Celebrity muses and styles--What's yours?

I've realized that I've never ever talked about your celebrity muse and your style. And with back-to-school approaching (yes, it's more than a month away, but shopping can take a long time), finding your muse (and style!) is more important than ever. So sorry if you have to muddle through a very long post today.

Take into account that your celebrity muse should have: a) the same body type as you, b) the same skin tone/hair color as you, and c) the same style as you (duh!). A and B aren't necessary, but C definitely is.

There are a few different styles (may not be a lot, but that's cuz I'm a snob. Style does not mean gothic, emo, scene, or anything like that. That is just considered teenage casual[-ties].) Here is the first of the few recognizable ones:




1. Park Avenue Classy--You're not flashy, though you're label-conscious (though not in a bad way). The P.A.C. dresser knows what true style is. They sport the perfect Hermes scarf, the cutest Burberry trench coat, and only the best multi-ply cashmere. And the 2k diamond studs. Oh yes. Don't forget the studs.


The P.A.C. style girl is so not a label whore. That means Versace, Gucci, Fendi, and Prada are out--so trashy and flashy. They look for very understated, high-quality, basic clothes (that usually don't have the label stamped all over them), that may last for a long time.





Brands of note for the P.A.C. girl: Hermes, Chanel, Burberry, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Uniqlo, J. Crew, Gap, etc.





Icons of note:
Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany's

Gywneth Paltrow, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O., and Blair Waldorf (a bit too flashy, but then again, her idol is Audrey Hepburn).

See you on Monday, with a post on Preppy!
