Celebrity Role Models.

I was on Teen Vogues website, and they were asking people about there favourite celebrity role models. Mine I would say are Audrey Hepburn, Nicole Richie and Ashley Olsen. Yes they all extremely different people, but all people I admire, look up to and respect.

I started writing a comment on the site, and then wanted to post here about why they are my role models...

I have admiration for Audrey Hepburn. She was a woman that held such grace and elegance, and she was eternally beautiful. Not only on the outside was she beautiful, but I believe she had a beautiful soul. She helped communities from all over the world and was a great humanitarian whilst working for UNICEF. She was and still is such an inspiration. She grew up during wars, but she still managed to make something out her life. She never gave up, and she lead a life of determination. I also look up to Nicole Richie. I admire how she managed to completely turn her life around; from ‘wild child’ to the woman she is today. I see some other celebrity mothers, but only a few seem as devoted as she is to Harlow. I think her life has been some what a perfect fairytale-from how her life has had many lows, yet she came out on top, and for that she is admirable.

Finally, I admire Ashley Olsen. She has been in the public eye from an extremely young age, yet somehow she has managed to stay true to herself. She has not followed the same path as everyone else; going to prison or falling out of nightclubs. Instead she has used her love for fashion, and created two fashion lines; The Row and Elizabeth and James. I feel she has such a great work ethic, and this is shown in her and her sister Mary-Kate's book-Influence...

As a little girl, I was practically obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley. I would collect their books, their magazines, their movies-anything with there name on it, I had. I don't know why I had this fascination with them, but there was just something about them that seemed so unique, as if they weren't like other child stars. And I guess now, that fascination has carried on. Except now, I don't covet board games and dolls anymore, now I lust after their wardrobes. Ashley's especially. I think she has such an ornate sense of style and this is why she stands out as a style icon.

All of these people have such amazing style, and this is just one of the things, I feel, that makes them such role models. They have all shown such positive examples for the most part, and have influenced the the way I dress and inspired my love for fashion.

So who are your favourite celebrity role models, and how do they inspire you?

Amazing Photos

I was on the Blog 'Every Street is a Catwalk' and there was a post, containing some of the most amazing and summery photos which I loved, so I just wanted to show two of my favourite from there... I especially love the yellow tint on the first one!

Does anyone know which magazine or where these photos were from, because I would love to find the rest of the them from the same shoots.

Winter Coat.

Last winter, I kept seeing people with a style of coat that I loved, but I could never find one like the ones I saw in shops. But earlier I was looking at some pictures of the new coats for this season for ideas, and I saw one I loved, and was practically the same as the ones I saw in London. Only, it was Phillip Lim, which is obviously way to expensive for me! So I wondered if any one has seen simular designs elsewhere that were cheaper? I love the length of this coat, and the buttons, everything about it really!

Outfit.

Just a quick outfit post. I went Lakeside yesterday, and this is what I wore...

Top: New Look

Leggins: Topshop

Scarf: Primark

Bag: River Island

Music.

I love music! I think my favourite bands have got to be The Killers, Empire of the Sun, The Virgins, The Fratellis, Kings of Leon, Kasabian, and Metrostation :D I figured the Virgins aren't that well heard of, so I'd put a few of there songs on here to see if anyone else likes them? :) The Virgins are small band from New York, and I first heard them on Gossip Girl, when Nate was listening to his ipod-the song Rich Girls!

The September Issue

I can't stop watching this trailer! Its so captivating to just see the rush of energy held in a two minute long trailer. I mean, there is just so much going on, and its so amazing to see all these different clips of behind the scenes at Vogue. I love Vogue magazine, I've been collecting it for ages, and one day I would love to work in the journalism industry-Anna Wintour has like my dream job lol!

When the Devil Wears Prada came out, I sat watching in the cinema, in awe of how fabulous that whole industry seemed, and practically ever since then Ive had a major obsession with magazines and almost everything fashion related. But at the same time, I knew that that film was also rather fictionalized. Yet now, I will finally get to see what really goes into making of a magazine!! OMG :D

Anyone else excited to see it?

Chessington.

Me and my family went to Chessington Theme Park yesterday! Theme Parks aren't really my favourite thing in the world lol, but it was actually quite good :D My brothers loved it though :P

Topshop.

Omg I LOVE the new Marianne collection at Topshop! I saw it the other day and I love practically everything in the collection lol! As much as I love all the summer clothes, Im excited for the winter too :) The tights, fur gilets (faux by the way), biker boots, scarfs, winter coats and oversized wooly jumpers. I love all the sequins, all the embellishments! I can't wait to hit up Topshop and get started on my winter wardrobe. In August? lol!

Obsessed.

I love magazines. I have continuously collected Elle, Vogue, Glamour and Teen Vogue every single month since May of last year. Time and time again my mum tells me to throw some out because were running out of space :S
