My second Fashion Beauty Friend Friday Group post, so exciting! This week’s questions are about inspiration and it’s been fun thinking about where my inspiration comes from.
1. Which celebrity (celebrities) do you look to for fashion inspiration? There are several celebrities whose style I admire- I wouldn’t necessarily say that I try to copy them, but I often like what they wear.
Zoe Saldana: Well, first of all, she’s absolutely gorgeous and I think her style is effortlessly chic in a way that I really love.

Blake Lively: She is one sexy lady and doesn’t mind showing off what she’s got!

Rachel Bilson: She’s petite (like me!) and looks chic both on and off the red carpet.

2. When it comes to your own personal style, what inspires you? When describing my personal style, I find it really difficult to pinpoint the right words. I would say that I’m inspired by looks that are girly and simple/comfortable, yet still chic. I’m a pretty mellow, easy-going person and I think that’s reflected in my style. Other times, however, I want to try something different, like tough combat boots or bright colorblocking! I don’t know, help me out with this one guys! How would you describe my style?

| a little edgier |
3. How do you hope to inspire your readers? As I often say, I’m inspired by real-girl fashion and I hope to do the same for my readers. I hope I inspire my readers to try new outfits, learn a new craft, or learn more about a topic that’s new to them! I’m inspired by my fellow bloggers everyday and I just want to share the love and pass on the inspiration. =)
4. Outside the realm of fashion who/what inspires you? This is a little bit of a reiteration of one of my answers from last week, but I think my parents are really inspirational. They have both overcome a lot of adversity to get to where they are now and they’ve done it all together- I think that’s really amazing.
5. And since Idol is ending… Which songs inspire you? Anything by John Legend (click here and here for my two favorite songs). Seriously, he’s my go-to artist no matter what emotion I’m feeling, and especially when I want to relax or focus. His voice is just so…soothing and in my opinion, it touches the soul. I would absolutely love to see him in concert!

I’m mixing up the genres this month because I feel like I burned out on holiday romances last year 😅 Have you read any of these?

ah, Zoe Saldana is crazy beautiful! and that open back dress looks super sexy! and Rachel Bilson?! LOVE HER TOO! She's definitely inspiring to me because she's petite (like me too) and it's hard to dress sometimes for shorter people :( so I get tips from her hehe. as well as MK Olsen!

I loved this post. It is so interesting to get to know a person just a little bit more and the more I get to know you…the more I love you girl! I would have to say that my favorite celebrity style inspiration comes from Victoria Beckham. I think she has amazing style! I would say the person that inspires me the most is JESUS! I sooooooooo want to be like Him!! ;-) Kiah
I love your style inspirations! My list is sort of a motley crew (hello Courtney Love).

i adore rachel bilson, she is amzzing
firstly, welcome tot he group!
secondly, i think we might be soul sisters :) not only did we both name blake lively as a style icon, you totally called it with zoe saldana (who i completely didn't even think of) not to mention i am OBSESSED with john legend. slow dance is my favourite john legend song of all time. i have been declaring my intention to marry him for years.
lovely ladies!! great inspiration! i love all ladies myself dear! hope all is going well nnenna! Muah!
Ahhh we have some of the same favorites fashion lady inspirations :) I really think Zoe does a fantastic job of picking shapes and colors that accentuate how gorgeous she is but they never overwhelm her. She wears THEM, as they say!

So What If I Like Pretty Things
Yes, I think that's a great way to describe her! Me too- she just has such beautiful waves! =)
I love Rachel Bilson!! Her style is casual yet feminine like mine. :) And I wish I had Blake Lively's hair. hahaha!
