Poll: Who Are Your Style Icons

By -
The term "style icon" has a pretty loose meaning. When you ask people for their style icons they often include a list of celebrities both well known and obscure followed by a short list of people like their mothers, sisters and best friends. A style icon in a more strict sense is anyone recognized by the public or a group as a person with a strong sense of personal style. This could be anyone from Audrey Hepburn to Lady Gaga to Jennifer Lopez to Jackie O to Madonna. Instead of leaving a list for you to vote on because an inclusive list of famous style icons would be impossible to compile, I'll just leave this poll open-ended. Who are your style icons?

I feel stupid saying it simply because she is in one of the photos. But definitely Audrey Hepburn because of her classic style.

I find inspiration in Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. A modern date twist would be the Emma Pillsbury character on Glee.

I've always felt pretty inspired by Gwen Stefani's style--from her days of kool-aid hair punk to rockabilly glam to her Harajuku-inspired looks. She always looks like "Gwen" no matter what influences are visible in her wardrobe.

I have three that I rely on pretty heavily for inspiration: Zooey Deschanel, Emma Pillsbury from Glee, and Chuck from Pushing Daisies. Those ladies combined are what I want my wardrobe to be.

Cyndle has a good point about Gwen Stefani.

If I had to pick a person, I think I'd go with Cate Blanchett. Like Gwen, she always look like herself, no matter what she's wearing. She can swing from classy to funky while looking strong, bold and fabulous. I love a strong woman who plays with clothes.

I have always been inspired by three women: Audrey Hepburn who embodies grace, Olivia Palermo for her chic and Nicole Richie because she is casual.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

Meet your new favorite simple summer dress

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
