Alexa Chung style

Because which young blogger hasn't admired Alexa at some point?

Still thought her book was atrocious. All these people praising it, it was quite void of any real reflection? Fashion has so much potential to do so much more, but it likes its place in the ivory tower, looking down at the unstyled masses

Cher

I am in love with the colours of her outfit to the Oscars in 1974!

Sure, people still dress like this, but there was just something so brilliant about it back in the day, maybe because it was highly original, and many fashion icons truly were pioneers of style, but something is lost when people "push the boundaries" today, I like to think styles always go back to the past

David Bowie and Cher together ^_^ YouTube their performances, you won't be disappointed!

The 60's and 70's will always be immortalised by people who weren't alive during the era because of the legacy it left behind! We're just lucky that these cultural gems are still around for us to listen to, wear and see! ^_^

Valentino floor length gowns= swoon!

The August 2014 cover featured the Downton Abbey ladies, all wearing Valentino gowns.

I am particularly in love with the ethereal colours, silhouettes, shapes and textures of floor length Valentino gowns in particular, really wonderful, wistful and elegant.

All the cover ones were from the 2014 collection I believe ( I won't pretend to know and can't be bothered to google)

Jaime King in a 2015 gown, I just love it! The sleeves, colours, everything! Stunning!

Look at these colours and the attention to detail, like a fairytale being played out in real life

Twiggy: Sixties

Ah Twiggy! What a face! I wonder how many eating disorders you inspired (not intentionally, obviously) with your awesome facial features, cameos on Ab Fab and sometimes hilarious moments as an America's Next Top Model judge, your style is kickass and bloggy girls with their bloggy bangs will love you forever!

Fists! Across America!

Amal Alamuddin Clooney style

So kind of like the rest of the world, I think Amal Clooney has a pretty kickass wardrobe.

Currently a politics and international relations student, I was somewhat confused when I saw headlines that the human rights lawyer whose papers I had to read for class was getting hitched to George, I live under a pretty big rock!

Some of the cases she has been involved in have been mega intense, like war criminals who get sent to the international criminal court intense! So it feels weird bringing them up in this context, so heavy moment over....moving on!

She always looks so lovely, keeps it simple, but is ridiculously stylish! Nice tailored, structured pieces and she chooses colours that complement her well!

This J. Mendel dress is like something materialised from a dream!!

and of course the Stella McCartney pantsuit she wore in Venice.....really was amazing! I've always liked big hats but they are hard to pull off, she does it so well :)

And her casual style is making me super happy and jealous! I love this floral jumpsuit, and the one at the top of the page! Wonderfully colourful and she's wearing a Tatty Devine necklace of Frida Kahlo, now it's hard to be more awesome than that....
