Style Influence of the Day: Virgin Suicides

You could watch a Sofia Coppola movie on mute and still think the film is stunning. Coppola's movies are visually stunning and she clearly has a great respect for stylization, which I love.

Here is a tribute to my style influence of the day one of Sofia Coppola's most beloved films Virgin Suicides. The film has been a fashion inspiration for many and continues to be influential even though it has been more than a decade since the film was released. Makes me want to wear floral prints and check out the latest Rodarte line.

Did I mention that it is one of Kirsten Dunst's films? Hahaha, Kiki's style influence is everywhere what can I say. 

 

Style Influence of the Day: Alexa Chung

She may not be well known by the American public, but those who know of her are very aware of why Alexa Chung is a fashion icon. Mulberry named a bag after her. Madewell recently did a collaboration with her as well.

 

Known for her adrogenous and quirky style, has stood out for her passion for the industry and various collaborations . I love the simplicity of her look and the odd choices she sometimes makes. Nothing makes a girl a fashion icon quite like being on the worst dressed list as well as the best dressed list. 

Style Influence of the Day: 2004

Randomly found myself watching a few old episodes of The O.C. this weekend. Which reminded me, what the hell happened to Mischa Barton? We all know Rachel Bilson is still a fashion darling, but Mischa Barton went from style icon to hot crazy mess. You know I like a good hot mess sometimes, but not when there is too much crazy involved.

Mischa Barton's character on The O.C. had some great style moments. Even the not so great style moments made me a bit nostalgic for the fashion of 2003-2004. Those pleated mini skirts were everywhere (I think I had a plaid one). One of my favorite looks from the show was this Chanel dress she wore one episode. I couldn't find a better screen shot of the dress, but I loved the white sequins with the grey chiffon and the buttons in the back. The hemline had pleating too, but you can't see it in the photo. I've been on the hunt to find a better picture of the dress, so if anyone finds a picture of this Chanel dress circa 2004, let me know!

Here is a little tribute to Mishca Barton of 2004 when she wore everything right. I guess 2004 is my style influence of the day:

Does she still have all those Chanel bags?

Style Influence of the Day: Rock Royalty

A photo shoot has surfaced of Francis Bean Cobain on Hedi Slimane's Diary. It is amazing! I am now counting Francis Bean Cobain as one of my style icons to watch. She looks amazing in all the shots and she is just the perfect mixture of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. I always love the edgy girls (I am loving her tattoos).

Check out some of the pictures from the shoot:

She will definitely be someone to watch. I hope there are more photo shoots in the future of her. I am sure there will be though she is basically a rock and roll goddess.
