Fashion Muse: Alexa Chung

Even though Alexa Chung is fashion's newest 'It' girl she remains unfazed and true to her own sense of style.  Her collaborations with Madewell are spot on and she will have a new show this summer on PBS called Thrift America.

Her laid-back and confident style is definitely attainable, but her je ne se qua, not so easy.  I love her relaxed attitude about fashion.  For instance, her take on trends. . . 

"I don’t really follow trends. I don’t know what they are. I think people make them up, and then they say, ‘Oh yeah, yellow’s really in this season.’ Sometimes there are obvious trends, but there aren’t any at the moment I can think of. Are there? It’s bullshit. Trends are a lie magazines make up so you feel like you have to buy something."

  My take on two Alexa Chung looks:

Look 1:

T.Babaton Dress, Aubin & Wills Cardigan, Lizzie Fortunato NecklaceDolce & Gabbana Tote, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti's CoatSteve Madden Bootie, Socks
Look 2:Sephora Kohl Eyeliner, Aubin & Wills BlouseMarc by Marc Jacobs Sweatshirt, Mulberry Alexa BagBeyond Rings, Louis Vuitton Pump, Cacharel Pleated Skirt

Fashion Muse: Ginger Rogers

I love this picture of Ginger Rogers.  Apparently, she played a mean game of tennis...

Have a fantastic weekend; I plan on finally getting out to practice my serve.

Fashion Muse: Margaret Court

I have been obsessively watching the Australian Open and I wanted to feature a tennis star, but sad to say I'm not a Venus Williams fan, or really a women's tennis fan in general, so I looked back to one of the greats.

Margaret Court is amazing, she is one of only three players to have achieved a career "boxed set" of Grand Slam titles, (winning every possible Grand Slam title - singles, same-sex doubles and mixed doubles - at all four of the Grand Slam events.)  That is insanity!  She is the all-time women's record holder for grand slams, 62 titles, including being one of only three women with a Grand Slam (all four titles in the same year), and that will most likely never be bested.

Fashion Muse: Zooey Deschanel

I absolutely adore Zooey Deschanel, particularly in regards to She & Him.  She has fantastic taste and a definite eye for vintage.

I'm definitely keeping tabs on their concerts more closely this year...

Fashion Muse: Jane Fonda

My resolution for 2011 is to be more fit, both mentally and physically.  What better way to do this than yoga and meditation?  This photo of Jane Fonda is ridiculously cute, she is a crazy woman that still looks amazing in her 70's and I'm guessing her dedication to taking care of herself is a good part of the reason.

So here's to a great 2011...

Fashion Muse: Carole Lombard

This fantastic picture of a festive Carole Lombard is my dream Christmas; all the trimmings and dressing to the nines...

Merry Christmas Eve!  I hope everyone has a great holiday, I'm looking forward to spending time with my nieces and nephew.

This is my take if I were to go to a fantastic Christmas party:

Alice + Olivia Charlie Embellished Dress

MAC Red Russian Lipstick

Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes Glitter Pumps

Fashion Muse: Mountain Girl

I just finished reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (okay, I skimmed the last third...) and I am fascinated by the Merry Pranksters.  The crazy time of "on the bus or off the bus" in the 60's, listening to Grateful Dead and experimenting with LSD and marijuana, is far from the idyllic persona of so-called hippies that I had previously perceived. 

 Mountain Girl (Carolyn Adams) is an incredible character, she is the Prankster's muse and defines the adventurous, free-spirited woman.  

This is my take on her adorable mod look...
