    Lara Stone Curates Not Just a Label

    image
    Jennine on Sep 8, 2009 5:24 AM PDT
    When they say Not Just a Label, they really mean it. A shop that's been around for a few months, with guest curators including my hero Diane Pernet, this online boutique really promotes all the labels I love to write about (ahem Blushless!) This month they have Lara Stone, and I'm not really a person to gush over models, but I have a not-so-secret girlcrush on this alien looking lady. Seriously, I'm always amazed every time I see her... that's Lara Stone? Yep, that's what I think. Anyway, before I digress in my internal conversations, as if I didn't have another reason to love her, she's also picked an amazingly cool selection of clothing for this month's shop. Among them, my dear Liv from Blushless Livlaovone heart dress, Emma from Seelenkleid (posted about here and here) Gemma Slack's Spine Dress (posted about her too), Lara Dawson's Buckminster dress, and yeah, I could go on linking to this site, but you get the drift. It's worth a peek, and it's nice to see an online shop that carries all my online muses.

    What to Wear: Meeting His Parents!

    You've been with your guy for a while, and things are getting serious. His parents are coming to visit. He wants you to meet them. Try not to panic. You're charming! Guy knows that you'll wow them. Now, to decide what to wear! A few recommendations: wear something flattering, but not revealing. Don't show too much cleavage or too much leg, but hey, work your assets all the same. Choose a classic style like Calvin Klein's Laser Cut Ruffle Shirtdress. Something that will flatter your curves, but also says, hey I'm a good girl and I would make a great mother to your grandkids. If you've got a killer dress already, I recommend one pop of interest and color with your jewelry. Wearing something like Kenneth Jay Lane's Garden Cuff is great because if all else fails, it's a conversation piece. Check out my slideshow for lots of options to meet his parents!

    Style Icon: Natalie Portman Blends Talent With Taste

    Natalie Portman is about as intriguing as a person can be. With unquestionable talent, a Harvard degree in psychology, a poise and sense of self stronger than most, she is a rare thing to find in the movie industry. With 15 years of experience, she's taking her career by the reins, creating her own production company, handsomecharlie (named after her late dog, Charlie), and trying her hand at writing and directing her first feature film. Politically and socially active, Natalie is raising awareness toward the causes that are closest to her heart like animal rights and environmentalism, most recently by designing her own line of super chic vegan footwear for Te Casan.

    Millissa on Mar 11, 2008 4:16 PM PDT
    Marchesa Luisa Casati is one of the muses, as well as a major influence, at Haute Mimi. We love how she had a sense of mystery about her, and how she lived in almost a fantasy world. The Marchesa has been our source of inspiration at HM. With her ostentatious jewels, exotic clothing, decadent fur and outrageous lifestyle there has not been a more inspiring fashion icon. Why not make your life a bit more fabulous and adopt Casati's style secrets? Here's a slideshow to show you how!

    Style Icon: Natasha Khan From Bat for Lashes

    If there is one person whose closet (let's be honest, whose whole life) I'd like to raid, it would be Natasha Khan. Singer, songwriter, multi- instrumentalist, visual artist, and now my personal fashion muse, is there anything this British beauty can't do? Combining unusual instruments (like the harpsichord), a militaristic sound, a vintage vibe, and mystical indie rock, her songs are hauntingly beautiful. She is a master storyteller, taking us on trips through animal kingdoms and magical dream sequences. Her covetable style incorporates the whimsy of her music with a 70s flair, lots of layering, and is always topped off with a retro style headband. Check out my slideshow of some of Natasha's favorite designers mixed in with my faves she'd look great in, then watch her amazing video.

    Sounds like: Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Bjork
    Top Songs to Download: "Priscilla", "What's a Girl To Do", and "Horse and I"

    Styling Fashion Muse Jennifer Connelly

    Jennifer Connelly's style is like a fine wine. She has always been classically beautiful, but age has descended upon her gracefully, refining her Oscar-worthy talent as well as her stunning sense of style. As with my other favorite muses, Jennifer is not afraid to take fashion chances, winding up on the best dressed list almost as if by accident. I am not the only one that finds her intriguing, as she is the new face of Balenciaga, looking fierce in animal prints, and exotic, sculptural silhouettes. Nicolas Ghesquière has certainly taken notice of her muse-worthy status which has has attempted to capture in his ad campaigns. With her famous dark eyebrows, pale complexion, and model-esque physique, how could she not inspire?
