bright

i think white is my favorite color, it's so crisp and refreshing. don't all these pictures make you crave summer? too bad this is totally out of season for me, right now as i speak the wind is HOWLING when all i want is to be lying on a beach sipping an iced chai tea latte & listening to a playlist full of mellow music. also as soon as i have more money, i'm going to buy a lot of loose flowy white tops (preferably with a slight twist such as an asymmetrical hemline) & silver toe rings-don't ask me why but lately i've wanted one so badly!

MARGAUX LONNBERG//

StyleLikeU Closet Interview with Margaux Lonnberg from StyleLikeU on Vimeo.

To be honest, lately I've been feeling super uninspired. But someone whose style is always an inspiration is the French blogger/model (of Danish, Swiss, Czech and French background-oh my) Margaux Lonnberg. I fell in sartorial love with Margaux after seeing photos of her on Johnny's Bird, traipsing around in a lace bodysuit with her rocker boyfriend. Ever since then, I've been following her blog, The Killing Moon Confused.

With her tiny waiflike frame and simple yet striking tattoos, Margaux has a unique look. To top it off, she looks like she could of just stepped out of Woodstock-think messy blonde locks, long layers, and stacks of beaded bracelets on her arms paired with a pair of masculine boots. Margaux's style is effortless and California hippie, but with a touch of that certain french je ne sais quoi.

For some reason, I hated the color orange until now. In small doses I really like it, I think its perfect for summer.

SCOUT WILLIS//

Scout Willis has the coolest life-her parents are Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, she's lived in France, and she has an amazing dorm room with an even more enviable wardrobe. Stylelikeu posted a wonderful video & set of photos of her describing her personal style here, which is a bohemian mix of vintage and eclectic pieces. She takes inspiration from many decades, such as the 20's & the 50's, books like F. Scott Fitzgerald's Flappers and Philosophers, films like The Royal Tenenbaums (note her amazing fur coat) & more.

Be inspired by Scout:

-Find inspiration from different decades. Scout wears Victorian styled blouses and 20's styled slips. Look to the past decades for fashion AND beauty inspiration (Scout likes to wear her hair like a 50's greaser.) Feel free to mix decades too, like sixties styled winged eyeliner and bellbottoms styled jeans from the 70's. 

-Shop vintage. This is a great way to get unique pieces, and authentic articles from your favorite decade.

-Mix textures. Try fur (real or faux!) and suede or silk and denim. 

-Accessories! This is a great way to make a simple outfit interesting. For a bohemian feel, Scout loves to pile on turquoise. Try to build a collection of rings, necklaces, & bracelets which you can pile on. 

-Gain inspiration from more than fashion itself. Read books, watch movies, listen to music, and look at the world around you.  Allow these to stimulate your senses, allow yourself to think outside the box.

-Don't be afraid to wear something outrageous if you really love it. Scout believes everyone can pull everything off, as long as they are "willing to walk out of the house and really own whatever you're wearing."

Some pieces you may want to pick up:

-a great fur coat (real or faux)

-knee high boots

-silver & turquoise jewelry

-flared/bell-bottom denim

-a maxi skirt or dress
