Style Icon: Audrey Kitching

Audrey Kitching is a blogger and model. Her style is extremely unique, creative, and awesome! She looks like the modern day Marie Antoinette. She has been asked to style photo shoots and be part of ad campaigns.



Her hair (or extensions) resemble a 16th Century delicate wig. Its color, and the flowers in her hair remind me of Kirsten Dunst in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.





The inspiration for this photoshoot seems to come from the same film.









I love how unique her look is. All of her accessories combined reflect her perfectionist approach to creating and keeping her style. Kitching is an inspiration for everyone to just be themselves.

Vibrams- The New Running Shoe?

When I first saw these shoes, I thought they looked like socks or slippers.
The soles reveal that they really are for running.
Wearing vibrams feels like being barefoot, only with slightly more protection from dirt and rough ground. Their pedicure-like toe separations relax the toes and release pressure.




They look slightly better on guys. A slightly fetishistic great new invention!

Update

Ann Ward is officially the winner of this season of America's Next Top Model!

America's Next Top Model: Ann Ward

My prediction for the winner of America's Next Top Model: Ann!

Her pictures are flawless and her social awkwardness is adorable. She has won best photo five weeks in a row, and broke America's Next Top Model history. I do wish she would break out of her shell a bit more.

She says her shyness comes from being teased about her height in the past. She's 6'2.

Ann is very quiet, and in the past episode says, "the strategy going through my head is just try to scream, even though it feels like im screaming just do it."


Ann's an inspiration to anyone who sees themselves as a social outcast.




She really reminds me of Tilda Swinton in Orlando, in this one.






This photograph is my favorite. A black angel that looks soft and delicate.

Trend - Oxfords

Menswear inspired clothes and accessories are here to stay for now (2010-2011).

Oxfords are comfortable, powerful, and chic.

Winter Trend - Animal Hats

I don't care if Halloween is over...you can still wear those animal hats!

(Its almost winter and 75% of your body heat leaves your head, so stay warm! A hat means you'll be almost instantly warmer.)

REAL GIRL

I noticed animal hats of different styles on sale in New York. This is on 6th Avenue in Midtown.

Or you can dress your animal in a hat :)

Fall: Time for Warmer Shoes

I've noticed that my feet are getting cold in sandals. It's time to buy some cute shoes for fall.

IN: Wedge Ankle Booties

I'm obsessed with these Giuseppe Zannotti Leopard Print ones:

Forever 21 has a more affordable version:

I also love these Kelsi Dagger ones from Macy's:

OUT: What is worse Cowboy boots or Uggs?

Fashion Overload: Rachel Zoe

The celebrity stylist is known for her style, works for her style, and lives for her style.

The Rachel Zoe Project (her reality show on Bravo) reveals how much of her obsession with fashion controls and harms her life.

Rachel:

- worries about clothes day and night

- shops uncontrollably

- has no free time to spend with her husband or friends

- stays a size zero to be able to fit into anything she likes

- says my clothes talk to me

- says they don't hug me back, but they give me so much pleasure

- when her friend says, "clothes don't love you back, rachel," she says "they kind of do."

Her husband has revealed that he is looking to create their own family together. He says if she doesn't realize that this(her fashion family) is not a substitute for their own family, he will probably not stay in the relationship.

Rachel treats her clothes like children. She doesn't realize that there is more to life than fashion.

I adore fashion, but know that it isn't the most important thing in life. We should live for our relationships with friends and family, being loved, trying new things, and learning about the world.

I highly recommend another reality show, The Buried Life, airing Mondays on MTV.

The Buried Life is a show about a group of guys who make a list of 100 things to do before they die, and do them.

Girl Dolls

Why do some girls use dolls as their fashion inspiration?










I think some people take it too far sometimes.

Many fashion spreads and ads have used dolls as inspiration.
