Not only do I think we actually physically look-a-like... I also think we have an affinity toward the same sense of style. We both like comfortable, unique pieces and we know how to really make a look our own. Inspired by the 60s and 70s, Zoe and I both share a whimsical and carefree approach to fashion and life.Who is your fashion twin?

PS I snuck in a pic of myself... can you tell which one is me?

Model Style

One of my favorite sources of inspiration is models wearing their own clothes. Exploring and experimenting with their personal style... much more obtainable than the designer duds they don on the runways... My fav models are Liya Kebede, Jessica Stam, Gemma Ward, and Sasha Pivovarora.... who are some of your fav models?

Loved these outfits from the Teen Vogue fashion forum

The girl on the bottom sewed these lace leggings herself... pretty impressive, huh? I definitely have all of the pieces to put together the first look and I will once it gets a little warmer in the city. What do you think of the outfits? Have you ever made of any of your own clothes?

Inspiration of the Moment: Maryanne Faithfull

Candy Washington5 Comments


My current fashion inspiration is Maryanne Faithfull... I love her eclectic look. She has an a very unique sense of style mixed with rocker chic, hippy cool and indie rebel (years before it was trendy). She definitely paved the way for the modern twist on this look. Read below for her bio courtesy of Wikipedia...

Marianne Faithfull (born 29 December 1946) is an English singer, songwriter, actress and diarist whose career spans five decades. Her early work in pop and rock music in the 1960s was overshadowed by her struggle with drug abuse in the 1970s. After a long commercial absence, she returned late in 1979 with the landmark album, Broken English. Faithfull's subsequent work, very frequently the subject of great critical acclaim, has at times been overshadowed by her personal history.

Over the course of her long recording career, Faithfull has continually reinvented her musical persona, experimenting in different musical genres and collaborating with such varied artists as Angelo Badalamenti, Beck, David Bowie, Nick Cave, The Chieftains, Jarvis Cocker, Billy Corgan, Marcella Detroit, Emmylou Harris, PJ Harvey, Antony Hegarty, Rupert Hine, Joe Jackson, Alex James, Lenny Kaye, Daniel Lanois, Sean Lennon, Metallica, John Prine, Barry Reynolds, Keith Richards, Sly and Robbie, Teddy Thompson, Tom Waits, Rufus Wainwright, Roger Waters, Steve Winwood and Patrick Wolf.

What do you think of Maryanne's style? And who inspires you? More "Inspiration of the Moment" to come!!
