Style Icons

In such a superficial world its no wonder that we come to idolise those beautiful people we are exposed to through magazines, films, tv and other media forms. Young starlets dressed in the latest designer fashions without a care in the world about price or whether it suits their body shape. Its not surprising that we draw some of our best outfit choices from what we've seen a celebrity wear. Gradually you come to follow similar clothing choices and colors of a set selection of people. People you want to dress like, be like. Style Icons so to speak. Some are elegantly classic - Grace Kelly - some are modern - Brittany Murphy - and some are just a shock - Kelly Osbourne. I'm no exception. I have a collection of celebrities I follow and that I have to admit that they influence what I wear quite considerably. So who's on my list of style icons, well lets see:

• Mischa Barton
• Lindsay Lohan
• Lauren Graham
• The Olsen twins - especially Mary Kate's boho chic
• The Hiltons - especially Nicky's classier touch
• Gisele
• Nicole Richie

These are just to name a few though, there are others for certain moods and styles. I know it may seem that I dont have my own sense of style if Im merely copying someone else, but arent we all copying someone else to some extent? And since when has this ever been a bad thing? If we didn't copy someone else a little bit, clothes retailers would never sell anything more than once and theres only so much uniqueness that can exist without it starting to reappear in some form.

So who inspires your style? I bet that if you asked some of your closest friends they would have the same people too. Everybody has someone they idolise in terms of style so if that means being a sheep to fashion and celebrity, then BAAAAAAAA!
