty year old rediscovering animal print after deciding to splurge on a Gucci handbag because that three day work call she was on really took a toll.
A style icon can be a celebrity, a movie character, a family member or a stranger you saw on the street. So here are my super chic inspirations:

 Taylor Swift: 
Common Style Elements: High waisted skirts, 50's style clothing, colored jeans, cat printed anything, kitten heels, oxfords
Aside from being gorgeous Taylor sure does know how to dress. From high waisted skirts to cat shirts to jeans and a plain tee she always looks amazing, and also gives the rest of us amazing ideas for new ways to wear old clothes.
 Demi Lovato:
Common Style Elements: Ripped denim, leather jackets, band tees, tights, combat boots, high heels
Okay, Demi is an inspiration in general in everything she does, but in this case she is very much an inspiration for style. Her punky style is my absolute favorite, especially the way she wears her ripped denim shorts and band t-shirts.
 Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games:
Common Style Elements: Comstumey dresses, excessive jewelry, wild hair pieces
Admittedly I would never go out in her outfits seeing as they are a little wild for day to day life, but her girly day to day style and confidence in wearing whatever she wants makes me want to be super confident and slightly over the top with my outfits.
Sam from The Perks of Being a Wallflower:
Common Style Elements: Tights, headbands, oxfords, high waisted skirts, well fitting dresses, letterman jackets
Everything about Sam is admirable, and I aspire to be her. She is my idol (yes, my idol is a movie/book character, deal with it). Her confidence and forwardness is amazing and not to mention her style is outrageous gorgeous. Though simply and easy to wear, her outfits are often very flattering and very pretty, without having to spend to much time ripping through your closet to find an outfit.

Who are your style icons? I hope you enojoyed reading and I hope you may have found inspiration for a new look! Keep an eye on these ladies style because you will not be disappointed at what you see!
Bisous,
Emily and Liana (Limly)
